We might have been the best in 2014/16/17 but we have nothing to show for it.
The worst thing is that is was our own fault that we ended up with nothing to show for otherwise successful seasons.
But hindsight is wonderful.
We are incredibly spoilt as Swans fans that our team plays finals every year and have, more often than not, been genuine flag contenders during that time.
There will be lean times in the future and i reckon in 20 or 30 years time, people will generally look back at the Roos/Longmire era and be genuinely satisfied with what we have achieved, premierships or not.
