    Gf rematch

    In 05, 06, 15 the team that lost the first final had a rematch in the grandfinal, met the same opponent they lost to week one and came away with the flag.

    Let's hope the trend continues.

    LEt's hope the Giants miss out completely. Though, I doubt it very much.

    If dogs make the grand final it will mean the 7th ranked team gets to host the 1st ranked team at home. Joke.

    I hope we continue that trend and break another. The Swans have not finished on top of the ladder and won the premiership in the same season for 98 years.

    Since we achieved that feat in 1918, we have finished on top of the ladder six times. In the previous five seasons where we finished on top of the ladder, we lost the Grand Final in each of those years (1935, 1936, 1945, 1996, 2014).

    Here's hoping our team of Cobs and Cygnets can prevail in eight days.

    THE HOME OF THE. AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE GRAND FINAL IS THE MCG
    Apart from one soulless year this is what it is if you want to win it that's where you need to do so . No amount of keyboard warfare will change that

    Stuey Dew played in AFL premierships in 2004 (Port) & 2008 (Hawks), & was involved in the 2012 premiership with Sydney's coaching staff .... leap years & premierships seem to sit well with Stuey

    But they did continue the trend of every minor premier finishing the season with a % greater than 143% has at least made the grand final.

    And so far with grand finals, I've been lucky enough to attend 1996 (L), 2005 (W), 2006 (L), 2012 (W), 2014 (L). I hope the trend continues ....

    And to strengthen the omen, he also played in a SANFL premiership for Centrals in 2000.

    I thought Swans and Giants GF would have to be moved to ANZ (Your grand old lady of Australian sport)...
