Sydney Swans: kicking it long's for pussies

I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time -

Apologies to us.....only Kirky could get away with that!
We know how we feel, its getting that oneness out there that's difficult isn't it. We don't appear to have seriously crap elements in the crowd. You can always pick the Members as they get up and wander about looking for beer during play, (they don't get it). So we don't have to worry about "elements" giving the Swans a bad name (colligwood comes to mind)
Hmmm, how do you get tht feeling of collective breathing into a slogan. Marketing tried with the hijacked Sydney chant last year, they didn't understand our ownership of it and why it exists only as Moments in Time, so that fell flat. I found the posters etc somewhat "elitest" instead of being inclusive.
Focussing principally on Barry Hall was good fun to start with, but that came unstuck when he came unstuck. You can't give a club just one figurehead, I don't believe. It is a collective after all.
The best campaign was the Swannee song and collective adds back in the 1996-98 time frame. The song has energy and puts a smile on your face - How I love you how I love you...... The professor explaining a Swan in flight actually was hilarous. You want something to make you feel proud, and to make anyone outside our world want entry. I'd like to see that, again.
Way too late now, its mid January!Last edited by Primmy; 13 January 2011, 09:04 AM.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

The way the team plays makes me proud and is the envy of most other teams. However that's preaching to the converted I guess.Comment

Why would someone buy a membership they don't use?? Because they want to give more money to the club?? I'm saying that's crap. And if it isn't, your either and you really are the sort of person that is that benevolent to the club, ring them up, they'll give you the address to which you can send a cheque. I'd bet they'd even have a direct deposit account set up for just this sort of thing. But don't get on a forum and spruik about how much you give to the club. That's not benevolence, that's obnoxious and more than a little stupid.Last edited by reigning premier; 19 January 2011, 09:38 PM.Comment

I find this to be one of the most bizarre rants I have ever read on RWO. I can't fathom why you or anyone else would waste any energy on why I do or do not use some of the ancillary parts of the package I choose to buy. The comment was made in the context of a discussion about the value we place on those little extra bits that they throw into membership packages, and whether people would find a membership more valuable if there were more bits and pieces thrown in. I expressed my own personal opinion - which is kinda what people do on RWO.
If you're spoiling for a fight with someone, I suggest you try elsewhere.Comment

Bizarre would be "buying" a Redback membership and then not using the benefits that come with the membership under the auspices of wanting to give more money to the club. Seriously, that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, or a load of crap. I'm going with the load of crap theory.Comment

I think whatever Liz decides to do is her business.
If she decides to tell us that business, it still does not open her or her decision to abuse.
I am disappointed in RP"s response,.Comment

I upped my membership from a family to Redback this year so I could get all the extra benefits.
And kept the other three memberships in the family pack.
That's four to each game ... heaps of extra stuff for the little people (read: me) ... and new footballs for the club.
Everyone wins.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment
