Attention swansrule100 I think this is what you are looking for?

Great idea for a thread by the way!

 

Grundy drops the ball a lot.

And needs to change his boots.

 

Poor old reg

Remember he used to come in mostly when roosy was shitty with davis

 

Loved him as a forward, still do. Whenever he's thrown forward he manages to kick a goal or two.

 

He kind of looks like matthew scarlett

 

Melbourne based Swans supporters are much better looking than Sydney based fans.

 

ill never get liking another team

 

Yeh cos if u go for sydney you are automatically thought of as a chardy sipping person with no idea of the rules, its like hey im not a sydney based supporter

 

I've had people try to troll me by calling the Swans "South Melbourne" but I'm not from Sydney, so it's not very effective.

 

Being from Sydney, what suburbs made up the South Melbourne heartland? I've seen the thread on club heartlands, but the maps only show the current Vic teams, they don't show the traditional South Melbourne suburbs.

 

Albert Park and Port Melbourne area has a fairly strong Swans connection for memory. My parents grew up in the Clayton area, pretty sure around Noble Park was our zone at some stage.

 

South Melbourne, Albert Park, Middle Park probably even into StKilda, Port Melbourne, Garden City, StKilda Rd was a few hundred meters from Lakeside, Sth Yarra/Prahran, even the CBD.. It is the best location in Victoria for a sporting precinct and a premier football ground, its a travesty that it was South that was relocated.

 

I don't know why you would consider it a troll I am proud when someone says that.

I actually find the opposite here in Melbourne, someone asks me who I support and when I reply "Sydney Swans" they give me that look, yeah you all know that look... until I qualify it with "born and bred in South Melbourne mate" then their whole facial expression changes and you get that football supporters respect.

Victorian football supporters and their beliefs can be strange sometimes, its like a religion.

 

Are there people wandering the streets in victoria asking who everyone supports?

 

How much free merchandise do the players get? Like 2 training guernseys? Unlimited supply? Grab 50 hoodies for instance?

 

I actually thought it a normal first question here in Vic wherever you go and whoever you meet, especially from those wearing colours, a cap, a sticker whatever..

 

I found when i fly in wearing my stuff u get a lot of toots in your footy gear, but i just assumed it was the ladies

 

Because:

Troll [Thinking you're from Sydney]: "Oh, Sydney Swans? You mean South Melbourne [sneers]."

 

Ryan O'Keefe gone now? I really can't see him getting a game.

 

He would at hawthorn

 

How the frig did we lose to gws

And north for that matter

Hanners turnaround is massive amongst many others

 

We play our best Footy when we are running hard and carrying of the HB ( big part of our game ). Rohan has spent a month now in the 2s off the HB and yesterday his spoiling and defensive side to his game was good , also he has a long a very neat kick. If the leg is right and his fitness is up to running out a full game at senior level and form is worthy of selection I think he should come back in ( when ready ) as it would add even more pace and carry from our back half where we normally set up our counter attack from. I have noticed Mal has been playing off the wing this year a little more and pushing forward , so I would love to see him and mal rotating HB/wing , would cause opposition teams grief. U cant stop Mal , Rohan , Shaw , Rampe all at once even Laidler has been getting better so it could be very demerging.

 

Shaw looked tired

I think we need to be more willing to rest guys like malceski shaw etc and try a rohan off half back

Rotate mid guys out, maybe take the subs vest one week

Geelong have been masters of managing minutes
