bizarrely this was the one that lloyd gave florent a clip for.
it may well be that florent was responsible for lohrmann's other goals but with that one gulden refused - straight out refused to track the run of the guy standing next to him.
Completely understand the feeling. Had a dream last night that all through next season we had sell out games all year but the fans protested the lack of fight in the GF by refusing to cheer or yell, simply clapped goals politely. I don't actually mind the idea if nothing is done.

Yes.
You really need to make the most of these rich continuous periods of form and being near the top of the ladder, because they may not come around again for a long time.
This century alone, Brisbane have done that, Geelong have, Hawthorn have and Richmond have (in terms of multiple flags). The Swans, from 2014 at least, haven't.
The real risk is not capitalizing, then heading down the ladder for an extended period (quite possible in the modern, equalized competition) and looking back with real regret on the wasted opportunities.
And heading down the ladder and not being near it can happen to anyone. Best example in recent times in Carlton - if you had said to a Blues fan in 99 that 25 years later they wouldn't have reached another GF, they would have thought you were mad.
With this team the Swans currently have, they must make a Grand Final and win it for this extended period of ladder success not to be viewed in hindsight as a waste.

That's what the 'happy clapper' element of our fan base does already lol. The same ones 3 minutes after the final siren on facebook were already berating anyone that dare criticise anything ha!

What about someone like Rohan who was complete horseshit for us in grand finals , even he got a flag elsewhere, surely that motivates the boys

You’d think so, huh?
The question is, are you an old looking 34 or is she a young looking 34? I'm sure your partner would be stoked if it's the latter.This might make you feel a bit better. I'm 34 and my partner is actually 9 months older than me. About a year ago she and I went to a radiology appointment for her.
The Xray technician or whatever you call him guy asked if I was her father...

Using your convenient starting point of 2005 (our first flag in forever), it's better than 10 teams (I'm not including GWS and GC). You can call that being "right" if you want, but it sounds a little like accepting mediocrity to me.
Rohan, Stringer, Hipwood, Raynor, Dangerfield, Spangher. Just some of the names of spuds/shitcampaigner players that we gave flags to. They didn't win them. We just... gifted it to them

Don't know about us giving them flags , but surely Heeney goes I played with Rohan and I am ten times the player that spud is and he has a medal and I don't.
Like I just can't believe the lack of desperation from guys like Rampe Heeney Lloyd etc , do they really not know and to be premiership players. Like what was the visible desperation, didn't even see any evidence that it meant anything, they can say that it did . But from the first bounce I saw Lions running like their lives depended on it. Parker could barely move, guess being the sub and riding coat tails for a medal was sufficient. I guess winning the player of the finals was enough for Heeney and nice hair enough for Rampe
Lol Rayner playing like a pick 1 against us, elevating over or outbodying our backs... you can't make this up lol

The irony of it is that Rohan was horseshit in that GF win too.

Yeah, agreed. But we're talking about GF performances.
Worst pick 1 since Jack Watts and we made him look like a star

Yeah she doesnt look in her 30s, more like mid 20s so she can't complain, but still!

Raynor is a good player maybe not the superstar of the league but he looked dangerous all year imo
This year might be the making of him but honestly, never seen anything from him or worth.

FMD, just about everyone in my ****ing town has won a flag against my team in Mortlake. Who wants to help me move?
