Why do YOU support the Swans?

And an early post in that thread refers to an earlier thread ending 2011.

What's that saying about forgetting history and being doomed to repeat it Just kidding, probably worth a refresh every few years, for the newer members.

Thanks mate.

Wonder what happened to it.

My dad grew up and worked in South Melbourne and he passed his passion for the club to me. (Which is lucky for him because my brother switched to supporting Geelong).

I was very young when the Swans moved to Sydney so didn't appreciate the enormity of what it meant for the club to relocate. My dad still supported them and said the only thing that would make him turn his back on the club was if they changed their colours.

My dad always joked that he would win tattslotto before the Swans won a premiership. After 72 years he finally got to see a premiership. I'll never forget the feeling when we realised we had won when we saw Kennelly jump on Leo Barry. The noise was loud that we didn't hear the siren.
