Game Day 2024 GF Swans v. Lions - Saturday 28 Sep @ 2:30 @ MCG

[SwansProudly]

Bonz can you please wave your magic over this thread, please.

Dane at yesterday's press conference

“What I’ve learned over the last couple of losses I’ve had is that no one cares about your story, really,” Rampe said ...

“You’ve still got to earn it, and so both teams will be trying to do that, regardless of what’s happened in the past. It’s about tomorrow today now, and we know that you’ve still got to get out there and do your job, and you’ve got to earn it, regardless of anyone’s story leading up to it.
“The job’s got to be done. You sit here, and obviously, everyone’s not sure about how it’ll unfold, but we’ve just got to focus on that tomorrow today: doing our jobs, coming in early and ready to go. That’s all we can really focus on.”

2024 - the year of the Swan.

To all the faithful on this board, they won’t let you down. There is no more deserving a premier than perhaps the greatest Swans team of all time.

Enjoy the day, enjoy the celebration, this one’s ours.

Swans by 5 Isaac Heeneys.

Let’s do it !

Swans by 24.

Gulden to kick the first goal (for us, hopefully first of the game).

Papley for the NS.

A fine whiskey will be consumed by me regardless of the result. I’d prefer it to be celebratory, though.

My prediction is we'll finally get a comfortable Grand Final win where we're all not having heart attacks and Rampe finally holds the cup aloft in triumph.

This is my favorite prediction. Surely by now it’s our turn to have a grand final that we’re celebrating early in the 4th?

Oooh, tough call. I also follow Tottenham and they are forever a letdown.

Maybe I change to halfaletdown or thisismyonegoodteam.

I'll think about it after the game, in between the copious beers I'll be downing after we win
