In the second line "Honour the name by day and by night" what is the 'name' that is meant to be honoured - there is no mention of it in the first line - the club name is not Red and White? These words are presumably just left over from the words of the chorus in the original song "Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame, Wake up the echoes cheering her name."

Considering we do not mention the name at that point I would rather we sang "Honour the club by day and by night."

Any thoughts? ]]> RWO Swans Chat Matty10 http://www.redandwhiteonline.com/forum/showthread.php/31756-Club-Song http://www.redandwhiteonline.com/forum/showthread.php/31755-Swans-Twitter?goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:10:11 GMT sydneyswans: What the fans asked Mummy: Take a look at what the fans asked Shane Mumford in "Ask a Swan" this week... http://bit.ly/bTttWo

Who falls into that category for us? Who is possible/likely to go?

Sounds like the perfect chance to aim for a PF against the Saints. But, at the risk of channelling Roos, how many years do we go by the form in the first week of finals and decide that this will be the year of teams 5-8 only to watch it crash down in finals week 2?

Before the weekend I gave us a 40% chance against the Dogs if we beat the Blues. Now I'd say 50:50.

From the BDAFL website - bdafl.com.au

The Newcastle City Blues won their third straight premiership today defeating rivals Cardiff by 51 points.

The match was set up in the first term where the Blues beat the Hawks to the ball at nearly every contest kicking 6 goals 6 behinds and could have converted more chances. Newcastle City led by 34 points and were never headed.

They extended their margin to 44 points at half time and continued to win every quarter.

The final score was 17.21 (123) to 10.12 (72).

Luke Rawnsley won the McBain Medal after being judged best on ground.

Newcastle City
Goal Kickers: M. Wheeler 3, L. Rawnsley 3, J. Cleaver 3, J. Morton 3, M. Knight, O. Dawes, M. Bailey, J. Drury, P. McGuinness
Best Players: L. Rawnsley, J. Bric, S. Burke, B. Cornwall, M. Knight, J. Cleaver
Cardiff
Goal Kickers: M. Ryan 4, B. Serafin 3, Q. Davis, L. Orton, S. O'Brien
Best Players: A. Clarke, L. Gibson, S. Conlan, M. Ryan, B. Serafin, T. Sheldon

Earlier in the day, Singleton won the Reserve Grade Premiership easily accounting for Nelson Bay and Cardiff over ran Killarney Vale in the last term to win the Under 18 Premiership.

Singleton won back to back premierships and Cardiff completed the hat-trick after winning in 2008 & 2009. ]]> NSW/ACT Footy -Doogs- http://www.redandwhiteonline.com/forum/showthread.php/31746-Newcastle-City-wins-3rd-straight-BDAFL-title http://www.redandwhiteonline.com/forum/showthread.php/31745-Swans-Twitter?goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 10:10:06 GMT sydneyswans: Show your true colours: Show the world that you love the Sydney Swans by decorating you home, office, classroom or...... sydneyswans: Show your true colours: Show the world that you love the Sydney Swans by decorating you home, office, classroom or... http://bit.ly/9VMJ98
