I think it is generally believed their membership numbers are inflated somehow. Just think, why do you sign up as a member of a sports club? Does that reason translate to a brand new, marketing-created club which has so few wins? Probably not.
It is inconceivable that there are 12,000 people in this world passionate about GWS at this stage. One day it might happen, but not yet.
Yep a really disappointing turn out from them - I'd have expected more of these supposed new GWS fans would want to follow their team across town. Also of course there were plenty of Swans people who didn't bother to turn up either. Pretty disappointing on such a lovely sunny day.....
Oh, I forgot to say - Good umpiring today! So good to have a game where the umps were not driving me crazy. A couple of errors, but that's about as good as you can expect in a game of footy.
Thanks umps.
From Swans Facebook page:
'If the Swans missed every shot at goal, they still would've beaten the Giants 51 - 42.'
The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible news
Good things
1) Brandon may have needed the reality check after his 4 goals lat week.
2) Lamb is starting to look less out of his depth in the firsts, albeit against the Pygmies.
3) Our percentage lead over the Dockers has improved markedly.
Bad things
4) While we will probably lose Benny, but Harry played very well in the 2's.
5) Mitchell's 4th quarter when played in the centre.
OK gonna say it. Jesse must NOT be trade bate, we have got to keep him. Best insurance you could have.
If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhood
Lamb made several excellent foot passes on the run that were very impressive. It's been good for him to gain these several games of senior experience. The improvement is evident.
BJ will be a good player, but still looks very raw. I'm sure he'll learn a lot from the senior experience. I think he should return to the reserves and be replaced by Harry C.
