Hello everyone. I'm a long-time lurker on this site. It's a sad day today, but that's a catalyst to stick my head out of the trench and start participating on the site.
1. Where are you from? Western Sydney
2. Why did you start supporting the Swans? 5 years living in Melbourne in the late 80's/early 90's exposed me to AFL. I realised AFL was a way better sport to follow than Rugby League. It was logical to follow the team from my home town, even though they were absolutely s**t in those years.
3. How long have you been supporting the Swans? Since 1988
4. Favourite players (current)? Chad Warner and Callum Mills
5. Favourite players (all time)? Paul Kelly and Adam Goodes
6. Favourite Swans memories? Behind the goals at the Randwick end in the 2005 PF against Geelong, with my son and his mate. Seconds to go, Swans just behind, right in front of us Ball taps it down to Davis, who throws it on his boot....
7. Where were you for the 2005 GF? At home going crazy when Leo Barry takes the mark which saved the flag.
8. Favourite piece of Swans memorabilia that you own? Programmes from games in the late 90's and early 00's, when I went to games with my kids and my late dad.
Don't feel down! We've got a great culture and a talented young squad. The next few years are going to be a lot of fun!

G'day every one my names Zane my friends call me Zaneo. Much like Evets long time lurker first time poster. I thought I would finally take the plunge and join up as I enjoy so much of the extremely insighful takes and there's nothing I enjoy more the learning from those with great insights and knowledgeable ESPECIALLY when it comes to all things swans.
Hopefully administration allows this I'm being a bit lazy instead of answering the questions I recently did an interview with an awesome swans supporter from the states in which I actually answered alot of them there.
Look forward to meeting you all

1) Where are you from - Williamstown
2) Why did you start supporting the Swans - Genetic, my father supported South Melbourne. I remember I came home from school one day in 1969 after Peter Hudson had visited my school as a representative of the State Savings Bank and I asked Dad who my football team was. He said "you barrack for the Bloods".

4. Favourite players (current)? - Tom Hickey, Chad Warner.
5. Favourite players (all time)? - Bobby Skilton, Troy Luff.
6. Favourite Swans memories? - 1) 2005 Premiership; 2) Malceski's last quarter goal in the 2012 Grand Final. 3) 1996 Preliminary Final (if you weren't there you couldn't know how crazy the crowd went after the game); 4) Plugger's 16 goals at the Western Oval against Fitzroy (Myself and my father were two of the few there).
7. Where were you for the 2005 GF? - MCC Members directly below the TV cameras (what you saw on TV was my viewpoint too). Sneaked in to the members on someone else's card!!!
8. Favourite piece of Swans memorabilia that you own? - I have a South Melbourne tie I was awarded as best on the ground playing for South Melbourne's Little League in a game against Essendon at Windy Hill in 1972.

Welcome!
Always great to see a new poster who appreciates the history of the club AND the great Luffy!
So I'm also new here, and before I start causing controversy on the forums with my opinions, I thought I'd better start off and introduce myself properly and get the niceties out the way. I'm a long time supporter, I love the Swans, but I'm not afraid to say when I think they are doing something wrong, despite the fact I know I'm a couch coach. It's not an easy game to coach or be a part of, but my passion gets the better of me sometimes. But no matter what I say or think, I'll always love them and support them, and go/watch them every week I can, which gets harder now that I have kids, but I'm slowly brainwashing them
To answer the questions:
1. Where are you from?
Born and bred in Melbourne, with stints in Newcastle, Sydney, St Andrews, Whistler and Vancouver. But all settled in Melbourne now.
2. Why did you start supporting the Swans?
I was living in Sydney in 1996 and when we made the GF my friends started talking about it so I got slightly interested, however, it was when I moved to Melbourne in 1998 as a 15 year old, I realised the easiest way to make friends was to learn about footy, so, coming from Sydney, I chose them, and the rest is history!
3. How long have you been supporting the Swans?
Since 1996, but properly since 1998
4. Favourite players (current)?
Chad Warner and Tom Papley. Buddy was there, but I think he went a year too long personally.
5. Favourite players (all time)?
Buddy, Goodesy, Mickey O, Plugger and Paul Kelly
6. Favourite Swans memories?
Sitting behind the winning goals at the 2012 GF in a group of Swans supports who I had never met before. When that goal went through, I loved watching all the Hawks supporters slumping down, and hugging randoms all around me knowing we had won!
Also, training/brainwashing my 2yo daughter to cheer when I say Swannies, and boo when I say Blues (my wife's team)
7. Where were you for the 2005 GF?
Living in Vancouver watching the game at an Aussie pub there at 9:30pm on the Friday night, getting very drunk and teaching Canadians about footy. When Leo took that mark, I just stopped drinking until I saw them all jump on each other!
8. Favourite piece of Swans memorabilia that you own?
I have the full collection of the WEG posts for all our GF wins, as well as my ticket from 2012
Looking forward to plenty of lively debates, and as always, go Swannies!
