      We are not Fitzroy by a long shot - but it should make the dimwits at AFL house to reconsider a second team here (which initially I was all for it - but now I'm not so convinced its needed - Tassie should have got a chance)
      I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

        I loved it. I love very much the "Sydney chant" and got it started a bit in the Cheer Squad.
        Good on the cheer squad for chants and we have also had a great time making and preparing banners for the year.

        Hard work but certainly great when you see the guys play and it is always good to give something back when you receive something.

        Great atmostphere

        Cant go to game this week due to being Polling Place Manager in Sydney.
        Daughter going instead.

        Will save money earned for the grand final.

        Loved the way Goodes kissed his armbands after he shot the goal to say that is for you - for Mr Brain previous timekeeper who passed away.
        Love those Swans

Even so I wasnt going to cancel my plans just to appease supporters of a football team that I happen to follow.

          I understand all that Wardy but you would reckon that from the biggest city in Australia we could have gotten 35/40000 to an Sydney Swans home final.

          Melbourne Storm even got 14000 to the game on Sunday night.


          BTW...3 Times in a row for the minor premiership for the STORM.
          Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

            Nah its going to be the year of the Shark - Up up Cronulla the boys in the Black white and Blue!!!! (nieces hubby is the club physio) although I'm really a St George girl!!!

            I really think that economics played a huge part for some up here - plus the weather didnt help - poor excuses - but I guess its a sign of the times.

              Anyone remember that David Wirrpunder had to be hunted down on a fishing trip to get to that game at age 17, because the Wiggles were short of players... One of my all time favourite games. We Swanny supporters became a single unit perhaps for the first time ever. Distinctly remember being soaked to the bone and loving it.
