On my way in, will try Union House first.
Always tip by 14 but I'm in my Joey jumper, soo Swans by 12? Maybe split the difference and make it 13 - another big day from Oli. Hmm nah Swans by 14
Either way, CARN BLOODS!!
Enjoy the day everyone
I miss Hanners so it's pretty sad news, injury ruined what could have been his peak years (albeit at another club (although maybe we wouldn't have shipped him off if his body wasn't falling apart)).
I will always remember versing him in juniors. He was literally untouchable, just came in and...
Ah no s**t. I was level 3 41 so fairly near that guy too and saw him yelling down at someone (and mouthing off the whole bloody game). Biggest f*wit, bigot too
I'd probably see this as the Schwass - Grant Cup. Dad would probably say the David Ackerly Cup, as he lived with him (jealous) just before South's move to Sydney and later his subsequent move to Norff.
After a couple of weeks at the Rising Sun, pretty sure I'll continue to enjoy watching the...
Not my cup of tea but I'm heading to the Precinct with some guys from work. Pretty good having 3 other Swans fans at work, makes us the most supported team!
If you're up for a bit of a walk, the Cherry Tree is a bit of a hidden gem in Richmond.
Got my pseudo-toastie line up of Lebanese cheese...
Flying up for this game. Pretty keen after not being able to get up there for a couple of years. Picked a good one with it now being a pretty pivotal game for our season, but also looking forward to supporting pride game with my partner who is queer.
Hoping we turn up with intensity. If I start...
On this - there was a lot of blocking off the ball and in contests. Several times Ben Brown wasn't even watching the ball! Frustrating as we seem to get pinged for those kind of things every single time.
In saying that (at least at the ground), I thought we did a pretty good job in halving...
I saw Matt lining up for dumplings at the West Coast game - he was indeed in a moon boot :(
I also saw him walking by himself from the ground after the game. Maybe he is staying with family in Geelong whilst the squad is in Melbourne ?
Blakey, Bell, Hewett, Stephens, Amartey, and Brand.
For good reason, George looked a class above the others - ultimate professional.
Stephens seemed to be enjoying some of the banter coming from a few remaining Swans fans
Mainly a lurker on here so will be lurkin at the ground. Wouldn't miss it. Guaranteed loss of voice. Gate 1 level 1. On my way for a pre-game Guinness with the old man
I must admit I always thought the wing would be the best position for him, where he could float back and intercept without having to be so accountable, but also float forward for a 55m goal.
He struggled early last season with teams trying to isolate him to force him to defend an opponent...
Not sure what to predict this game. Trusting we'll give it a good shake nonetheless.
Interested to see how our delivery and forward line deal with the Tigers 'park the bus' type defence. McLean a good in as I thought he played well on Harris Andrews and kept him accountable to detract from his...
It's only one game, in round one, and it's a long season, but wow what a way to start!
I couldn't get over how organised we were all over the ground, particularly with such a young side, when historically it feels like we're a bit of a sheetshow early each season. We just played for each other...
Add McCartin to that first group and include the probables then the two remaining spots appear to be Ling and Bell, though you'd think Stephens could replace one if fit
I thought this year they changed that and didn't have to be elevated, and are continuing it for next year as well.
Yeah:

Maximum list sizes have dropped from 47 to 44 next season, inclusive of two...
It really irritates me when the afl writers refer to the Swans academy as an NGA.
"Bid finally comes for NGA Swan"
They also did this when they had Kinnear Beatson on their countdown show. Kin rightly shut them down and corrected them.
The negligence really flies in the face of what the...
I got an email this arvo about the new logo. Just noticed an article on the Swans website is up now too.

I don't mind it but would prefer they stick with "Sydney Swans". We are not Sydney FC and even the BF board named just as "Sydney"...
Well done Lloydos. What stood out to me this year was his defensive intensity went to another level, probably more so once Ramps went down. Perhaps it was the added leadership responsibility he took on which pushed this new level. A big reason why our back six looked pretty solid by years end...
Definitely his most effective game of late. Can never question his leadership or endeavour but seemed to be trying too hard to do it all once Joey went down. Just a complete game, thoroughly deserved Kirky's medal.
Great game from the defenders too, built from last week
Geez that brings back memories of the 2015 qualifying final. Reid was looking really good up on the wing but subsequentially injured himself. Obviously he missed the following year, I always wondered what might have been
Has anyone else noticed Cunningham training with the mids? From the snippets of videos, photos, and others' training reports, it seems as though Cunningham is grouped with the other mids. I'd be interested to know where Fox has been playing, possibly he's the small defender role? (I know he's...
