Well... That's a great big scruffy beard of a win. If you know you know.

We're still at a loss to explain what's happening. The malaise can be tracked back to halftime against the Giants, but is there more to the Wicks incident? Divisions have definitely grown since.

We don't know why Mills is playing, he's not close to match fit. If Parker isn't fit enough to play a full game, stop picking him as a sub. Heeney? He must have broken his hand to be playing so poorly. Warner's getting tagged out of every game, teams have gone to town on James Jordon and the defence is a mess.

The defenders have always relied on elite pressure up the ground. With it missing, the torch is shining brightly on their inability to win one-on-ones.

That was one of Sydney's all-time bad performances. It was a throw back to the end of Paul Roos days when half the games were over at halftime because they couldn't kick more than 1 goal.

Given the last 2 results, finishing as low as 6th is a real possibility.

03/08/2024

Well that's it for season 2024. Finals for sure but not the last Saturday in September.

Just terrible.

Worse than Geelong '22 & '23

07/07/2024

Garbage

22/06/2024

Up by 60 and the commentators still think Tom Green should be tagged

22/06/2024

HT: 40 points?!? When did that happen? 😱

Hayward extends for 5️⃣ years!

Stick that up ya Carlton.

Sydney Swans forward Will Hayward has signed a long-term contract extension until at least the end of 2029.

Does Chad need a gofundme?

Free to play!

Well, at least we get Mills back soon after the bye.

117 - 65

Montagna eat your heart out 🍔

Another cracking win! 9 from 10 for the first time since 1945 👌

16/05/2024

Thursday night useless stats

Before tonight's game, the total goals kicked from the top 6 scores of each team are:

Sydney 90
Giants 90
Geelong 87
Carlton 86
Bulldogs 85
Adelaide 72
Melbourne 69
Port 69

Sydney will be fine with McDonald, Amartey & McLean.

The AFL appears to be cooling on the idea of independent doctors at football matches to assess and diagnose concussions, despite committing to them in their submission to the Victorian Coroner in March.

The idea of assessing and diagnosing concussions appears to be rather fluid.

Tom McCartin to miss another week. What a shame, he has having a red hot season. Life after footy matters more. If we get him back on the field again it's a huge bonus, but for now Sydney will have to do it without him .

We wish Tom the best in his recovery and hope to see him play for the Swans again.

Swans defender to miss again, no guarantees for gun -

The Swans will be without Tom McCartin for their huge clash against the Blues

"Leigh Montagna is anticipating a downfall for Sydney this year, citing John Longmire’s side won two of its 10 games against top-eight teams last year".

“I’ve got them just out of the eight. This is the one that could backfire on me and might get used against me later in the year.”

A self fulfilling prophecy. He really goes hard on Swans bashing when he gets the chance. It's always the other team that lost, never the Swans.

Freo were inspirational on Friday night but couldn't stick it through the big target. There won't be a lick of complimentary commentary about the Swans, it'll be how Freo dealt with tragedy and kicked themselves out of the game.

He barely moved the needle when the Hawks and Giants were easily dealt with.

‘This could backfire’: Shock 2024 call on Swans… and why expert could be left with ‘egg on my face’

Oomph! Thud! The sound of the Greater Western Giants falling on their collective backsides.

Big win by the Swans today! Top of the ladder and flogged the "premiership favourites". Hopefully that shuts Fatagna up.

Great win from the Harlem Globetrotters, sliding into 2nd 👌

20/04/2024

🤯😱 Anyone else struggling with tips this weekend?

06/04/2024

We got the win.

What a way to start the year. A warm, windy afternoon in Adelaide couldn't blow away positive fans vibes as the Swans' banked win number four into the first of two byes for the season.

Time for Amartey to find form in the magoos

It's not often I'm compelled to write about opposition players and opposition teams outside of the context of games against them.

Last night was unfortunately another disappointing night for Ash Johnson on the field, but off the field it was appalling. His own supporter base and OTHER AFL fans harassed him and bashed him so much that he deleted his socials.

We've seen the same thing happen with our own fans and players down on form. Mental Health is no joke. Even though he's not with the club, as supporters of AFL we should rally around when disgusting behaviour threatens them.

It definitely isn't supported or condoned on these forums, and one would hope in other locations, but I'd be lying if the other Swans groups and main page isn't littered with gobsmacking rubbish.

If you can't help but stick the fork in someone after a few mistakes, imagine doing that to your loved ones and those closest. We've always taken a light and humorous approach at the blog. I would hope that after the boys pulled off a spectacular performance, NONE OF OUR FANS, especially on the blog, participated in his harassment.

According to Charlie Gardiner, offering Aaron Naughton 11mil over 9 years was a legit offer.

We didn't even offer Franklin 11mil.
