One big advantage over 1996

This team is unlike any other Swans team since 1933. So much self belief and playing for each other.

Inspirational.

Forgot to throw into my post before.

1 Coach who's been there as a player in a losing team.
3 players who have played in losing grand finals (Magic, Nick D and BBBH)
1 player who has played on a winning team (Bally)
And one player after 13 years of footy finally playing in his first GF

+ One player twice named as a Grand Final emergency (Craig Bolton).

Plenty of desperation I think.

Yeah definitely forgot to add C Bolton - definitely deserves a grand final berth

Craig Bolton might just be the lucky charm. In his first year at Brisbane, the Lions made the Prelim Final before losing, in his second year they made the semi finals before losing and won a premiership in his third year at the club.

So far at the Swans he has gone Prelim in year one, semi final in year 2 and now the Swans are in the GF with a chance of a premiership in year 3.
