We exist for fairytale finishes
I am tired of being the other side of someone else's fairytale
Sydney Swans Grand Final Charity Foundation
Don't the players just love playing in front of nobody at Homebush? Geeze another stampede out.
Can the AFL not give away 3000 pair tickets a game to junior footy players every week or do they do that, and nobody even bothers to turn up on a freebie?
You'd think another 4500 fans (accounting for no-shows) up in the cheap seats might at least slowly build a following, and some kind of atmosphere the players can feed off.

Andrew Dunkley wanted to play on in 2003 but the Swans didn’t offer him a new contract. He would have been 35 etc. I think he wanted a job with the club as a welfare officer after retiring but we didn’t give him one. Clubs don’t lend money to ex players (Swans didn’t have money).
Josh Dunkley nominated the Swans under the father son scheme. We didn’t match the Bulldogs bid.

We were Dunkley's 11th choice as we agreed only to match if it was a non-Vic club who bidAndrew Dunkley wanted to play on in 2003 but the Swans didn’t offer him a new contract.

That was the rumour at the time because West Coast showed some interest. He’d rather stay on the east coast of Australia. So nominated us as a safety net.
We either should have drafted Dunkley, or stayed out of it altogether.
I don't understand why we would agree to play silly buggers with Andrew and only match a bid according to his preferences.
My opinion at the time is that we should have drafted him. He was 17 and obviously being influenced by his dad. Josh has since shown that he values a strong club culture. The club should have backed themselves.

It's all in the past i couldn't care less as it's all hearsay

Chosen One
I didn't care so much at the time but the problem is Dunkley is the type of player we really miss.
Imagine somehow having him and Dawson in the side . Geez even a bit of Nankervis would be handy at times, Aliir , Mitchell

Cameron will end up being a worse decision than letting Nank go!!
I don't worry about it , as nothing we could do now.
The Umps and Horse cost us in 16

I occasionally think wow if 4 days went differently and Horse wins every grand final we are a ****ing powerhouse
We are.
Sadly going out for lunch , so will miss your milestone
If this was the EPL Horse would be considered one of the greatest coaches of all time up there with Pep

Yep, but unfortunately they didn't go differently so the only thing we are powerhouses in is choking

It’s regrettable we didn’t get Josh - he would have put the lid on Rayner or Ah Chee.
His nomination came very late and only sheet Adelaide and West Coast's interest became known.
lol @ Horse wins every grand final.
Horse is effectively all of the other skaters who fell over in front of Stephen Bradbury.

Are Hawthorn signing Barrass and Battle? Very nice of them. I've always been a big fan of having a strong defence above all and think they are doing very well for themselves there.
I fear they will win their next flag before we do.
