Thread: Swans 2015 season review

  1. #13
    I've found the year very hard to enjoy to be honest.

    - The endless Swans bashing from peanuts like Eddie, Dermie and the new kid who wants to be in their silly club (Meathead Brown).
    - The lacklustre leadership and arrogance of Gill the Dill
    - The general insularity and selfishness of the Melbourne Mafia
    - The unspeakable tragedy of Phil Walsh
    - The never ending James Hird Show - can this narcissistic @@@@@ please be banished from AFL for a long time
    - The ever worsening car crash that is Queensland Football
    - The shameful booing of one of our great Australians that has seen me lose friendships over given how strongly I feel about it
    - The sadness and uncertainty over Buddy

    September is normally my favourite month of the year but I have not enjoyed the finals at all the year and not just because we wen out in straight sets

    At the moment I really don't feel like watching football for a long time. Indeed if the Hawks are in the GF I won't be turning it on for the first time in over 30 years. A WA derby would whet my appetite somewhat but how could I feel any joy for a club who had booed a hero of mine so mercilessly over the colour of his skin.

    The only real positive for me was Isaac Heeney, what a joy to watch....

    I guess I'll hang in here until trade week but I look forward to not thinking about football for a while

And does anyone else find Mr Curley's posts (especially in 'In the mix' each week during the season) on afl.com.au frustratingly ignorant? I presume he does get paid for his work.
    Perhaps Vasco Pyjama should have a go?
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    You pretty well nailed how I feel about 2015. Thanks Mug.

    Losing Jetta and Goodes saddens me as much as anything.

    I also don't want to be too negative. We have been blessed over the last good period of time and I have faith in the club's ability to endure, learn and advance.

    I'll be back next year for more and think we will again be competitive.
