    The game that made me a Swans supporter. Next week turned up with over 40,000 at the SCG to watch them beat Geelong....hooked for life, the obsession began

        There are many kinds of win. Wins that break a long losing streak. Or another teams long winning streak. Wins that get you into finals, or win grand finals. Wins that instill confidence in the side.

        They're all different, depending on what the win brings. What did we win today? A spot in the finals, for sure and fame as the team that broke Geelong's streak. But today, I think the team won for one another and especially for Jarrad. That's a very special kind of win.

          Really looking forward to watching the replay. What an incredible effort it must of been.

          When's the last time a team paying $1.08 at home got rolled?

          This club never ceased to amaze me.

              This makes up for some of the heartbreak we've had this year. You earn respect with wins like this against all the odds. Couldn't be happier with the effort the boys showed today. If this win leads to us getting a home final it's importance can't be underestimated because it means in all likelihood at least two finals at year end. This experience for the younger players will be invaluable.

                I caught the dying minutes of the game on W.A. ABC. What a great result! "Exitus acta probat" The true Bloods spirit appears to have resurfaced. Let's hope the hunger and desperation is back and it doesn't require a most unfortunate event to rekindle the Spirit.

                    A few similarities. Away at what was a fortress, noone gave us a chance - but the Swan supporters had an inkling.
                    Yep. My favourite game ever for exactly the same reasons. Because the other Cat game had a brilliant Quarter only. And the WC game, we had a chance from the start. And the GF, well hell we were IN the GF.

                    I do believe somewhere in amongst the threads I predicted an Upset. I am so impressed with myself!

                      I tipped them in both of my footy tips comps - and finally won a bottle of wine from my former client who is a Geelong man - I have stocked his wine rack for the last 4 years- finally I get one back. He texted me from Kardinia Park after the Siren "RED OR WHITE" - I just said "BOTH RED AND WHITE!!!"

                      I'm so excited, and I just cant hide it, I'm about to lose control.....................and I think I like it!!!
                      I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                        We're playing West Coast in the Grannie....Collingwood in the Semi...then Hawthorn in the prelim....meaning we will have beaten the entire top 4 in the last month of footy and no-one can say we "Sharked" it :-)
