sounds a lot similar to the "believe we can win the grand final and we will"

Believing we'll win won't make us win. But believeing we won't will guarantee that happens. I'm talking collectively,not individually.

the players need to believe....doesnt matter what we think or do, and we may identify our culture as poor but has anyone got a solution??



i just think supporting football becomes so complicated for people sometimes, just go out cheer and enjoy. Ok we havent had enough success yet, i honestly think we will and im sure everyone here does. Im also sure everyone gets great enjoyment out of supporting the swans

Players mainly. But remember if you keep telling someone they are no good, they will be no good. A winning culture is just as hard to get, or lose, as a losing culture.

I have thought this , so accordingly I wonder about Roos saying that we are a team who are not as skillful as some others.
Isn't that a self fulfilling prophesy ??

Are we happy now Bee, our great doyen of truth and virtue?

It was the time when you abused them in a pub after losing the Wizard Cup match against the Dogs that made all the difference! You kept em honest Great Man! We won the flag because of YOU Beaussie!


Jf (enjoying going through old posts to see how things used to be like....way back then when we hadn't won a flag. )

PS:- Can we see your Premiership ticker-tape parade dance again mate? And that Nick Davis song you thought up?

PS:-"Hamburger, I want some"

FFS, how many years do we have to wait for a premiership or even a victory in a pre-season cup. There can be no denying that our club's history is embarrassing.

I for one am sick of being told it will happen one day. Some of our most loyal fans have died waiting for that.

Also, for Roos to come out and say we are not taking the Wizard Cup seriously really pisses me off. How the **** are we supposed to attract new members when we bomb out first round of the pre-season? Real inspiring stuff Swans.

Get used to no more Wizard Cup FTA TV coverage at a decent hour Sydneysiders.

Bring on a second Sydney team and make this wannabe AFL team accountable. The sooner the better.

How long is it going to take you to wipe the egg off your face now

yeh there are supporters and there are supporters...
I remember 93' like yesterday and every week i thought we could win! If you dont believe in the side dont follow them or become a richmond supporter!

Is that egg sticky or what!

I think it was you who made the difference.

If a fan can truly make a difference to the team, I would like to think that '93 was all about me.

A real fan would have jumped off the bandwagon in '93

I remember in 93 when we broke our our losing streak

My son was only a few months old and I was at a park near my mum's house.

My eldest boys were at a birthday party at the park when I
tuned on the radio and heard we were belting the Demons.

I grabbed my 3 month old and rushed to my mothers to watch the final quarter - Kel was brilliant that day

my eldest 2 boys 5 & 3 wanted Swans jum0ers the next day

That was back in the days when we had to pay for media space in the Sydney Metro papers

How times have changed

Our History is NOT embarrasing - look at St kilda first
