[andrewjamesedmonds]

[doowopsnhooligans]

i remember this song playing in the 'G after the game:)

[lizlarkeyCP]

It was amazing tht they got in the grand final 2yrs in a row with same team

[fullmoondrivein]

@nwjanu1 Sorry for the mispelling.

[japanswan]

Another Win against West Coast (09 April 2011) - Too Bad West Coast - on your home ground

[fullmoondrivein]

I never thought I would see the Boston Red Sox win the World Series either. The Sox broke an 86 year curse in 2004 and the Sydney Swans ended 72 years of frustration in 2005. Nothing is Impossable!

[mwjanu1]

@fullmoondrivein nothing is impossable coz its not a word

[lucase6]

Great stuff go swans

[DluzN90]

o'laughlin, hall, davis and o'keefe.

[greg14781]

just shows you what guts and trust in each other can do

[erectedfuk]

sydney are the champions my friend carn the swaniessssss

[Paperbagman555]

I loved that geelong vs Sydney game... Best one i've ever been to!!! Go The Swans, will be back on top one day...

[Buddha117]

Not before the dees!!

GO MELBOURNE!

[CHUNDERTHUNDER99]

yeh...go melbourne....hahahhahaaha

[Buddha117]

haha. lol You wait. The swans next and for the next few years are gonna be where the dees WERE. melbourne are on the up and people know it

[CHUNDERTHUNDER99]

i suppose they cant get anyworse(melbourne).....swans will remain steady

[Buddha117]

Yeh your right. But you know it ;D

[aussiefirestorm]

@Buddha117 how is your season looking now buddy??

[Buddha117]

@aussiefirestorm

Was just trollin :) I actually dont mind the swans, actually think they're a very good chance to make the Grand Final. They'll smash the dogs tommorow.

And this season went ALOT better than last year for the dees thats for sure :) 8 1/2 wins plus 4 close losses to top 4 teams, so I cant complain. Plus a few highlights from the Jurrahcane :) alls good buddy.

[aussiefirestorm]

@Buddha117 yeah mate trollin is a good way to kill time. They shoulda smashed the dogs as they were in the first 1/4, then the lazy swans showed up.

Geuss it is the end of an era. Demons are on the up if the play like the did against the swans this season then they will be finalists for sure.

[Buddha117]

@aussiefirestorm

Trust me, I rarely troll. Everyone trolls once and a while. You have before, don't lie. And nah ba, against the dogs we were down by about 15/20 points at the first change, if not more.

[eeeewwwwchewb]

@Buddha117 good on ya buddha.u supported the dees over these past few miserable years and now theyre looking like a future powerhouse.support a team at their worse is true loyalty.i respect u more than most the swans fans.half the swans fan base jumped on that red n white bandwagon when they were in top form and won the grand final, then disown them when they lose.fckers they are.but good luck for 2011, hopefully stynes will inspire them to finish in the 8 and get some finals games again :) :)

[Eiraqucam]

Insane, Swans are amazing. What a season.

[SailingSwanee]

What an amazing moment, and a great team. Special thanks to all the Swans, you each played your part.

An era is now over, but you stamped your names in history. A new era is beginning with some new exciting talent. We will return to the Premiership podium within 4 years.

[Ozziguy6]

true that, all though some of our amazing legends are retiring (Mikey, Leo and Barry) and we seem to be down the ladder we will be seeing alot of new players coming in the next couple of years....just part of the cycle...within 10 years we will be back up there

[Murraj1966]

Double post i just saw Hall punch Matt Maguire again, that was horseshit, he should've been rubbed out for the Grand Final.

[Murraj1966]

I hate Andrew Demetriou, he's damn retard i swear, Gold Coast AFL im like... ok fine w/e. But there were 19 thousand people going to Sydneys home final against North last year! Why make a SECOND team in the AFL barren land of Sydney! Tassie need a team i swear!

[swans31]

Brett Kirk, Adam Goodes And Jude Bolton Hold This Team Together <3 SWANS FOR EVER

[MCspastic]

the swans will never die

[Loltube5]

Go the bloods

[oxtow]

Brett kirk you star!

[Bonning12]

inspirational stuff go swannies!

[tommyadams666]

go the swans!!!!

we dont have boring style footy at all. if youve ever seen the swans handball magic down the corridor everyone would think different. wat talent, wat passion, wat a fking ausome team. go the swannies. p.s my favourite swans moment is still nick davis' goal against the cats. "nick davis! i dont beleieve it!!! i see it, but i dont beleive it!!!!!"

[lupzkidd]

yh we only have to win everything by about 4 points

[leeroyAK]

my favorite moment too! I'll never forget that time i was pissed as but I still remember..

[japanswan]

This Season was Special. We were up against everything. The president of the AFL said we were nothing, and everyone else agreed. We must have been close to the bottom of the free kick count that season as well. That made the win extra sweet. West Coast won the next year but look at them now. Turned out they were drug cheats anyway and didn't deserve it. You other sides keep kicking it long and down the center. Ill stick with the swans so called boring style of play. We proved it works. Go Swans!

[mezbo14]

shut up asian fuck head

[uraniumdeath]

I would not use Andrew Demetriou's attack on Sydney as anything important. He is the worst CEO we'll ever have. He is a fat, brainless retard with little nous, and his entries on the Goal Coast and West Sydney will prove that, while there is a virgin state in Tasmania with no opposing codes of football, and a state screaming for a team.

2005 was the worst Grand Final I ever saw, but I certainly hope you enjoyed it.

While I dislike Sydney, it was the best thing for the state of NSW.

[Hammersley1967]

@japanswan

"The president of the AFL said we were nothing"

No he didn't...

"Turned out they were drug cheats anyway and didn't deserve it"

No they weren't...

"You other sides keep kicking it long and down the center."

No they don't...

A complete load of garbage and you got 11 thumbs up!!!

Just goes to show how little so many people know about the game...

Well, you come from NSW so what would you realistically know about the game?

[TheKirbyJohnson]

@Hammersley1967 clearly you know nothing about 'the game', or your just a wc supporter

[Hammersley1967]

@TheKirbyJohnson

BRAVO! for the most inane, piss weak comment on youtube...

CLEARLY you know nothing about the game, otherwise you would have attended to some of the point I made...

Or you're "just a Swans supporter"...

*roll eyes*

[slade900]

@japanswan drug cheats get your facts right mate people like you are dickheads we were not good coz of drugs we had guys like judd kerr cuz and cox we were called the best midfield in the comp to call us drugs cheats hurts not a single player took drugs to make them play better did they that's a drug cheat some players just turned to drugs when they were not playing footy which was wrong yes he had a drug problem but we are not drug cheats do u think drugs like coke help player play better

[sh00there]

@japanswan you're so right, it's "boring" to watch, but it requires an insane level of concentration and skill to execute. Most teams in the modern game can't kick it around like the swans do for half a minute before turning it over.

[SteveyKoz]

@japanswan

if west coast should give back their premiership for taking drugs (which lets be honest, probably make it harder to play at their best), then shouldn't the swans give theirs back for salary cap infringements??

just sayin.

[japanswan]

@SteveyKoz

Good Question - Show us any evidence that demonstrates salary cap infringement by the Swans. Never said W/Coast should give back premiership - however the main argument from Eagles supporters since 2006 is that drugs would have harmed their football effort, not helped it. This is rubbish. Take the Ben Cousins doc as an example - he was able to stay up and party for six days. Im not suggesting he took drugs before or on game day - but the fact is he shouldnt have been playing at all.

[SteveyKoz]

@japanswan

fair enough, but you did say they didn't deserve the premiership

I don't really see how partying for 6 days is going to help you win a premiership, so they really do deserve it, no matter what might have been happening off field

[japanswan]

@SteveyKoz

Fair Enough to you too. I do appreciate friendly debate and do believe there is a time for all supporters to get over a lost season. Although im not an Eagles fan, no doubt they probably had some of the best players in the AFL.

There is a new premier every year - what's important is how your premiership is remembered.

How is West Coast's premiership remembered? For Eagles fans with great pride - but for everyone else with doubt over whether rules were breached. Its a good debate!

[SteveyKoz]

@japanswan

its a real shame though that most people remember '06 as the year the druggies won the premiership

[japanswan]

@SteveyKoz

I think the majority will remember it as West Coast's year. Believe there were many quality players in the Eagles that year. I'll always be a swan, and it is natural for all supporters to debate the authenticity of a decision, a score, or a debatable situation. In the end, it was West Coast's year and the best choice now is moving on.

Cheers for the debate. Appreciate intelligent people!

[SteveyKoz]

@japanswan

Couldn't agree with you more

[9livesm]

i don't care if they beat us the year after

i don't care if people don't like us

i don't care if i never see us win it again (well i actually do haha)

i don't care that it was in 05 and now we are in 08

all that matters is ive seen us win the premiership...and i was there

nothing will ever beat that...ever

[mezbo14]

swans and eagles best rivalry ever. Iam a eagles suppoter but the swans are legends and i respect them so much

[bakesinhk]

That has to be the greatest video I have ever watched. Go the Bloods!!

[legend166]
