There is so much threads about the Grand Final and everything. It's hard to cope at the moment, but every step we take, i think the loss is getting a bit easier to handle. Anyways, enough about the GF loss before i start crying again.
Season 2006: The Reigning Premiers
It was our time, our season to defend and claim another title, and hoping to win back to back. Prove to the 'experts' thats winning the 05 flag wasn't a fluke. I mean, winning a flag is totally not a fluke at all. Anyways, season 2006. A good way to forget about the GF and reflect our season.
So many things have happened this year where we can reflect and remember. Willo retiring, many new debutants and of course the Davis controversy. This year has been great, after a very slow start and then winning it 6 times in a row and unfortunatley losing to the Ainters by 2 points in the rain. Had a major midyear slump, losing 3 of our last 4.
After the Crows game, Roos claimed we had lost our hunger to claim and defend the flag. Clearly our turning point, and we lost to WCE the week after that by 2 points. It was a great game to watch, too bad we lost but i could sense our Swans were back. After the WCE we won all our remaining games, except for the Geelong one back in round 20.
At times our forwards were terrible and were very innaccurate. We managed to tackle that problem as our Swans forwards kicked 14 goals together at the Prelim.
We had new faces in the team: Teddy Richards, Doyle and Eski. Teddy had a very slow start and was dropped for 2 games to regain his form. The first of the season he wasn't great, his form was down and couldn't make decisions under pressure. However, he turned around and has become one of our greatest tall defenders for the Swans.
Doyle, an injury prone man and managed to play 8 games in a row, injury free, Played well in the GF and kicked a handful of goals. A great second ruckman. I dont think we need Spida, but if Roosy thinks we do, then so be it.
Eski, played for the Swans for quite a long time but missed out on the GF last year. Made a deal with Macca, promised each other they'll play with all their might and hope they'll play, if, swans made it into the GF. Eski, a great left foot kicker. Deadly accurate and is a very important player in the Swans backline.
And hail to Goodesy! Won the Brownlow, his second brownlow! The best players for the Swannies this year. A great influential player! Love Goodes!
We can get a lot out of 2006. We've seen some declines in some players, and major improvements in others. Season 2006 was a great season, our Swans fought hard and played for each other. Love the Swans!
Onwards to Victory! Onwards to 2007! and bring on the Ashes! :p
What do you think were the highlights of 2006? Greatest moments? Players? and etc. It's time reflect! :) (omg, i wrote so much!)
