Swans against The World

[Boxhead_31]

The media is already talking up how everybody is on the Bulldogs and loves them.

It's bullshit... neutrals don't give a **** apart from a few.

Yeap, damn those pesky few with a heart

Why should we feel sorry and barrack for a team that's been too weak to win a premiership in 60 years?

im sitting in awe....have the bulldogs just made a grand final without a full team to select from ?...what an effort... i mean fancy finishing 7th.. and every other team having the luxury of a full amd 100% healthy squad to choose from....and still make the grand final!!
you could almost say that the bulldogs were...were...#brave

I was quite happy for GWS to win tonight and i think Sydney will probably smash them.

 

[Go Woods]

Im quite happy the dogs made it. Imagine a GF without any interstate sides!!
We almost had our first GF full of local sides though.

Don't think so your mob were woeful last night...didn't get close.

This will be the narrative, but Sydney were the have-not, blue collar side who found success as the plucky underdogs. I would not begrudge the Dogs a win if that is how the game turns out, but Swans fans know more than anyone what this feels like for Footscray supporters.

People don't like us so they conveniently rewrite our history. We're are a foundation club, have won only 5 premierships in our history and have enjoyed our first period of sustained success since the 1930s. That's the truth of it.

All while having a CoLA that gave your club a significant advantage.

It's not the same. You know it isn't.

This is the moment I've been wanting to happen for a long time. I can't believe a team from outside the top 4 has finally made it to the grand final under the current finals system.

AMAZING!

What I love about this team is how resilient they are. The players play for each other, and definitely for their coach. HATS OFF TO YOU BEVO!

Keep that victimisation complex going

Have you actually read any threads on Bigfooty?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Not true - hard not not love the young and skilful WB.

Good to watch but again, just don't care.

Will give the result little thought or care either way.

 

[Blueboys11]

Too many head duckers at the dogs. Mclean, Hunter. Go Swans

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Go Hawthorn.

 

[The Gong]

Go Hawthorn.

We'll win this flag for you, Hawks fans. Especially with you in mind.

Yeah, I'm reading one right now titled "Swans against The World"!!!

Correlation is not causation. To call it a significant advantage is an overstated interference. Anyway, CoLA was there to redress a structural disadvantage and can you really say that the Swans had the equal opportunity to succeed as other clubs? We've also just gone through two years of a tradeban. I find it frustrating when people begrudge us our very limited success when we're a club that's struggled twice as much as anyone to survive.

Anyway, I'm not here to change anyone's mind or descend into CoLA discussions. I am proud of my club though, and our warts and all history. Good luck rewriting that.

I'm happy for the Bulldogs and their fans, but the whole "everyone loves the Bulldogs" thing does wear a bit thin and starts to become a big of a wank. I've always liked Sydney, and whilst I wouldn't be upset with a Doggies win, I'll be cheering for Sydney.

 

[Chubberson]

We are all part of one big happy competition here guys and gals. Reminds me of the time I completely covered my robot made out of a sultana bran box in alfoil, (without tearing the foil more than four or five times) I might add. Quite a few of the kindy gals made me sour sob sob sob necklaces that I was more than happy to adorn over my paining..., I mean, Painting Smock. We ate some millipedes, it was a fun time.

Geez, get the violins and tissues out ! Please spare us !

Touche! My post was firmly tongue in cheek but you may have missed that.

 

[NewMelbournian]

Interesting to see hoow Sydney go with the burden of expectations. Unlike 2005, 2006, 2012 and 2014 they are expected to win this time.

 

[Admiral Byng]

I'll be going for the Swannies.

When the discussion is about being a have-not underdog, being gifted a significant salary cap advantage rules you out being categorised in that way. Regardless of the impossibility of proving causation.

Anyway, I also don't want to descend into a CoLA shitfight. It was replaced as it was agreed that it was unfair on the rest of the comp. No need to dig that one up again.

Let's agree to disagree about the parallels between the 2016 dogs (if they win) and the 2005- swans.

This will be the 6th grand final I attend and asides from seeing one premiership for my side in 2006 Sydney or Hawks have won the rest. Want to see something different for a change.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Bulldogs and Swans, which set of fans have the bigger persecution complex?

Well that's the first I've heard of that one.

 

[Troystenvic]

Stay classy Hedgehodgy. It's great posters like you that have made Hawthorn supporters so universally admired on Bigfooty. Give me a hug, big guy!

He is a deadset muppett
