Player Retirements

As every season finishes so to does the careers of many players who finally admit defeat to the stresses of their body's and this year is no different for the Swans who have so far seen 5 players call it quits. As sad as it is, such retirements allow this list to grow even further (who would of thought the Swans would bearly feel the effects of the retirements of Kelly, Dunkley and Cresswell) and with this year retirements already at 5 it means the Swans are in a position that they don't have to trade or delist anyone they want to keep.

So far I've brought up the retirements of Matthew Nicks and Jason Ball on this site, but in the days since the Swans win in the Grand Final a week ago we have seen Heath James, Andrew Schauble and Stuart Maxfield also call it a day due to injury. It's always hard to say goodbye to players who have done so much for a club from being the club captain, winning Best and Fairest awards to playing key roles in a our first premiership win in 72 years.

To those who have retired, thank you and best of luck.

Sydney Salutes Their Winners

swannies2_wideweb__430x277.jpg

Tens of thousands took to the streets of Sydney today in celebration of the Swans first premiership since moving to Sydney in 1982 and first premiership for the club since 1933 which broke the longest premiership droughts in VFL/AFL history. The streets of Sydney were covered in red and white from buildings, people, cars and the ticketape that flutted down from the sky (so to speak).

As the cars with the players in the back moved up George Street which is the main thoroughfare of the city, the crowd got bigger and bigger, as people took every possible means to get close to their heroes.

"It's a magnificent feeling to be back in your home city and know everyone's come out to support us," Jude Bolton said. "You don't realise the enormity of it until something like this."

The parade continued to the steps of Sydney's historic Town Hall - where the sandstone pillars were draped with red and white flags - and the city's Mayor presented the team with the keys to the City of Sydney.

FINALLY!!!!!

019407gallery.jpg

For those who have been living under a rock for a week I have some very proud news to report - THE SWANS HAVE WON THE 2005 PREMIERSHIP. After supporting this club for so many years and having been brought up as a Swans fan in the late 80's, early 90's I thought this day would never come, but by heck it has and boy was it worth the wait.

While the match won't be remembered as a highscoring shootout that mnay fans like to see, it will be remembered for being one of the toughest Grand Final's for many a year and one where accountable teamwork won out over flashy football. But for me that isn't important, what is important is that the Swans finally have a premiership after 72 years and I was alive to see it (despite my tombstone post early in the season).

Basically there isn't much one can say about the match other than the fact it was a close match and the Swans won out , but I will say that Leo Barry's heavily contested mark in the West Coast forward line in the dying seconds will go down as one of the great Grand Final moments and will live with me forever.

The match itself saw the Swans trail the Eagles out of the blocks but managed to keep the Eagles to only two goals and allowed themselves to work themselves back into the match and kick two late goals thanks to Schneider and Hall to add to an early goal from Jolly. This allowed the Swans a 2 point quarter time lead and let the Eagles know that they would allow them room to move.

The second term saw us bounce out quickly with 3 goals to thanks to Goodes, O'Loughlin and Kennelly before the 16-minute mark, gaining a 21-point lead which turned out to be the biggest margin of the match. The rest of the quarter saw the Swans hold the Eagles down and saw them go into halftime with no goals in the second quarter and looking gone. But the Eagles had other ideas and turned the tables and held us scoreless in the third term while kicking five unanswered goal into the early stage of the last quarter. This included Luke Ablett's brain fade (all is forgiven Luke) and Adam Hunter's "touched" goal.

At that stage things looked gone for the Swans and the Eagles fans near me had started their premiership party. But a quick Barry Hall goal from outside 50 quickly ended them and put the Swans back into the hunt. Once that door was opened the Swans took off and started attacking like no tomorrow.

This is where things got crazy, Magic got the ball but missed normally easy shots at goal and when five points down an Amon Buchanan goal put the Swans in front for what turned out to be the last time and as we moved the lead out further and the Eagles started to attack looking for a winning goal the nerves started playing up, but never fear when things counts Leo Barry stood tall.

At the ground I saw the mark and relief went though my body as I knew we would be able to clear the ball once more, but all of a sudden the noise level picked up and seeing people dancing and crying I knew the siren had gone and the premiership was won.

The whole presentation and lap of honor was a blur but I managed to spend it with my friends and found out and hugged everyone I needed to hug. Found my Dad, who got me into this at Punt Road, watch the team being presented and then went off to Clarendon Street for a feed and a few drinks at Patony's (which saw us take turns at waving JF's 10ft flag at the passing traffic), then moving onto Bell's at about 1am (throwing cut up and docket rolls as we went) to watch the 2nd half on replay and drink out of the premiership cup.

P9251120.JPG

After getting kicked out of there after the replay finished because we kept them open an hour pass their closing time, it was off too Crown where we managed to find a quiet bar which had these great chairs and rested our legs and enjoyed a few more quiet drinks until 4am when they closed the bar. After that it was off to Collingwood for 2 hours sleep via a feed at McDonald's and then the family day at Lake Oval. Since then I've just rested up and let the moment sink in.

But no matter how hard I try its hard to accept the Swans finally are premiers of the AFL and have finally won our 4th Premiership.

Thanks to the 22 players who gave their all and to Paul Roos for getting the mix right. We fans are always in your debt.

1909 - 1918 - 1933 - 2005

Sydney: 8.10 (58)
West Coast: 7.12 (54)

Goals: Hall 2 Buchanan, Goodes, Jolly, Kennelly, O'Loughlin, Schneider 1.

Best Swan on Ground: Lewis Roberts-Thomson/Amon Buchanan/Nic Fosdike/Leo Barry/Barry Hall/Craig Bolton.... I could go on and name the 22 players but I leave that for another post. To be honest they all played their part in particular the first three.

Well the teams are in and the Swans have yet again gone in with an unchanged line up for the Grand Final, while the Eagles have been forced to make two changes because of injury and might have to make a late change if Phil Matera fails to get though the Eagles final training session at the MCG today. On the Swans side we have made only one change to our team in the past 7 matches and that was after the finals loss to the Eagle 3 weeks back which saw Luke Vogels make way for Paul Bevan. There are no rumors of a late change from the Swans so we should into tomorrow with no drama's hanging over our head.

B: Crouch, Barry, Roberts-Thomson
HB: Mathews, C.Bolton, Kennelly
C: Buchanan, Goodes, Dempster
HF: O'Keefe, Hall, J.Bolton
F: Williams, O'Loughlin, Davis
R: Jolly, Kirk, Ablett
Int: Ball, Bevan, Fosdike, Schneider
Emg: Malceski, Schauble, Moore
No change

WEST COAST
B: Hunter, Glass, Wirrpunda

Kill Me Now

Well the umpiring appointments are in and thanks to the AFL's hate directed at the Swans thanks to the egg in face result of us even making the Grand Final, let me just say things couldn't be any worse than the 3 field umpires that we got "stuck" with.

Darren Goldspink, Scott McLaren and Brett Allen have all been rewarded with Grand Final's and the chance to do something they all have a history of enjoying to do. Allen did last year's GF, but Goldspink and McLaren thought their chances of ever umpiring the big one had past one with Goldspink not doing one since 2000 and McLaren's last being in 2001.

Still we shall overcome

Hall Cleared to Play

Well after a four day mini drama that the Swans could of done without the Swans finally can start to plan for a Grand Final knowing that they will have Barry Hall free and available to play come Saturday. Thanks to the AFL's stupid "Points" system, Hall was given a two match ban on Monday which if acepted would be lowered to 1 match thanks to a 25% discount.

Thankfully the club had the balls to stick by Barry and made sure they got the points awarded on Monday downgraded at the Tribunal last night by agruing that the hit was "in play" and not "behind play" as the Match Review Panel said it was on Monday, thus ensuring that Hall plays the match come Saturday despite pleading guilty.

Anyway with threats and talk of legal action though the court if need be the Swans can now focus on the Grand Final and not have the important planing days of Wednesday and Thursday ruined by the a destrackion like in 1996 with Andrew Dunkley.

Magoo's Finish Their Undeated Business

With the Senior Swans winning though to the Grand Final on Friday Night the Swans Reserves put the finishing touches to their undeated season in the ACTAFL by winning their Grand Final against Belconnen at Manuka Oval by 17 points.

Best on Ground and winner of the Alex Jesaulenko Medal was Nick Malceski, who would of done his chances of a senior call up for Saturday a world of good. Anyway, as stated hopefully this is the start of a week all us Swans fans have been long waiting for

Sydney Swans Reserves: 12.8-80
Belconnen Magpies: 8.15-63

"We 'jis Got to Keep it Goin' "

Stary, stary night.

Yet another last quarter charge has seen the Swans move within one win of the long awaited promised land. Nine years since our last chance the Sydney Swans are finally, finally back on football's biggest stage and we couldn't go in any more pumped than we already are. Sure it was a good win tonight and one that would of shocked most of the football world, but I won't get ahead of myself like I did in 96. I'm just happy to finally have another shot at football's biggest prize and a prize that hasn't been in Red and White hands since 1933.

I tell you one thing however unlike last week where I felt sorry for the Geelong supporters, I couldn't give a stuff to the cocky St Kilda supporters who already were discussing things such as "what jumper the team should wear in the GF" and "who should play the GF to win a premiership medal". These fools deadset thought they would just have to show up tonight and next week and the premiership would be their's. Well you have to wait longer now.

Still enough of my bitter (if you could call them that after winning) rantings and onto the match itself. The threat of rain held over the city of Melbourne all week and most of today, yet my gametime only a small amount had fallen and clearly not enough to effect the match like it did in last years semi final against St Kilda. From the outset the Swans didn't take any backward steps and attacked the Saints more than anyone expected and got 5 first quarter goals thanks to 2 goals each to Willo, Hall and a single from O'Keefe and jumped out to an 12 point lead at the first change.

The only down point of the first term was the off-the-ball incident Barry Hall had with St Kilda defender Matt Maguire and as a result Hall now faces a nervous wait ahead of the grand final. The incident was captured by the television cameras and showed Hall appearing to make contact with Maguire in the stomach with the Saints defender doubling over in pain, much to the fury of the Saints crowd. I think its soft, but it certainly could go either way.

In the second quarter it was mainly end to end stuff with packs forming offen, as a result the Swans only managed the one goal to Davis and allowed St Kilda to get 2 of their own to cut the lead 4 points at half time. In the third term it was more of the same from the Swans, but St Kilda put it all on the line as they charged to a 15 point lead going into time-on despite an earlier Amon Buchanan goal. Things were looking dire and the Swans badly needed a late goal if they were to stand a chance in the last quarter.

Just when we needed Barry Hall the captain to stand up, he did it by not only kicking the much needed goal which got us within 7 points at three quarter time, but at going over to the umpires upon the siren to give them a blast over their performance (which I predicted) which had at one point in the third term seen the Saint on the receiving end of an 8-1 free kick count. If only we could be that lucky.

While the Swans for the second week running started the last quarter behind on the scoreboard, they had the legs and thanks to a last second pep talk from Brett Kirk (who played most of the match with a nasty cut to the head) to the will to take the Saints on and win themselves a play in the Grand Final.

Our hero of the last quarter onslaught was Adam Schneider who kicked three goals after having a poor match up to that point with three kicks to his name. His run and belief of 2003 was back as the Swans made their move. Schneider kicked the first two goals of the final term to help the Swans regain the lead by the seven minute mark this was followed by a goal from O'Loughlin with a great snap at the eight minute mark. This was followed by 3 goals from Hall, O'Keefe and O'Loughlin which sent Swans fans crazy and dashing off to get Grand Final tickets.

By the time Schneider kicked his third on the run at the 18-minute mark, the Swans were 27 points up and celebrating their first finals victory at the MCG since the 1936 Preliminary Final and first in Melbourne since 1945.

While the forwards always get the credit one must not forget the efforts from the defence and again the underrated Craig Bolton was magnificent at centre-half-back thrashing a disappointing St Kilda skipper Nick Riewoldt who yet again proved that his abilty on the big stage is questionable at best. Jared Crouch barely allowed Saints' goalsneak Stephen Milne near the ball and set up much of the Swans drive across half back as he did last week. And Leo Barry never stopped trying to give the Swans run out of defence even though Fraser Gehrig kicked four goals.

So the Swans have made the Grand Final and after the bagging Paul Roos copped early in the season (including from myself I will admit), he has earnt the chance to have a final say in who is right and shut up those who bag the club's style of play. The following quote I feel sums up the season and the clubs turn around.

"It was a phenomenal effort by the guys. We were 2-4 early in the season, and copping it from everywhere. All credit to the players and the assistant coaches for remaining steadfast."

Anyway the Prelim Final is past us and now its onwards to the Grand Final and a chance at the clubs fourth ever premiership and as Manny always says:

"we 'jis got to keep it goin'"

SYDNEY: 15.6 (96)
ST KILDA: 9.11 (65)

Goals: Hall 4 Schneider 3 Williams, O'Loughlin, O'Keefe 2 Davis, Buchanan 1.

Best Swan On Ground: Ryan O'Keefe for the attack and Jared Crouch for the defence

Team Selections for Prelim Final

Well the teams are in and despite the fact we bearly made it across the line last week, the Swans go into tomorrow night's prelim final unchanged in the hope that the wet conditions predicted will favour a smaller side than a side that sees a Vogels or Schauble brought in at the expense of a Paul Bevan. Will be interesting to see how the Swans play this game, but one would think that the plan is for the defence to run off defence and not allow the Saints time to settle.

I just hope its not a repeat of the Semi Final last year. Still here are the teams and the Saints as expected brought in Maguire and Hudghton, but didn't risk Hamill, Koschitzke and Peckett. How this effects things is to be seen.

SYDNEY
B: Crouch, Barry, C.Bolton
HB: Mathews, Roberts-Thomson, Kennelly
C: Davis, Goodes, Dempster
HF: O'Keefe, Hall, Bolton
F: Williams, O'Loughlin, Buchanan
R: Jolly, Kirk, Ablett
Int: Ball, Bevan, Fosdike, Schneider
Emg: Malceski, Schauble, Vogels
No change

ST KILDA
B: Voss, Hudghton, Baker
HB: R.Clarke, Maguire, Goddard
C: Montagna, Ball, Jones
HF: Milne, Riewoldt, Dal Santo
F: Thompson, Gehrig, Harvey
R: Ackland, Powell, Hayes
Int: Guerra, Fiora, Blake, Gwilt
Emg: Gram, Stone, McGough
In's: Goddard, Hudghton, Maguire, Fiora
Out's: Peckett (hamstring), S.Fisher (foot), Hamill (calf), Ferguson

Umpire Appointments for Prelim Final

Well the news is very, very, very bad. If you thought getting Goldspink last week was bad (not that he impacted on the match) this week in what is the Swans most important match for many a year, we not only get Goldspink again, but get smacked around with McLaren joining him and (the dog of Subiaco) McInerney getting rewarded for screwing us over against West Coast with the emergency gig.

Still I thought last week we were goners, this week I just let it be. Anyway here is the list:

ST.KILDA vs SYDNEY

UNIFORM: YELLOW

FIELD:
#2- Michael Vozzo
#11- Scott McLaren
#32- Darren Goldspink
EMERGENCY:
#30- Shane McInerney

BOUNDARY:
Amin Chehade
Mark Thomson
Darren Wilson

GOAL:
Craig Clark
Andrew Curtis
EMERGENCY GOAL:
Steve Stirling

Harbourside Robbery

In what can only be discribed as harbourside robbery the Swans on Friday Night pulled off what will go down as one of the biggest steals in AFL/VFL history. With only seconds left on the clock Jason Ball tapped a throw up down to Nick Davis who without taking control of the ball, kicked the match winning goal and in the process sent the Swans into the promised land of a Prelim Final.

I know its four days since the great escape, but I promised you readers a report and a report you shall get, now that I have fully recovered from Friday Night's match.

Sitting in my seat at the SCG during the last quarter I had given up all hope after Geelong put though their 7th goal of the night and would force us to put though 4 goals of our own in less than 20 minutes to stay alive in season 2005, no way was that even possible when in over 3 quarters of the match we had bearly managed 3 goals and didn't even look like kicking 1 goal more let alone 4.

Still when there is a will there is a way with this club and that will happened to transport itself in the form of Nick Davis. Like a gift from above Nick was sent to us to run riot in the Swans forward line in the fourth quarter as Geelong started to get tired and the belief started to return to my body following a wonderful roving goal from a ruck contest 30 metres out running away from goal.

From that moment the SCG crowd started to turn up the volume and start to roar everytime the Swans went forward and when this happened at the halfway point of the last quarter, who ended up with the ball and an easy shot at goal??? Nick Davis. Goal and game well and truely on. For the next 5 minutes the Swans and Cats sent the ball crashing end to end like a pinball machine hoping either for the killer blow or a way within a goal. When time looked like it would run out up stepped Nick Davis yet again to snap a goal from 40 metres out.

Was this happening??? You bet it was.

By this stage my seat like most other in my Bay was useless as we all stood to chant and cheer on the boys to get the ball forward. It happened once, only for Brendon Sanderson to chip in and snag the mark. It happened twice only for the Cats to rush it out towards the boundry on the wing and then it happened for a third time and this was where the match was won and it was lost.

As time was running out the Swans though Leo Barry thumped the ball forward in hope rather than planning, as it rolled to the boundry line Steve Johnson of the Cats left it ran thinking he has seen it out only of Luke Ablett to punch it forward towards Barry Hall to who held Matthew Scarlett off from knocking it out of bounds. He then toe poked it towards the top of the goal square hoping for a Swans player to pick it up and get a goal, but the Cats held strong and kept the Swans out and forced a ball up 15 metres out from goal and as we all know Jason Ball tapped the ball down to Nick Davis who somehow managed to snap it though and spark massive crowd celebrations that went on for nearly 30 minutes afterwards. Hell, I somehow managed to end up 2 bays away from my seat. It was like I was at a Soccer match.

It was a remarkable win over the Cats in the dying seconds, but step forward Nick Davis (who as the banner that got plenty of coverage on the night said) to save us from a certain death. It won't go down as the most glamous of matches but it will go down as the most heart-stopping and I'm sure for those Cats fans who were there heart braking. You certainly felt sorry for those who made their way North for the match.

Still a final's win is a final's win and this means we earn the right to keep on going or as Manny would say (don't ask) "we 'jis got to keep it goin'". That means the team I feared going into the finals in St Kilda, but after last Friday Night, ANYTHING can and IS possible.

Sydney 7.14 (56)
Geelong 7.11 (53)

Goals: Davis 4, O'Loughlin 2, O'Keefe 1.

Best Swan On Ground: As if Nick Davis wouldn't win this one this week.

Team Selections for Semi Final vs Cats

Been too gutted, busy, and sick to update the latest news this week but never fear I wouldn't forget to post the team line ups for this weeks match against Geelong at the SCG. After a month of no changes the Swans finally decided to make one and brought back Paul Bevan into the side for the very very unlucky Luke Vogels. I would think the move is because Roosy thinks Geelong are a smaller side to match up on and feels the extra grunt Bevo adds could come in handy, plus the fresh legs help.

Anyway here are the teams for this weeks match:

SYDNEY
B: Crouch, Barry, C.Bolton
HB: Mathews, Roberts-Thomson, Kennelly
C: Nicks, Ablett, Dempster
HF: O’Keefe, Hall, J.Bolton
F: Goodes, O’Loughlin, Buchanan
R: Jolly, Kirk, Williams
Int: Ball, Fosdike, Schneider, Bevan
Emg: Vogels, Malceski, Schauble

In: Bevan
Out: Vogels

GEELONG
B: Hunt, Scarlett, Harley
HB: Rooke, Mooney, Milburn
C: Riccardi, Bartel, Mackie
HF: G.Ablett, Playfair, S.Johnson
F: Kingsley, N.Ablett, Kelly
R: King, Corey, Ling
Int: Enright, Egan, Sanderson, Tenace
Emg: D.Johnson, Byrnes, Gardiner

In: Enright
Out: Gardiner

Sydney vs. Geelong, SCG, 8.00pm
UNIFORM- YELLOW
FIELD:
#22- Stuart Wenn

The prick who cost us the match last week got the axe not surprisingly.

Gutsy Swans Lose Close Match

Its been the best part of 2 days since the game finished and still I feel as gutted as I did at 11.15pm Friday Night. To go all the way to Perth and take the game up to the Eagles and lose in that manner hurts. One can't help but think that has cost the Swans its chance at a premiership, but alas things keep on moving and we move onto next weeks home final.

I won't speak too much on the game except to say that I think Nick Davis is hitting good form, Kennelly and Dempster were good out of defence and Jude, Ablett and Kirk stood up again.

West Coast 10.9 (69)
Sydney 10.5 (65)

Goals: Davis, O'Loughlin 3 Hall 2 Schneider, O'Keefe 1

Best Swan On Ground: Nick Davis

Team Selections For The Final

Well its Thursday Night and the Swans have named their team to face the Eagles tomorrow night at Subiaco. For me the excitement for this match has been building all week and by 8.30pm tommorrow night I will be drained of all emotional energy and will be forced to watch the match running upon the fumes of a oily rag. Still for the team they clearly have thought hard about every little detail and set off for Perth on Tuesday to get ready for the match and soak up the pressure from the Eagles public.

Still to the teams for this week and yet again the Swans have gone with an unchanged 22 man squad, showing continued faith in the team that has got them this far. On the other hands the Eagles have done likewise making only the one enforced change that has been a big news item all week (how could Roos get 3 matches and only have to serve 1 match?? Beats me, proves how stupid the system really is I guess).

Anyway here are the teams for the first final of 2005:

SYDNEY
B: Crouch, Barry, C.Bolton
HB: Mathews, Roberts-Thomson, Kennelly
C: Goodes, Ablett, Dempster
HF: O’Keefe, Hall, J.Bolton
F: Davis, O’Loughlin, Buchanan
R: Jolly, Kirk, Williams
Int: Ball, Fosdike, Schneider, Vogels
Emg: Bevan, McVeigh, Powell

NO CHANGE

WEST COAST
B: Wirrpunda, Glass, Hunter
HB: Stenglein, Staker, Banfield
C: Embley, Cousins, Braun
HF: Chick, Gardiner, Kerr
F: Matera, Lynch. Seaby
R: Cox, Judd, Fletcher
Int: Hansen, B.Jones, Nicoski, Sampi
Emg: Butler, Green, R.Jones

In: B.Jones
Out: Selwood (concussion)

My tip, well you should know by now I don't give out tips. But anyway my heart says Sydney while the head says West Coast. Could and should be a cracker of a match.

Enjoy the match wherever you watch it, be it at the ground, at home or at the local pub.
