Top 5 things about being premier.

[Nico]

What I like is being able to tip my Swans cap at Saints supporters followed by the words, "we have bragging rights for the next 12 months". The filthy looks are worth their weight in gold.

yeah totally agree with all the above

the thing i just love at the moment is being acknowledged by various people that know you're a supporter and have been there through thick and thin. they are genuinely happy for me that i have tasted some success

Totally agree with your above comment. So many friends, work collegues said that they watched the Grand Final for the simple fact that they knew me, a mad, passionate and devoted Swans fan was at the Grand Final cheering my team on!

This is a dream come true! Great to share it with all these like minded people on RWO!!

I also like that no one can turn around at games and say to Swan's supporters anymore..."When was the last time you won a premiership?!?!?"

I had a bank teller paying me out the day of the PF, she was a Stkilda moron. Next time I go to that bank I'll be wearing th Premiers t-shirt and members cap

I believe this is by far the best part. It's not just us that have to adjust to a recent Swans premiership. Supporters of other clubs have to come to terms with the loss of bragging rights over Swans fans. No longer are we at the bottom of the premiership pecking order but at the top. No longer will Swans fans have to hear the put down, "When did the Swans last win a premiership?" Now we can ask the hard questions instead of answering them.

The revolution is GOOD! Long live the revolution!

Unfortunately a premiership has not shut up the saints supporters at my work. I still get the whole "The AFL gave it to you" rubbish. Last week I even got told that the AFL assisted us because when Lockett played for St Kilda and was reported he always got suspended, however when he played for us he never got suspended blah blah blah. And of cause he had to bring up the Hall incident.

I just told them that they must be right because the AFL helped us win all those games this year by kicking goals and stopping the opposition on our behalf.

And then I showed them all the Swans posters I have up around my desk including the one of the team with the cup .

They then quickly went silent!

Don't you understand...it's a conspiracy against St Kilda...they always pick on us...blah blah blah...who cares...We won.

Ask them why the guy (can't remember his name) who punched Goodes wasn't even reported??????? that might also help to shup them up...but I doubt it, because it's a conspiracy against them

I suppose it's becuase it has a lot of buttons that can be pushed to get you aggravated.
