I'm all for it providing that don't build it like the Bradman. Which is super steep but has no escalator access and no lift access from the ground. Making it extremely difficult for people with even the smallest disability to access.

The Trust agreed!

Misfiring Swans fall short of miraculous Easter comeback against Port Adelaide

Sydney had their chances, but inefficiency around the ground and in front of goal cost them on Sunday – and not for the first time this year.

This is exactly what should have happened before the weekend. Abandon a failed move forward. Anyone with a few brain cells left could see this was a total waste of time after the first two matches. But Cox had to keep pushing a dead horse. Bloody stupid. Think of what could have been if Francis played there all match. He was bloody good. Looked like a natural GF forward. Knows how to lead up to the ball. Times his leads well and takes the mark out in front of his face, does not try to chest mark.

He showed Tommy how it's done.



Swans must abandon McCartin experiment, says Cornes - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1305358

3 non-Vic teams (Bris, GWS & WCE) spent more.
(Melbourne topped the actual spend,but that incl a one-off $3.1 mill payment to Angus Brayshaw. Without which they would have dropped them below us).

Doing OK for a team that has gone from handing out free tickets in the early days in Sydney to establishing a real presence in the Harbour City and also draws the crowds on the road.
All the while reducing dependency on the AFL for 'handouts'.

I remember when you could buy a Swans Pass at the Railway Station. It included return fare to abd from the ground, buses included and entry to the game. It's a wonder they didn't throw in a pie and sauce & a free beer as the crowds were so small. I mean, we never had allocated seating or anything. We could sit where we wanted, which was between HF and wing on the fence, near the Bradman.

I remember us being three of about 30 out there. On the other side of the ground there were far more people and the Swanlets used to dance on a balcony in the stand opposite lol. Such fun. But the crowds would have been less than 10,000

The season is gone imo

Think will be 2 - 6 heading into Carlton with roughly the same side as yesterday. No one coming back in that time , McDonald maybe.

If we can't win at least one of the next 2 we are done

We have Essendon before Carlton so may even be 2-7

We used to back ourselves more

I said it after the first loss.
3 wins after 11 games & that is being generous.

Yep interesting one

history suggests he plays next week and does duck all.

But i'd rather him forward than Mccartin

 

[Punts]

This a joke?

 

[Punts]

Players joking around etc after they put up that performance?

Almost like having a laugh with the opposition after the game on the ground.

We are last 18games
W x 8

Injuries aside always take care of the basics -

Not the end of the world - second half of year should be better if we can get healthy. May be a blessing in disguise if we improve but miss the 8 and reload for next season. Next couple of months could be very tying for a number on here.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Expect to see a LOT of stuff here if we lose the next 2.

Carlton have started winning, so the press needs a new team to whip.
