    So Yeah...WE ARE INTO THE GRAND FINAL!!

    Wow...little sleep happening tonight! Hard to believe that we are all about to live through the excitement, anticipation and nerves of another grand final week and then day.

    This club we support...incredible!! The AFL takes away the COLA, slaps an unjust trade ban on us for following THEIR rules and still we make the Grand Final.

    SO EXCITED!! Let's enjoy the week ahead Swans' fans!
    Swannies for life!

    And especially not if you're wearing them, as becoming a new Isadora Duncan would really put a dampener on things.

    I was driving home from work yesterday and had a slight conniption as I was at the lights next to a car that had a scarf dangling from it - I put my window down and politely said "that's bad luck you know" sure the person thought I was some kind of middle aged crazy woman, but my stern, I mean business look made them pull the offending scarf inside the car!! ????????

    Going to be wet all week in Melbourne, no GF day forecast yet.

    Starting to make plans for the trip over. Scarf etiquette noted!

    I've seen cloudy with sunny periods 11-17 so throw in an icey wind and it will be perfect.
    Glad you have taken note of scarf etiquette!!! ????????

    Great work Wardy!!!

    I will be driving down this year (flew down in '12 and '14), as long as my mate is lucky enough to get a ticket in the priority 2 ballot.

    What a wonderful season it has been, and win or lose next week, im so proud of our wonderful club!

    Bring on the big dance and carn you mighty swannies!

    I booked my leave a few months ago, too. I'm also driving down with my partner and kids on Thursday (via Beechworth) for our first Melbourne holiday. Hanging out for the ballot results now.
