It's great to know that you can still feel the history of South Melbourne in the Sydney Swans. If North do move to Sydney, hopefully they'll take on board the lessons that the Swans learned in the years after their move.
I do know many of the old South Melbourne fans who left the club, then came back during the '96 season (oddly, many of them didn't go during those two years in the '80s where you made the finals and Capper had those shorts) and have remained passionate ever since. And they do make the most of the games that the Swans play in Melbourne. Your comments about keeping South's history and Roylions comments about Fitzroy and Brisbane make a possible North move to Sydney a less, um, scary proposition. But as I said before, anything that I think I'd do is theoretical. I wouldn't know which way I'd jump until someone does say, "North Melbourne are moving to Sydney".
Anyway, I hope you're right about Carey having plenty of time to rest before Sunday's game. The team is starting to look less and less experienced every week ;-)
Cheers
