The ugly duckling?????

I am postively happy with the processes employed at the club at the moment and they have my full support. I am in agreeance with the strategies and procedures put in place to rebuild this club and take us forward in the next few years.
Believe me people, we are on course at the moment to go forward, very much so.

I would have preferred an experienced coach to nurture a new club. Malthouse did wonders in building up a list as he knows what it takes.

I think that things are going pretty well in the football department at the moment. There has been a focus on youth. Many of the players appear to have lifted their games - although there is still (and I guess always will be) room for improvement. I think that the coaching is being innovative.

Look at the criticism Ian Thorpe's coach was getting earlier in the week, then he wins the medley and he's back to being superfish.

I am hopeful of a good year, I have glimmers of hope for a great year.

Wasn't too ugly tonight.

We have just beaten the bottom side from last year with less than full strength side. Which proved to be a strong win.


Let's not get too carried away.

We will have a roller coaster ride this year, week to week there will be some strong highs and the lows will hurt deeply.

What needs to be remembered we are restructuring and developing a new game plan under a new coach.

Overall the ultimate result (premiership) won't come instantly, but will be the result of an improvement over a period of time (within 5 years).


Like Rod, I am a long term Swans supporter who is prepared to stick it out.

I'm not getting carried away, but tonight was a very good performance, we too were under strength, and we really couldn't have asked for much more tonight.

Tonight was the type of game we had to win to maintain the faith from those people who could be considered 'fair-weather' supporters. There were alot of positives there, but I'm not getting too excited, we were playing fairly weak opposition, and we will have a much better idea of just where we stand over the next few weeks.
