If we win Week 1, that will lock us in for a Friday night prelim at the SCG. Better leave work early, the traffic will be an all-time, worst ever nightmare...

Like a few other folks, at the beginning of the year I thought we were a 5-8 side. All I have to say is that we have done an amazing job achieving the minor premiership. Horse, Kirk, the leadersheap team and many others have done an A-grade job keeping the Swans competitive and dominant throughout the year. Smashing the Tigers (our bogey team) at home was the cherry on the cake. Got me singing a football chant throughout the weekend haha.

We are top of the league say we are top of the league!
SAY WHAT!
We are top of the league say we are top of the league!*
Since 1897, the Swans have finished on top of the ladder 9 times (including this year).
In those other 8 years, the Swans have played off in the decider all 8 times (though the first three occasions were under a finals system where the Minor Premier had an automatic right to play in a decider). We have won 2 premierships (1909 and 1918) and been runners up 6 times.
It has been 98 years since we finished on top and won the flag in the same year. I think it's time we broke that streak.
