That's true, mate.
They were saviours of this club and presided over some fantastic times for the club but they are now the opposition and we have beat them down in Canberra this weekend.
I remember the dark days of the early 90's well and the great times of 1996.
That 1996 season was brilliant except for when we lost to North i n the Grand Final.
My 1st bullet goes to Robert Walls, 2nd to Dimitriou. I don't mind Rocket, IMO he did the first phase of the Swans climb up the ladder before Roosey got us to the summit. He still deserves part of the credit, unlike Walls and Dimitriou who were actively trying to knock us down as we approached the premiership flag.
Go and watch the highlights of 96 and 98 and tell me where he curbed their flare. Like many long term coaches he lost his way towards the end but that doesn't diminish the good work he did in the early part of his career with the Swans. Some would argue that he was a misdirected kick away from being a premiership coach.

geez how long ago did eade coach the swans, and how long has he been at the dogs? time to move on.
Personally i like eade and thought he was great for our club when he was with us.
As for the actual match this weekend, its has the potential to make our season. It is a chance for this side to show what its made of in difficult conditions (players out) against quality opposition.
Theres not much left to say

Fair point but what about the other 5 years. The guys a control freak who rants and raves at his players and thinks that's good coaching.
There were a fair % of fans who weren't keen on Eade, particularly towards the end. And it's fair to say there would have been an even greater % of players and staff not keen as the fat lady sang at his Sydney career.
I'd say if the interweb and sites such as this were as popular, or even in existence in his later years here, we would have some very 'entertaining' and lively threads as the for's and against's butted heads.
Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09
We haven't lost a game this year with Hannebery in them team
Same goes for Playfair. So I reckon that's reason for optimism

I like it Reggi.
