  • Sydney vs Fremantle, 22nd May 2010 - Match Report

    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...

    Round 8 Swans vs Bulldogs Match Report

    ROUND 8 ? Manuka Oval, Canberra


    Western Bulldogs 4.4 9.6 14.10 14.17 (101)
    Sydney Swans 3.2 4.7 6.9 9.9 (63)

    Swans lose spark as Hall fires.

    The Swans struggled for the second week in a row as they went down to the skilful Bulldogs by 38 points in the Nation?s Capital.

    The Swans were hit hard even before arriving in Canberra, losing Moore to an ankle injury and Mumford to suspension as a result of a bruising encounter...

  • Cats make Swans pay for poaching Mumford - Round 7 Match report

    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,...

    PREVIEW: Swans take on history and the Cats

    Sydney vs Geelong, Round 7. Skilled Stadium, Sunday May 9, 1.10pm

    For all the talk of ?one week at a time?, history weighs heavily on footy, and it?s certainly making its presence felt at Skilled Stadium on Sunday.

    The Cats haven?t lost there since 2007. They?ve won their last 18 at Skilled and if you include ?home games? at Etihad and the MCG - the AFL does - they hold the league record for 25 home wins in a row. Since the Swans last beat them in round 5, 2006 at ...

    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 ...

  • Round 2 Sydney vs Crows Preview

    Round 2 Sydney vs Crows Preview

    I should be fond of AAMI. Many of my best formative experiences happened there. The 1976 grand final. The Alice Cooper and Bob Dylan concerts. My first taste of a beer that wasn?t Southwark. And yet I don?t like it. The Crows, who abandoned it to the Power last year, don?t like it. The AFL and the state government, who are tipping $450 million into Adelaide Oval, don?t like it. And neither do the Swans. We routinely knock off Port there, but we can beat the Power anywhere. We ...

    New season, new faces, same result.

    The ?new look? Sydney Swans took to the field at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night with six new players but the result was anything but new as the Swans lost to St Kilda in Round 1 for the third straight year.

    Swans? debutants Shane Mumford, Mark Seaby, Ben McGlynn,...

    Everything Old is New Again: Sydney Swans Season Preview 2015 People often tell me that life is funny. Funny? The events of Saturday 27th September, 2014 were far from funny. In fact, they were as funny as the sparrows nesting in my roof all summer, perched directly above where I lay my weary head! Let me tell you, 3am chirping is not much fun, and neither is playing witness to your team's worst performance in many a year.....On the biggest day of the year. However, as the new footy season...

  • Goodesy's 350th: My tribute to the great man
    by joemoore12
    350 and beyond: Congratulations Adam Goodes Adam Goodes was born on 8th January, 1980 in Wallaroo, South Australia and thank god he was. On 19th September, 2014, he will play his 350th AFL match for the Sydney Swans and it has been a tangibly pleasurable experience to witness such a distinguished career. For football supporters, certain players evoke a particular sense of adoration. For thousands of Bloods, that player is our much-loved, much-admired, forever cherished number thirty-seven. A gentle so...

    by joemoore12
    AFL Round 21 ? Sydney v St Kilda: Half Time Hero The more things change, the more they stay the same. This rings true for Swans supporters these days. We truly are a fortunate bunch. The winds of change have swept through the Sydney Swans like never before, yet we still get to cheer more often than jeer. A generation of Bloods heroes are slowly, but surely, moving on to the next chapter of their lives. Chapters that don?t necessarily involve us, the supporters. The game has changed. The g...

    by joemoore12
    I am a simple man who enjoys simple pleasures. When the humdrum of a gloomy winter routine becomes a little mundane, it's time for a break. This year, my wife and I have opted for a trip from a chilly Hobart to the snow-laden, glacial wintry wonderland of Cradle Mountain. As per any dinky-di road trip, the supplies are plentiful, the stops are planned and the tunes are blissful. Life is all about the simple things and when your day includes visiting a proper country bakery and a cellar door wine...

  • AFL Round 18 - Hawthorn v Sydney: The Faceless Man Returns
    by joemoore12
    When passengers boarded Virgin Australia Flight VA858 in Sydney last Friday afternoon. There was shock. There was horror. There was inconceivable confusion. There was a faceless man on board. 'Where is his face?' asked one bamboozled guest. 'He looks astonishingly boring' said another. 'No face, no hope' claimed a repulsed flight attendant. The Faceless Man is returning to a land where he once ruled with all the might of Julius Ceasar in Roman times. The snide remarks and puzzled sideways glances...

    by joemoore12
    AFL Round 11 - Sydney v Geelong: Jumping Through (around, over and under) The Hoops For the past two weeks, I have revisited the bachelor lifestyle as my wife has been in the nation?s capital on a work assignment. My in-laws know all too well that my efforts to provide for myself have been questionable in the past, and so, offer a roast dinner which I simply cannot refuse. Tonight, the Swans play the Cats. My father-in-law is a proud Geelong man. In five years of knowing each other, and becomin...
