I started following VFL in 1984 and chose the Swans as they had the same jumper as my local club. My Dad joined me in that. I’m very loyal.
1987 comes along and suddenly there is a Brisbane team so my Dad decided to support local. There has been a disconnect with him ever since. He got the last...
Searched for the scene in the movie The Other Sister where they said Olive juice instead
Of I love you as a friend kept
Asking why I signed off Olive Juice in my emails. Well I did this in 2006 to kill time on the day and I couldn’t find it on YouTube so always felt I caused that loss.
So found...
It’s more to me than that.
I’m a very self aware person. I pin far too much on things outside of my control. I’ve put two cuts into myself following this (nothing to be alarmed at) it’s just something I choose to do knowing it’s dumb and melodramatic.
I can’t move on and find joy elsewhere I’m...
The players get shielded from the media and have professional psychological assistance available to them.
The supporter can’t turn anywhere without having to live the shame of another flogging. Social Media, TV your workplace, your friends. Doesn’t matter you’re going to cop it.
The supporters...
No need to read I just need an outlet to offload.
Sadly I watch every Lions game even though I’ll never support them purely because of my Dad.
I deliberately didn’t post this week as I would have brought the place down as I was convinced we couldn’t cover all their runners. I was devastated...
And he has been a very consistent midfielder. His Dad hates the club.
You watch Lions and Pies who have gun father and son recruits and it makes a difference when you get a couple like that. We should have had that in Dunkley.
Guess we have the academies
Not even a moment to enjoy
Swans fans can only dream of playing a team like the Swans in the Grand Final where you can sit back relax and celebrate with everyone around you after half time or before.
How many clear short kicks to a free man did we ignore in favour of a contested down the line kick where our aerial dominance could be used.
Players who can take a contested mark should be number one on our trade list even though we won’t be very active.
The amount of money people spend travelling to these Grand Finals, braver souls than me. Can’t watch this crap. No way back and another nail in the mental side of this team.
Their link up run is bad for us as we
can’t contain it. Blazing into the 50 and again our tall forwards in a cluster.
The dread all week and of course this is the start. I allowed myself some hope after kicking the first couple really hard to watch this with my heart racing.
Come on Swans...
Biggest howler
Heeney tackle on Dew umpire 12 right there makes no call.
Inexplicable
They gave us a few questionable ones too in the end which made the umps look even more hopeless.
our turnover game won it in the end but a few Port goals converted and that early umpiring could have...
I thought Parker’s team first role on Alir was a very good move by the coaches. Didn’t need his usual contested game just needed him to make Alir more accountable and was successful for the most part.
I have chest pains actually but I always ignore those as I’m also obese with chronic sleep apnea. But I could not relax. Do you still not rate Brisbane and want to face them? I’d rather Geelong personally.
I think it started as get this guy off me and finished with pull the guy to safety. Split second stuff but the brain can definitely work that quick.
I understand your view but you can see the instant are you ok language from Buckley that seems real to me.
