WATCH: The post-goal snub that has reignited rumours of friction between Swan and teammates
Not a single Swan acknowledged Sam Wicks' second goal against Hawthorn on Sunday, with the apparent snub coming after he was left out of…
I have supported the Swans since they came to Sydney as a result of the relocation of the South Melbourne Football Club. A ‘bloods transfusion’ if you will.
The AFL decided that they needed a Sydney team to strengthen their nationwide image – as well as to get better value for their TV coverage.
As an SCG member I liked the idea of somewhere to spend my winter weekend afternoons, and embraced the idea enthusiastically.
At first, it was a hard road.
The Swans lost far more than they won, and I had to endure the victory songs of all of the old-establishment Melbourne clubs over and over again.

They were so successful that the AFL decided to award them most of their games at night, which was great for ratings, but not good for the young kids and lovers of afternoon football.
The only true afternoon game is against the Suns, on Saturday – all other games are at night.
And only vampires go out at night, not even a ‘Bloods’ sucker.
