    Grand Final Day Review

    If anyone is ready for a bit of a light-hearted read about the GF, I have written this....

    If I am re-opening some kind of wound by posting this, I apologise!

    Naaahh,we've had enough (much-needed and welcome) catharsis for the time being!

    Joe , was your link posted by our midfield ? I ask , because it isn't functioning right.

    Whoops. Maybe this one will work. Bloody midfield!

    Great article. It is true, there are worse teams to follow than the Swans.

    I think that helps Joe,...nah I'm still numb.

    Whilst it is true there are worse teams to support than Sydney, I'm at the point where I no longer want to play anymore. I don't want to go to another Grand Final, because it may happen again, and I never want to witness something like that again.

    Nice work as always Joe.
    Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

    Thanks Ernie. Much appreciated.

    Doctor, I feel the same way. At the moment, I'm feeling like if we make the Grand Final next year, I may just head away somewhere up the coast, hire out a house and lock myself away! That was as much pain as I've ever been in whilst watching our Swannies.

    Anyway, time heals all wounds, and I am sure we will all be back on board, as proud as ever, come Round 1 2015.

    Joe, as usual a wonderful read. You have captured every moment of the day beautifully from the thrill of expectation and favouritism to the bitter, dismal agony of such a crushing defeat, you certainly are a wonderful word-smith!

    Thanks Jewels. You're very kind. Have four pieces being published in this year's Footy Almanac, so very excited about that. Just wished I could've written about a premiership! Ah well, next year hey?

    You write beautifully!

    I kind of skimmed over the match bits though - not quite ready to relive that part of the day....

    Well done.
