We won by two points with winning score of four goals. Was the flood on? Whatever the clowns running the club decide to do any victory against the Crims should be celebrated by all with a rough red, glasses raised and a warm inner glow.
    God love ya Conn's but you really do have far too much time on your hands!

      Do you think in the 40's and 50's they were all lamenting how the game wasnt being played the same as thirty years ago.

          Wouldn't it be a nice touch if they wore a replica jumper of the one they wore during the 1909 GF?

            That would be great. I would buy one if they had them available.
            Does God believe in Atheists?

              Great to see the Swans will be wearing the 1909 strip!

                        My house turns 100 in a few months. Just think I could have had QBE insurance for house and contents and buggy and been on the website for what I have done for the Swans...."I've been insured with QBE for 100 years"

                          Gee, I didn't realise you were of that era.
                          You are holding up well.

                          They had one on display at the 5 yr thing the other night.
                          They said the weren't sure which way the stripe will run.

                            satch - next time I see Franky O in the box (and after I have had a few of the complimentary beverages) I will tell him of your centenary and that QBE should spring for a years free premiums for you!!! leave with me......

                              Doesn't really matter. It was up to the players to put the Sash on themselves and as a result we had a mix of sashes going in different directions across the body.

                              So either way is historically correct.

                                I think the sash should go the opposite way to the way the Richmond/Essendon sash goes. For no other reason than it should be different.
                                Does God believe in Atheists?
