Is the Swans name a curse ? Maybe it is bad numerology

[footyhead]

Maybe we should go back to being the Bloods. The Sydney Bloods that is.

yeah, I was going to post in the other thread that we had never won a premiership as the Swans, but wasn't sure if our nickname was official or not in 1933 (I didn't think it was).

I hate that type of stuff - so hopefully this year the 'curse'will be broken

By the way, whoever wrote that hates the Swans. Crappy piece of writing.

[swansrule100]

the name would have no influcence on player perfomance...maybe marketing but i dont see why

some say it isnt fearsome enough but i dont see how we can have a blood running round with the kids instead of cyggie.

most team mascots are pretty tame

Crows:- I mean they are scared of men made of straw
Blues:- whos scared of a colour?
Magpies:- ohh no a little black and white board whats it gonna do poo on me?
Essendon: a bomber is scarey but that misquitto (Sp) or whatever it is is pretty pathetic
Cats: i only have to hiss at my cat and he runs away
Power: i use it to turn my lights on
Saints: how friendly do you get
Bulldogs:- put em on a leash!!!


that leaves lions, dockers, hawks, demons, kangaroos, tigers and eagles

and the kangaroos are kinda crappy i guess it could box you to death

and a demon well do they exist??

i think the swans is fine... i guess i could of just written that :P

Bloods, or Blood Stained Angels would be fine with me.

To be honest I refer to the team as the Bloods most of the time as is. I originally took up barracking for the team because of my an elderly relative and she has always called them the Bloods (82yo).

We could have 2 away strips:
All White - Angels
All Red - Blood stained

Because that is crap.

The name is Swans. Accept it, or go follow a more 'ferocious' team... like Richmond.

If we were called the "Bloods" then Eddie would claim (loudly echoed by Joffa) that the "Blood rule" gave us an unfair advantage in some way!!

But to me it is not about ferociousness or marketing. Like a lot of modern buisiness men, I have on occassion used Fueng shui to develop things like a more auspicious design to our atrium, and to plan for the best time of year to merge certain parts of our companies.
These taoist masters involved in this ritual, tell me that the different characters in the words used as the name for a company logo or title, has profound effects on the destiny of the thing so named.
Now I am not an expert on any of this, but the thought did cross my mind after reading that article, that the team we all follow had a fair bit of premeirship success under the name of the "bloods" but no success with the name "Swans" .... So maybe it is a numerology type thing, is all I am suggesting.
I mean it has been a long time. What would happen if we didn't win one for say 20 years ?
Would you consider changing it then ?
What if after another 20 years of no premeirships, the club decided to experiment with a name change for one year ? What if the "BLOODS" then won the premeirship that year ?? would you be prapered to think about it some more or is it just always going to be the "SWANS" forever no matter what the out come ???

Please, tell me... am I supposed to be taking this thread seriously or not?

Easy ... you'd have someone dressed up as a vampire!

Personally, I think numerology, astrology and other such stuff is rubbish. Why should it matter what letters in names add up to? Why should a bunch of rocks swirling around in space tell me what to do? It's all a scam.
