You know I can never get past how hard the swans fan base did it down here from 1945. I have been blessed with now three grand finals (missed 1996 because I was in Canberra), repeated finals campaigns and a club whose leaders are respected across the entirety of the afl landscape. On top of that we have continued to see great players like goodes, Lockett, Kelly, cresswell and just an amazing array of talented workers.

And amongst it all I look back on the role, barassi, eade, roos, maxfield, Kelly, longmire, and now mcveigh and just thank my lucky stars about the sides I have managed to support.

I can't wait til Saturday. If super teddy is right we can give this a real shake I reckon.
