I'm not excited by 2005 any more. I have come to accept and understand that we do beat Geelong and that the Grand Final in 2005 ends differently than in 1996.

I need another one.
I hope the players feel that hunger for another premiership from the first bounce of season 2006.

I don't eat animals since discovering this ability. I used to. But one day the lamb I was eating came through to me and ever since then I haven't been able to eat meat.

Good one.....
Personally, I think this year should be called the 3B's 2006 - Back to Back Bloods 2006....
Well somebody told me, You had a boyfriend, Who looks like a girlfriend,That I had in February of last year, It's not confidential, I've got potential
I think I'll survive if we don't go BtB. Having said that though, this year and next year appear to remain fantastic opportunities for us so we need to take advantage (in the way Port and Essendon didn't).

I'm the opposite. I'm finding it hard to even care about the upcoming season 'cause I don't think anything will match last years effort. I still get chills thinking about the last 3 games of the year. In an otherwise forgettable year, the Swans of '05 were magnificent!
2005 was fabulous. I have to say it will be hard to beat. But I'm pretty happy for it to be beaten! So don't think I don't care.
I am definitely, not over 2005. It still brings tears to my eyes to watch each final. The mag brings tears to my eyes. Each remembrance. Like I say, it will be hard to beat. I think I'll feel this way in 50 years. But then, I still reminisce about the "day we won the cup" (America's Cup) - huge and what a day. This has been a huge month.
I still tear up when I hear that last passage of play - most recently last week when the ABC ranked our premiership at No.6 in their greatest sporting moments of all time list - No.1 in AFL terms.
I am as hungry as anyone for the next one - possibly more so - but I don't think I'll get over this one until someone takes our position as premiers and champions off us.
I'm reasonably confident it won't happen in 2006.

A premiership in 2006 (back to back) will make this the greatest Swans team ever - and we will all be there to see it!

Whilst a lot of people have predicted I will suffer a premiership hang-over I can assure them that my fire and passion is still there. No giving it all up to sell cars for me.
I'm 110% focussed on 2006 and rip-roaring and ready to roll.
Whilst I?ve celebrated long and hard over the premiership win it?s time to knuckle down and focus on going back-to-back.
I expect a lot of opposition fans out there will be wanting to take us down, but I am very confident that when the time comes we will all do our job. It?s about all of us doing our bit and if you want to support this team then leave your ego at the door. You won?t find any d*ckheads amongst our supporters.
We may not be a team of champion supporters but we are a champion team of supporters.
Impressive - what cliche book did you drag that from...
