Dont worry, plenty of us still share that optimism and faith. Thats why we are collectively called "support"ers.

And if people dont think we can really win a flag, go watch lawn bowling for a couple of years while we "rebuild". You can come back in 2007, but we cant guarantee you that you wont miss out on some excitment in the meantime.

Well done Schneiderman...this is the most realistic...and in hindsight accurate post I've seen in this thread, because we have had some excitement...WE WON THE FLAG IN 2005

Raw talent and class don't win premierships on their own, and given a choice between excess of raw talent and excess of commitment, discipline and hard work I'd take the latter.

Well said Liz!

Everyone here should get real the Swans will not win a flag for at least the next 4 years. I have listed the reasons , so have others. All you blind supporters keep on keeping on!
Never give up thats the way ... you really know what your talking about! If you keep talking the Swans up long enough , they are sure to win the flag !
The Swans need a rebuild and a clean out.

Ah our much lamented FHead (aka bloodsports on BF).

He stated before the finals that he would only barrack for Swans until they won the flag. So now he is officially on the Saints bandwagon.

Why are people so sure that footyhead/bloodsports is a 'he'?

The same reason we know Stella is a 'she'.

I still dont know if Stella is a he or a she. Maybe it depends on how he/she feels when they get dressed in the morning.

Why thank you goswannie14. Funny thing about optimism is that you get to feel good about being right about a positive event. Dont think my pessimist Dad has ever understood that.

And whilst its "forum rude" to quote your own words, I still stand by these sentiments (and believe our change in belief is the key reason we won it this year):

Truly good teams revel in the challenge that each game, each quarter and each moment present. Sport is all about achieving what is by most considered impossible. If athletes begin to believe that a loss is "to be expected", or that "it cant last forever" then they are doomed to defeat. If you want to know why I think the Swans cant win a premiership, its simply through lack of belief. Whilst our talent is admittedly not the best, we have beaten every single team in the last two years.

To win the greatest prize, we have to master the true art of taking it "one game at a time". Paul knows this, and this is exactly the lesson he has so far spent two years teaching the team.
