Dermott Brereton has said on Melbourne radio that most of the Swans played well, most of the Hawks didn't, Hawthorn didn't kick accurately and still Hawthorn only lost by 10 points. Hence, Hawthorn lost the premiership - we didn't win it. Maybe the bookies believe that, too. What that theory doesn't take into account is that just maybe the Hawks didn't play well because they weren't allowed to!!!!
I also believe that the Hawks are false favourites because they were very lucky to make the Grand Final in the first place. In the preliminary final, Adelaide gifted Hawthorn 3 or 4 goals from terrible mistakes and the Hawks got the best of the umpiring - again - but only just fell in by 5 points!
Doesn't matter how we won it or how it's perceived by jealous Hawks fans , the record books will show:
Sydney Swans - 2012 AFL Premiers.
Everything else is just bull@@@@.
..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

Not many people remember who lost the GF - they only remember the winners. That would be us.

As I posted elsewhere I had $25 on the swans at $31 during the pre-season. I think it got out to $41 at some stage during the season Feeling very chuffed. It paid for my grand final weekend and left me with a bit left over for a bet on the Melbourne cup.
Dad had 10 on the swans at $41 and another 10 on ROK for the norm at $13, he was pretty happy.
I See It But I Don't Believe It!!!!
