Iemma sees the light

[Glenn]

Its a conspiracy

The Labor leader then challenged Victorian premier Steve Bracks, a noted Geelong fan, on the outcome of Friday night's semi-final between the Swans and the Cats at the SCG.

So to Steve, if the Cats get done you will have to fly the Sydney Swans flag not in Spring St, I would like to see it flying above the MCG."

He has very shrewd political advisors.

He has my vote!

[Charlie]

Any word on whether Bracks has taken the bet?

[OldE]

Also nice to see someone come out and say something extreme.

Interesting, though, that the conspiracy stuff was edited out of the sydneyswans.com.au version.

Just shows the whole nonsense of the KGB-like AFL regime.

Everyone in the world can say what they want but for the players and umpires.

The AFL is allowed to take potshots at clubs, players and coaches but not the other way around.

Iemma should be appluaded for what he said.

Not sure if he took the bet, I guess we will find out when someone goes down to the G and sees the Swans Flag flying above it

eirinn, I guess the conspiracy part had to be edited for the official site (even if we all know it's true )

[punter257]

did anyone see roosy in the background when he was making the comments? had a nice smirk on his face and was probably thinking that the point might get across to the AFL without the $20000

[Captain]

I thought the guy is a Collingwood supporter??

[Glenn]

Is a Collingwood supporter, but I guess now has a soft spot for Sydney.
Just saw a ad for Sports Tonight, and the Morris Iemma presentation will be included, and the shot at the Umps

[SimonH]

It's always a good sign when pollies get on the bandwagon.

The only bad news is that he's peaked a couple of weeks early.

A Collingwood supporter the premier of NSW?

Wonders never cease.

[Mike_B]

I saw the Swans flag flying over the G less than 2 weeks ago...

[ScottH]

That might of been coz we were playing there!!!

Did you notice the Pies flags on the 2 cranes?? hehehe


Iemma = Bandwagoner

[ScottH]

Iemma bags Swans umps

"I can tell you it wasn't the best effort that the AFL umpires have put on this year that effort on Friday night. Yes you could be conspiratorial and say there was a conspiracy against Sydney."

What was the stupid thing Bob Carr said re Swans (or was it Lockett) when he jumped on the wagon

Nothing wrong with an ex aussie rules player from NSW having two sides - very very common - ie pre Swans Sydney people had a side and now they have two.

Even my Melb born wife who was died in the wool Blues fan now cheers for the Swans
