ROUND 21: Swans magic, and midfield, puts the Dogs away
The Swans routinely fall short in milestone games, but their performance at the SCG on Saturday night showed not even the most malevolent spirit could overcome Kirk?s karma. They footy gods answered all of the expectations of the Swans faithful ? and then some ? as Sydney despatched the self-declared premiership contender by 44 points, ending a run of five losses against the Dogs and making a down payment on a home final. The Swans took control of the game halfway through the first quart... -

Swans soar once more as Goodes comes up with the goods.
It started at 9.50 that morning. The reserves were strutting their stuff, big Jesse White, who in the seniors had been unable to buy a mark, was plucking the ball from the air as if his hands were lined with velcro. He finished with 8 goals in a dominant display up forward. The reserves had a mammoth win in a dominant display all over the ground. It was the start of a very good day for those wearing red and white. But that was the reserves, and their opposition was the lowly Tuggeranong Hawks. The ... -
ROUND 12 PORT ADELAIDE VS SYDNEY SWANS MATCH REPORT
Port Adelaide 4.0 6.2 8.5 8.7 (55)
Sydney Swans 3.2 10.4 11.6 14.9 (93)
After securing a tight win against Essendon on the back of four straight losses, the Swans went into this game needing a win to go into the mid-season break in positive figures on the win-loss scale. Port Adelaide had been faring worse, if possible, and were coming off five straight losses with both teams perched precariously around the bottom of the eight. This was a true eight-point game with finals in sight... -

Sydney vs Essendon - Round 11
"A game the Swans had to win to keep their season alive." "A tightly fought contest that went down to the wire." "A match were the "old blokes" finally stood up." All are true but a bit passe. Jude's record for contested possessions has already been gushed over, McVeigh's clearances delighted in. The weather remarked upon, the umpiring ruminated upon. What else is there to say about this game? I thought I would approach this match report a little differently, and write about a few of my favourite... -

Sydney vs Fremantle, 22nd May 2010 - Match Report
Another year, another RWO match report. In hindsight, this was a bad one to pick. I try to snare Freo at home because we are usually guaranteed a win, and the Dockers give me a giggle in a "they're so inoffensive, it's hard to hate them" sort of way. Little did I expect that I would go into this game having missed watching the last two games entirely through various circumstances - as far as I was concerned, the last time I saw a game, we were on fire and on top of the ladder! So what ha... -

Cats make Swans pay for poaching Mumford - Round 7 Match report
The word on the street was that the Geelong Cats were still upset at the Sydney Swans for poaching their up and coming Ruckman, Shane Mumford, and the proceeding game on Sunday May 9 was case in point. After a solid first half effort by the Swans, the Cats pulled away after half-time piling on 12 goals to four in the second half in a 19.12 (126) to 9.5 (59) percentage boosting win for the reigning premiers. Before the match, I had hopes that if the Cats were still upset at the Swans that this,...

Sydney v West Coast, Round 5, match review
The weather was a little weird, but the temperature outstanding for the latest nouvelle 'traditional rivalry' to play for some kind of minor cup or trophy: Sydney v West Coast. That said, what followed was hardly an appropriate inaugural match for commemorating the horror of war, and the ultimate sacrifice made by those on board the HMAS Sydney II on 19 November 1941. (A more fitting game would... -

Round 2: Adelaide Crows vs Sydney Swans Match Report
Swans Break Adelaide Drought in Dashing Display It seemed like an ordinary Sunday in Adelaide, hot, sunny and dry. 36,000 fans lined up outside AAMI stadium so that they might see the next instalment in a long running series of Swans defeats at the hands of the Crows in the stronghold of AAMI stadium. This is, at the very least, what the fans were expecting, and it seemed that even the idea of a hard fought Swans victory would be dismissed with little more than a broad smile and a pat on the ...
