Now that we have won a Premiership, what will happen?

Because comparing us to Brisbane would be stupid.

However a comparison to Adelaide in '97-'98 is valid and thus back-to-back is a possibility.

Well if anyone decides that they are going to leave - they must consult Charlie - he will be very angry with them otherwise!

It's wrong to say either that we will go back to back or sink into oblivion. There are other possibilities:

West Coast 1992, 1994
Kangaroos 1996, 1999

Even if we don't win another flag for 8 years, that's still better than we've ever done in the VFL/AFL. If we do win another in the next 8 years, Vic Belcher will get some company as a dual premiership player for the Bloods.

If we don't go deep into the finals this year, I predict the "I want my mummy" factor will see some Premiership players wanting to leave at the end of the season. It happened to Port Adelaide, with Schofield, Carr and Montgomery all running home crying. Prime thumb-suckers on the Sydney list are Fosdike and O'Keefe but it could be more widespread. An important season ahead if the squad is to hold together!

Incorrect, won't happen even if we have a disasterous year.

Reason: Williams was/is a p***k who treats his players like built up shower grime, whereas Roosy is a champion bloke and coach who the players want to play for more than anything else.

The only important season ahead is the developing, new and injury-prone players like McVeigh, Richards, Malceski, Donkey Doyle and Chambers.....

NMWBloods will win us a premiership again with his wisdom and dedication to the cause. No wonder everybody thinks the Swans will win the wooden sppon.

More chance of a wooden spoon than you saying something even vaguely sensible...

Ouch!

I would be amazed if we ended up anywhere near a wooden spoon this year. Without the slightest bit of arrogance, I think us going back to back is probably more likely than finishing last, but that's just IMHO.

I agree. Hence the comment...
