I fear two things not happening will mean I won't ever die happy.
They are- 1. seeing us humiliate the Hawks in a grand final like they did to us in 2014 (though seeing how riled up so many of them get about 2012 is a partial make up for it), and 2. getting revenge over the Fairypuppies for their 'AFL sanctioned fairytale Premiership' of 2016.... I get frustrated when we get the old 'bad losers' crap whenever anyone suggests that day was nothing but perfect umpiring and amazing doggies - when anyone half objective could see they got every rub of the green possible that day. Fix those two events, and I'll die a very happy man.
Though I should not complain at all about my lot - given how much forbearers that have followed our wonderful club have gone through over the past 100 years or so, I am very blessed to have seen in my 31 years only on this planet the Swans play in 6 grand finals, win 2 of them, and become an established member of the elite of the competition. Most swans fans have been nowhere near that lucky.
I'm not yet convinced about 2018 potentially seeing us go close again, but I'm starting to believe as well - get the win tomorrow night and I will definitely feel we are a real chance.
