No longer the laughing stock of the AFL!

[anniswan]

In ten years we have

Only missed out being in the top 8 twice.

We have been in 3 grand finals

We have won one grand final

We have played back to back GF's

2 Brownlow medals (Goodes)

Coach of the Year

Highest goal kicker of the history of Footy.



We are travelling OK, a lot of other teams would like to be in our shoes.

Twice I think!!, I seem to recall Rocket winning it in 1996 when the Coach of the Year was decided prior to the Grand Final on AA night.

Goodes was also a Rising Star to add to that list.

Yeah.. Swans have done well over the past years and will strive to continue (I hope).
Wasnt Adam Schneider rising star too?

We have come a long way in the last 10 years as a club and all can feel proud of where we sit at present.

If we can take advantage of the current playing group and win another premiership while managing to transition succesfully the next generation of players I will be over the moon.

Only have to look at West Coast and the pain they went through 6 years ago to see that even they as a club needed to bottom out and load up with picks to get themselves back up the ladder. If we can do it while remaing competetive that would truely be a sign of a great club.

Feel free to add to the list, those were ones that just came off the to of my head.

We have I reckon at least 4 good years ahead of us. Need to find a couple of KPF'
s to take care of BB and Magic, but the rest of the team is looking OK

You also can't forget Plugger's Coleman Medals in 1996 and 1998.

No - Sam Mitchell won it the year Schneider was nominated in 2003. Schneider finished 5th.

[swansrule100]

My bad. It was Bevan in Rivers' year.

I remember watching it and knowing that one of our guys was going to be somewhere in the mix , but no real chance of winning.

I think it's great to be a supporter of a side that has now gained enormous respect in the football world.
