The thing I notice here is that our defence is improving this year, scores against are getting lower, the stuff premierships are made of

Not quite correct with 2008, lost Round 1 to the Saints. Looking at this season's draw, I really believe the Swans have chance to match if not beat that 1932 record.

PS 1932 was the year of an Olympic Games that was held in an English speaking city (witness LA 1932/London 2012), and the year of a US Presidential Election that took place during times of economic crisis in the United States(as is 2012)

Is that the sound of some kind of bow being drawn, Perhaps a long one ?

Quite right. I've removed 2008. Must've been seeing things.
Thanks

1935 we lost Rnd 1, then won the next 12.
