Wow, that IS a positive article.
Maybe we could follow the North Melb example and to hell with anyone who thinks a financially struggling club can't play!!! They have 2 recent flags so it's not a bad model to follow as far as I'm concerned
177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

The last paragraph says it all:
"How ironic, then, that the dreary stop-start rubbish served up in the name of rugby union in Australia's win over Ireland, is compromising this run-and-gun outfit. A real football team providing a great spectacle week after week."
And isn't he normally a rugby writer?Comment

I was reared on soccer .Whilst I still love the tension and excitement of the "world game" , I've seen plenty of dull contests.
Even a "bad" game of AFL leaves you with memorable moments.
Really , this game has it all.Comment

That is unless you were at the St kilda v Sydney game at Colonial Stadium last year!! What a shocker!! The only thing memorable about that match was the way it finished - neither side deserved a win.Originally posted by Swansinger

I thought Jeff Wells had been behind Sydney for a while.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Jeff Wells has always been supportine of the Swans . For a period he was highly critical of the style of play that was being used under Rocket's coaching . He was also less than happy the the Swans used to buy broken down hacks rather than developing young players . He was not alone on these two issuesWMPComment
