Bright Day Turns into Dark Day
Having finally won the Premiership after 72 long long year it was finally time for the Swans first home game of the season and that meant for the first time since 1934 the Swans would begin a home opener with a flag unfurling to mark such a major feat. For such such a sunny day and fantastic pregame unfurling of the premiership flag that saw the flag passed around many of the club important comtributers in the past 72 years since we last had the honor to do this.
Then came the players turn to do their jobs and put away what on paper looked liked a weak Port Adelaide side. How wrong could we be. Port just blew us off the park and the Swans couldn't cope. The sunny start to the day turned into a dark finish and even a late flood of goals couldn't hide the fact we were no match for the Power from the moment we put our second goal though the middle. Even the umpiring went against us again, but it had no impact on the result unlike last week.
Yet another sad ending to what should of been a proud for our, just like 2003 and the game against Hawthorn the night after the Team of the Century was named, a habit this club seem to have. Anyway onto last years wooden spoon winners Carlton, surely not even we could lose that????
SYDNEY: 11.14(80)
PORT ADELAIDE: 15:16(106)
GOALS: Hall, O'Loughlin, Davis, Fosdike 2 Buchanan McVeigh, Crouch 1.
Best Swan On Ground: They were all shit, but forced to pick one out, I would go with Fosdike who at least won some of the ball and slotted home a few goals to boot.
Rising Star: McVeigh again, mainly because he had no one to challenge him this week. Richards and Chambers failed to even show up I believe and Dempster got caught out too offen.
