Some of you who receive the Swans emails may have already received this poem that Adam Spencer read out at the Swans' grand final dinner in Melbourne after the game. Posting it again here. Brought a tear to my eye.
******************
Well what an epic contest, an amazing thing to see
The Sydney Swans have won the flag, upon the MCG
They just could not be bettered, they fought the greater fight
And that is why it's time for us to 'run amok' tonight
But as the crowd did roar 'cheer cheer', our voices raised the roof
This afternoon's great victory, it evidenced a truth
Today we raised the banner, shook thunder from the sky
Today our boys proved once again, they simply never die
You realise when you try to stop a Hannebery or Jetta
That when you've given all you've got our boys just bounce back better
You can attack our boys with samurai swords - and sever off their head
And bury them in concrete, but our Swans are never dead
You could take a funnel web spider, and hide it in the beard
Of Nick Malceski or Rhyce Shaw, there's nothing to be feared
You could jump on top of Adam Goodes, and tickle him to death
But suddenly his smiling corpse, would draw another breath
You could wire up Jude's testicles, give him half a million volts
And barely get a grimace, from the mighty warrior Bolts
And that is why on this great day, we held the trophy high
These mighty bloods, our Sydney Swans, they simply never die
