They sound fascinating! Were they officially sanctioned by the Swans? It's like a history lesson haha

There's only so much RAM in my head so I choose to keep the memory of pretty girls, footy, pin numbers and the occasional name there. (that order isn't random ) Bearded blokes in dresses don't make the cut.
..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

Swannettes were situated behind the goals, the Swantits used to make a grand entrance to wolf whistles and much mirth just before the game and 'perform' either in the O'Reilly or just in front of it in the O'Reilly concourse (memory fading) ....
Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09
I think they used to sit at the north end of the O'Reilly concourse, where the display car was for a number of years too (whatever sort of car that was). Pretty much in the spot where my group has sat for the last number of years, until this year due to the construction.
I think the Swantits showed up the silliness of the Swanettes and other 'cheerleaders', who were just there to look pretty and that was about it. The Swantits bought a bit of colour and movement and a bit of aSydney flavour to the game - it would be great to have them at the game this weekend for a laugh...
Does anyone remember the "Come on Sydney, we're the Sydney Swans..." song?
Yeah the Swantits would be great for a comeback but I don't know how many are still alive or are on zimmer frames these days as that was a long time ago. Twenty to thirty years since they have been seen. Maybe someone over at Gay Sydney Swans knows?
In case you've managed to excise it from your minds...
"We'll you've heard about the Magpies, Bulldogs and the Blues
You've heard about the Tigers, Cats and Kangaroos
We'll you've heard about the Bombers, Cazaly and the rest
WELL, MELBOURNE YOU'VE GOT NOTHING,

Lol let's get the old Swantits gang back together. It could be a farewell tour of sorts haha
Question.
Refresh my memory, was Warwick Capper's shorts in the 80's the Swans equivalent of Mariah Carey's camel toe?
