The last time we were top of the ladder and it wasn't after Round One of a season was Round 3 2001 when we knocked Essendon off the top for the first time since early 1999

That's correct, after our big win against Carlton.

This year there has been no significant comment about our position
That's because most people realise that top position after round 1 is pretty meaningless! Also the top 2 teams - Sydney and Geelong - clearly drew the easiest first-round opponents.
Also remember that at the start of 2003 we were most (ignorant) people's pick for the Spoon, regardless of our form at the end of 2002.
We may not be seen as legitimate premiership contenders this year by most but I reckon more would have us in their predicted final 8 than would have us miss.
Why is vereybody seeing this victory as something of a great importance. Until round 7 or 8 we won't know anyway so why bother looking into tea leaves to forecast the future. Why don't we just wait and see till then what destiny will unfold for Sydney Swans and then start squabling about.

We'd certainly be seeing it as important if we'd lost!
