      You need to build a bridge in regards to Kenny (and Hatley for that matter).

      You've been putting the boot into those two for years both here and on BF.

        no bridge needed, they are the same as most of us but think they are better than the rest of us.

          Having met Peter Hatley for the first time at Magic's 300th game, I certainly can't see where you're going with this one.
          And myself and my grandfather (life long Swans both of us) met Kenny the day after the 2006 grand final and had a good conversation then too.

          I'd have to say Kenny bashers are jealous (and some non-Kenny bashers too )

              How do these massive supporters show they think they're better than the rest of us?? Love 'em!

                Too over the top those two, maybe Kenny is worse.
                When we win do you want to see the players sing the song or a fellow who thinks its about him.

                  I think these two are great, they shown genuine passion and loyalty to our club.
                  Since moving to Sydney in 09' i haven't experienced much of that from the supporters i sit around. Half of them in my bay never turn up on time(some turn up at 3 qtr time), explaining rules to their mate(which are usually wrong anyway) and look at me as if ive commited a crime if i get a bit vocal.
                  Ive found it more enjoyable watching swans games in Melbourne because the fans down there seem to know what they're following.
                  Maybe i've been harsh? hope the new seats i have this year will be around people that show a bit of passion.

                      Just in the Brewongle would do, if you want to experience that

                      177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

                            Hear, Hear. I happen to know Hatley personally and he is a great bloke. As for Kenny I've met him a few times and he has never come across as thinking he is better than anyone else. These two guys are just extremely passionate supporters and I applaud them for for it.

                            Now, Back to the original theme, I'm in the middle of reading "In The Blood" ATM and am finding it fascinating. I'm learning so much about the club that I was unaware of before, like I didn't realise Denis Pagan played two seasons for the Swans in the mid 70s.
                            I think JimMain has done a fantastic job putting this book together.

                                Yes, it's just a shame he's got skin as thick as tissue paper. His diatribe against Wardy was as inaccurate as it was petty.
