These pre-match games are stupid. Nobody is in the ground to see them. And we are given as little as 90 seconds to try and get the banner up as a result. We had to wait at the Geelong match so that celebrities could finish so completely naff game of golf out on the field.

Maybe play the match at half-time instead? At least people will be in the ground to watch their former heros.

Yeah, would hate to miss a toilet paper banner so I could see some champions I watched play again...

The thing is NMW, that is what 70% of the SCG audience will indeed be doing.

The matches are OK if they actually DO have former players running around again. Even if it does get rather tedious seeing Humphrey Bear and this musical note thing running around every time they have these games.

If people turned up, pre-match entertainment would be more than worthwhile. But considering that people are still sipping a red wine at Fox Studios whilst it is on, why do they really even bother? Last week they had some people playing golf out on the ground. What were they supposed to be doing? And why were they there?

And bring back the original Swannettes. They'd all be in their late 30's by now!

Always interested to see blokes I remember running around in the SANFL prior to coming to Sydney. Henwood had 3 seasons in Adelaide and 3 in the WAFL before that. He was an enforcer there as well as at the SCG. A classic footy journeymen. Did he not go down to Melb. with the Dees to finish up????

Nah mate, what about "Kick On"?

What a boppy little number that one was. We'd be down by 10 goals and up would come this song reminiscent of something by Agadoo or Bucks Fizz. It is making me want to strip right down and dance around the bedroom with a feather in my mouth, NOT!

"Whizzer's back. Where he belongs
Up above the pack. He's looking strong.
With the Moose and Huck. Alotta guts, a little luck.
The Sydney Swans are coming on and kicking on!"

We're gunna

KICK ON KICK ON!

YOU SYDNEY SWANS!

COMING RIGHT BACK, COMING ON STRONG.

SO KICK HARD, FLY HIIIIIGH! KICK ON KICK ALONG!


KICK ON KICK ON (kick on kick on)

YOU SYDNEY SWANS (you Sydney Swans)

WE'RE GUNNA SHOW EM WHERE WE COME FROM

SO KICK ON, YOU SYDNEY SWANS!

UGH!"

PS:-"Beasts and Bombers, Blues & Roos,
you know the Swans ain't gunna lose!"

Cant understand why Dale Lewis isnt going to be out there for another run! I'm sure he would be popular.

That's a little scary JF! Don'y you realise that knowing the lyrics to this obscure song is taking up space in your brain that could be used for stuff like remembering your children's names?

I suppose you could make that same criticism about the reserves game as well. However some people can't get enough of the Swans and show up to see the reserves and enjoy it and we'll watch the oldies too, so there!

By all means stuff the celebrities! Stuff the golf! but this is Mark Bayes, Andrew Dunkley, Tony Morwood, etal!
As for the banner, why don't you show both sides to the whole ground before the game like the oposition cheer squads do? I find it hard to empathise with you situation when I never see the results of your work.

Actualy, the more I think about it, the more I think JF is right. Kids come to see their heroes, not the fat has beens reliving their glory days.

Actually I remember my dad pointing out his heroes to me in just such a game 30 odd years ago when I was a kid, it 's all about getting in touch with the history of this club. Something Swans marketing seem incapable of.
In any case being a "fat has been reliving their glory days" is a lot better than being an acerbic never was reviling someone else's glory days!

Sorry if I seem a little heated but you seem to have hit a particularly sensative nerve there.

Way off the mark, i think you missed the sarcasm ?
