    Have we won MORE premierships than NAB cup games in the last 10 years?

    2 premierships since 2003. Never won under Roos, and if I recall correctly we won one game last year under longmire??

    2 premierships. 1 Nab cup win.

    Good to know we have our priorities straight

    It's not called the "Who gives a @@@@" cup around my place for nothing. Only the crappy clubs desperate for any type of win target these glorified trials.

    I call it the practice match cup. That's all it is.

    I know we have generally played the NAB Cup with disinterest, but yesterday has to be the most disinterested I've ever seen us. A training run and no injuries is clearly all the club wanted.

    I don't remember us ever doing particularly well in the pre-season competition. However, we did win (the then) night series in 1982. How many of you were there or remember that?
    Supporting the club formerly known as South Melbourne ?

    Did you know South Melbourne/Sydney Swans has won the 5th most games in the history of the game?

    I remember watching it on TV ... & now watch it once a year on DVD.

    We also lost the '84 night GF against Essendon

    True, but in those days I think the competing teams were those that weren't playing in the finals. Except '57 ... we won that year when all 12 teams played. Also, I reckon the games were played at Lakeside (our home ground).
