    So you don't like the speech. No need to cry about it.
    Where did Bomber say That! link please, because I can't believe he would have he has achieved so much more than Sydney has and most likely ever will. Geelong is up there with Brisbane as one of the all time great sides. If he did then not only did he achieve it he improved on it and still is.

    It was years ago - Around the time of their first premiership.

    I can't believe that you think the Swans are a dysfunctional club...are you on something or just stirring?

    Both he and Tom Harley have made reference to our club as to how they would like to be perceived and respected.

    Not to mention the fact they brought in the same leadership program that we used when setting up the club again under Roos and Maxfield.

    wow so we are all to love Kirky then regardless?

    the fact is there are some who hang off every word he says & think he's the messiah and there are some who dont - simple - it doesnt meant that those who aren't fond of him love the club any less - they just have a different opinion on things which is their perogative. Stop trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
    I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

    And of course, this year Voss told a RWOer that the Lions held the Swans in high regard and the model for the Lion's structure. Just as Roos modelled his team on Leigh's Lions.

    The Cats were a rabble in 2005 and 2006 and at the start of 2006 until they took on board the Swans' model of personal responsibility - the same base that Lyons took to this year's other Grand Finalist. The Cats have played three GFs and won two so they are ahead of the Swans but hard to say "achieved so much more than Sydney has and most likely ever will".

    It'd be just as fair to surmise that if the Swans had GAblett in 2006 they'd have two premierships, too.
