Argh! My mum said no! She doesn't understand footy!!! I just saw some footage of the Swans walking on stage, their faces tell it all. Omg, i wanna go! I wanna show them my support, i wanna show them that with a cup or not, i still love them! I hope whoever is going will give them support. They need all the support they can get, it's such a bad loss mentally.

What did your Mum say?

Try and convert her to a football in time for next season.

I shall be doing that with my parents too.

me too ... my dad's almost there - went to 3 games this season and was up to the point of abusing umpired and yelling loudly so he's well on his way but mum can't understand why i am so obsessed ... she did however yell quite well @ the freo final which was her only game this year.

I don't think I will ever be able to do that with my mother.

What were the boys eating when they came up the race?
and why did Fossie only have one shoe on (did he injure his foot)?

Did anyone see the team bus? I think either Jude or Nick must have driven it to the SCG.

The one that got stuck half way out of the gates on Driver Ave? Yes I saw it. Also commented on the OH&S issues of the driver crawling under the back wheels whilst the engine was running.

Ugh..I really wanted to go but crikey my hang over was killing me, so glad the boys had their chins up, at the airport earlier they were all looking so sad, I just wanted to give ben matthews a MASSIVE hug, I dont normally think much of the guy, I just turned to him and said "I love you guys no matter what"

I didn't speak to any of the other players, they really looked like they just wanted some time alone.. and I respected that.

Don't give up. I converted my Mum when she was 75 and now (81) she doesn't miss a game. Told me she had to leave the telly and go and walk around during the last quarter as she was so uptight.

The obvious reason being that we have a lot of fair-weather supporters ?

Very disapptd with the turn-out at the SCG . Roos was diplomatic of course , saying how great it was for so many to turn up.
But 18 of those magnificent boys would've noticed the diff in the numbers compared to last year.

Told Bomber McVeigh how proud we were of him , making Ben Cousins take a baxckward step.Replied with a smile.
