Welcome!Hi all, I thought I should finally do this.
Been lurking for a few years and finally posted back at trade period, I'm not very active but always reading most threads. Being a swans fanatic I enjoy following the discussions and am grateful to stumble across the community.
Kudos to all the mods and the regular posters, your commitment is appreciated.
1. Where are you from?
Born and raised in Wagga. Now living on the Sunshine Coast.
2. Why did you start supporting the Swans?
By chance as a 3 yr old I was drawn to the colours and have been supporting ever since.
3. How long have you been supporting the Swans?
30 years
4. Favourite players (current)?
Mills is the standout. I love his toughness, courage, temperament and footy IQ. I think he embodies what the bloods are about.
Super excited about Errol the Turk and 'theChad'
5. Favourite players (all time)?
Paul Kelly and Tony Lockett are my childhood hero's. Brett Kirk and Adam Goodes are hard to go past and I also loved LRT what a warrior.
6.Favourite Swans memories?
Premierships obviously in a class of their own.
I was at the Nick Davis miracle game, the atmosphere in the 4th and post match is something I'll never forget.
School clinic's and other random signing events as a young fella were amazing.
More recently the win over the Giants when all staff belted out the song. The emotions and connectedness on display there was a proud to be a supporter type moment.
7.Where were you for the 2005 GF?
At a friend's place for a massive GF BBQ party. Under-age drinking having a wow of a time. Celebrations were epic for a bunch of 15/16 yr olds anyway.
8. Favourite piece of Swans memorabilia
Framed signed photo and accompanying newspaper article of myself with Plugger and Kelly. Hard to beat that experience as a child, great memory.
If there are any Sunny Coasters here please reach out. I would be keen to have a beer and watch /talk footy.
Cheer cheer!
