    Best Swans Logo?

    I like the latest one but I have a lot of old South memorabillia with the old logo on it which brings back some great memories. The only problem with the old one is that it looks like Monty Burns.

    1, 1970 South V Collingwood Lake Oval 17 points down in time on and kicked 3 goals to win by a point. When we hit the front the crowd just ran onto the ground and the siren hadn't even rung.

    List Mgmt. 2016 Draft, Trades and Retirements Thread

    Mitch Clark no thanks, but he has played more games than AJ in 4 years and most people keep picking him in our 22 at some stage next year.

    Best 22 for the start of 2017?

    I think we need to look at Grundy and Smith they will be in our starting 18 come the start of the year but I think they may be struggling come years end. The statues around the MCG move quicker than these two and their disposals are slow and rarely hit the targets.

    Competitions Offseason anyone bored enough to play a game?

    Anyone that saw South play in the 70's especially the 1970 match against Collingwood at the Lake oval (still my favorite game) would know a perfect forward pocket who played over 100 games.

    Competitions Offseason anyone bored enough to play a game?

    I don't generally write on these sites but reading this I can't believe that a player that Bob Skilton thought was the most brilliant player he played with at South hasn't been mentioned, this player would have been a certainty in our team of the century had he played enough games to qualify...

    Injury Ryan O'Keefe out for 3-4 weeks

    We have a history of under performing when where expected to win. We also don't kick a lot of goals so the oppositition are always a chance to beat us. So I don't think we can ever be 100% certain of winning.
