What an epic achievement. It's still not sunk in that we've actually managed to win the premiership.
91 points is our highest score ever in a Grand Final.
10 points is, as Goodes said in jest, a "blowout". It is our second-biggest winning margin in a Grand Final and the most one-sided Grand Final that Goodes has played in.
Smashing hoodoos to win and even just to get there.
Adelaide: 14 games, 2 wins.
Collingwood: 11 games, 11 losses.
MCG: 15 games for 1 win and 1 draw.
Win. Win! WIN!!
Goodes tore his PCL, had the trainers make a new PCL made out of lots of firm bandages and played out the game without painkillers.
We've now got five dual premiership players and five premierships.
There's an eerie similarity with Geelong's results in Grand Finals.
Geelong: WLLLLLWLWW (1963, 67, 89, 92, 94, 95, 2007, 08, 09, 11)
Sydney: WLLLLLWLW (1933, 34, 35, 36, 45, 96, 2005, 06, 12)
If this pattern holds, we will win the next Grand Final we play in."Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi finalComment

Awesome game yesterday. Just awesome. We have spent the day driving up the Hume beeping and waving at other Swans-decked cars. I love all my boys. So proud of all the young kids in particular and stoked for the guys that played in 06. I dont think i have stopped smiling
It's going to be hard to fly under the radar next year when we go back to back. I love this club.
Am i the only one who was more worried in the third quarter than the fourth? They had that building feeling in the last and i knew they could do it.

Welllllll - if by 'rejuvenated' you mean 'managed not to vomit', yes. A few of the lads looked like they were on the last legs of a well-deserved celebration (or still in the midst of it). Good on 'em. Mummy in his turned-up collar, fancy trousers, and too-big, oh-gawd-that-shining-ball-in-sky-hurts-me Lou Reed sunglasses just staring off into the SCG in particular was brilliant.Comment

Big tick to the AFL for the after match on the MCG. Was lucky enough to get a ticket to be on the MCG and celebrate the win. It was a terrific intiitive and one that was well received by everyone. I have a photo of me kissing the MCG turf on the way out and pinched pinched some grass from the hollowed ground.
Bought the Premiership posters and T-Shirt on the way out and then caught a tram into the city. The tram broke out into a version of Cheer Cheer which was approximately the 764th time that I sung that song - Shake down the Thunder? You bloody betcha we did...And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style.

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
