BINGO, you get first prize. !! Shortly after departing the Swans, Paul Roos said candidly, " Fact is, the Swans can NEVER bottom out, rebuild, as the Melb teams have to do, due to the very fickle nature of the Sydney market, and fan fickleness up there, they must always be strong and in contention . ". Says it all, I reckon. :!:

GWS, GC & SYD are all guinea pigs, once the AFL gifts them a flag or 2 each & the funds dry up, they will get dumped like they have done to BNE --- 3 flags in a row back in the early 00s & now languishing on the bottom of the ladder, struggling both on & off the field.

I really don't GAF anymore what happens to other clubs, I haven't spent a cent on this corrupt competition since we won the flag in 2010!
WE WERE ROBBED, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, RIGHT IN FRONT OF MEEE!

N.Y METS, N.Y GIANTS, PENRITH PANTHERS & HOBART HURRICANES FAN.

WE ALL LOOK GOOD AT TRAINING, IT'S THE MATCHES THAT COUNT!

"but two massive wins against a bunch of kids, Giants, does get that top two coveted spot, makes it safe"

Round 1: Giants 99 def. Swans 67.

Round 15: Swans 106 def. Giants 60.

Over the 2 results: + 14 points to Sydney. Hardly massive, mate.

It's a game. Enjoy it. :D

yeh ok, they lost a fluke loss to giants in rd one, but the fact remains, they got to play giants twice, we once. yet they finished much higher on ladder last year. Rigged, pure and simple. :roll:

Yup that's sums it up, just look at the lions, this national competition thing is all bullshit, it will just never work, because certain states don't have enough genuine following.

If they can't survive on their own as the WA and SA teams have, stuff em, let em rot
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!
