    I think I found it here: Nine Things We Learned
    I think it’s our past five games that they didn’t learn anything
    'Delicious' is a fun word to say

      Even when we were goalless at quarter time I still thought we’d win

      This is the best swans team I’ve seen in 30 years of watching them by a significant margin

      The premiership is ours to lose

        Since our statement win against the Giants it’s been about our opposition every game. Can’t remember what they wrote after the Suns match, but after the Eagles it was all about Harley Reid. You’d almost think it was on purpose. Whatever, it is laughable.

          Last eight, I’d say.

            This has been one of the best wins in recent memory!

            We were all at sea in the first 40 minutes and looked like we had no answers to a well coached, experienced, and mature team.

            But then we just appeared to flick a switch and have been fantastic and mostly dominant for the remainder of the match!

            Do I dare to dream???

            Go Bloods!

            I thought you went a tad early with the "Horse is being outcoached" thing but you rode the rollercoaster and gleefully celebrated the many highs that our boys produced after quarter time!

            Love your passion and, yes, dare to dream!

            GO BLOODS!

                Thank goodness we bucked the trend - we're the only winner I've picked so far!

                      Yeah, my tips stand at 2 out of 6 so far. Picked us and Brisbane, my only correct tips.

                        Wow. Was there today. That first quarter, what a shocker. Who thought we could beat Geelong in the air? they played really well and were well coached, but I just think we have so many talented players- and how good is Gulden? he was everywhere, I mean one minute in the backline and 30 seconds later kicking for goal. He is the complete footballer. The people next to me are big on Jordan, they think he's a find.
                        Anyway, I have a very sore throat, but feel very satisfied with our performance today. Great to see us come back and win like tha.

                            A real statement win today. We don't want to form a habit of giving good teams a bit head start, but this team has a calmness about it - it just finds a way to dig in, even it up, and then we find a moment to ignite, and off we go.

                            Amazing atmosphere at a jammed SCG - the bandwagon is well stocked already, but why wouldn't it be! It is truly becoming a fortress again, and spare seats are going to be very hard to find from here.

                            Our best footy is sensational to watch, and arguably a long way in front of the next best in the league at this point.

                            A long, long way to go - but if our list stays fit, then the only thing that would be acceptable from here is a premiership. You need luck to win a flag, but the best footy of this team is something else - and I'm yet to see the genuine contender emerge that can go with us for long enough if we play near our best.

                              As for players - I thought Grundy was absolutely sensational from quarter time onwards, Gulden is so fit Geelong had noone that could get near him in the 4th (my favourite moment was that cracking right foot round the corner onto the chest 40 metres away), and all the usual suspects (Warner, Rowy, Heeney) made but moments count.

                              Shout out for McDonald - it isn't quite working for him as a traditional full forward yet, but he keeps finding a way to contribute in big moments.

                              And even with a few not at their best, plenty others lifted. We are a whack a mole team - problem being other teams don't have enough hammers to hit them all.

                                AFL are so against us, that they have not updated our wins tally, but they have put Carlton up four points as a live ladder result, so we are not showing as 10 points ahead of the next team.
