"Who you playing this weekend?"

"The swans"

"ooh, the swans are badass"

"Yeah, badass swans"

Go Swans!


Swans is an effed up word when you look at it too many times.

You should see the mascot. It looks like a duck.

If it looks like a duck, and acts like a duck, and tastes like a duck...

...it plays for the Swans.   ;D

They used to be nicknamed 'The bloods' during the 30s.

May be time for a name change if they win.

It was great to watch a grandfinal that was close fought right to the end.  Always better with a nice cold beer.

I just hope the Dockers show some courage in 2006

Yeah well done Swans, it's taken them a long time to win that flag.

I think it might be a while before my team "The Power" win their next one, I think we might struggle for the next few years.

cdbrown, it must be frustrating to be Freo supporter, am I right they've only made the finals once and they got knocked out straight away?

Anyway there's always next year for the losers.

Yes it is very frustrating, and they've only been in the finals once, it was a home final and we got belted by Essendon I think.  The most frustrating part is the selectors and all the crap trades they have done to try and lure old hacks (that are on the verge of retiring).  One stupid year we had the top pick and I think they traded it away to get Trent Croad - that year West Coast got Chris Judd.  And the wise coaching team decided Croad would be a good full forward.  Well he's doing great back in Hawthorn and we have nothing to show for it. 

Anyway there's always next year for Freo to lose again.
