Neither Swans team has won a game. We're 0-7 collectively between the AFL and AFLW sides.
Tough month.
We've got one more chance to get on the board in 2024 this weekend with the AFLW team up against the Eagles at Henson Park. Get out there and support the ladies if you can. Apart from the blowouts against two top sides in North and Brisbane, we've been competitive.. just can't quite get over the line at the moment.
Sadly the article is no longer available. I bought the Rampe Robe for everyone in my family and we still wear it all the time. In fact, I wore it to the Prelim to celebrate the Great Dane's 250th milestone game. What other new merch should the Swans add to their stock? I love my JPK and Rampe socks, and also have the Heeney and Parker bobbleheads (both signed now). I have a collection of various cushions as well.
I don't know anything about the draft, how it works or who's in it this year but I hear that the talent this year is deep so wondering who we could get with the picks we have as well as what delisted free agents are out there that could suit us?
After the 2022 defeat i was pretty shattered we could put on a show like that, 2023 was a pass but did well in the trade period and filled some gaps but after 2024 i dont know how i feel about the club.
The slow starts never got resolved Not playing Adams in the GF The treatment of Parker Injuries going into the GF Chads future How mentally strong will we be in the next GF
I will never not back Sydney but i am struggling to see the positives moving forward.

Hey guys
Havnt been a member in years usually just attend the 6-7 vic games a year.
Looking a getting one but just wondering if anyone know whats seating like
Cant stand being level 3-4. Prefer ground. This package just say general admission. Is that like meaning unreserved in a members bay or like normal public general admission which is all parked right near the top. Can i upgrade to ground seats? How expensive is it?
Does anyone know what priority gf tickets if any vic ultimate gets
Thanks if you can answer any or all of my questions thanks.
Few things that have been playing on my mind.
Morning faithful,
I’ve asked this question to Swans membership already but it’s a quiet Friday morning in work so thought I’d ask here too…
We’re changing our membership from Red 11 (General admission) to Gold 11 (reserved seats) mainly so we don’t have to get to the big games super early next year and can have a bit more flex of what we do before games etc.
When I go through to choose my seats, none of the Red Zone area is available - I assumed those reserved bays in the Red Zone were for this exact use case.
Question: Does this mean that if I went for the Gold membership and our seats were elsewhere (I.e. not in the RedZone) in the stadium we would lose access to the RedZone area?
We like the food options there and general vibe so would be disappointed to have to sit elsewhere.
Thanks in advance!
Small forwards are one of the biggest holes on our list, so if he finds form there is absolutely a spot in our 22 for him.
As a top 20 pick from only 2 years ago he must have the talent, so what are everyone’s opinions on him as a player? Are you sad to see him go? Do you think he can make a serious impact at North?
One last time. Thank you Luke Parker.
Does anybody else feel like we are generally poor at saying farewell to our older players ? Not all of them of course. Ryan okeefe, Luke Parker. just to name a few were if you wanna say harshly pushed out the door.
Sydney Get Pick 44
North get Parker & Konstanty
I personally don’t see him leaving next year. I don’t see him as a lifer but i think we will definitely have him short term at least. Everyone i’ve spoken to said he’s leaving without a doubt next season. Thoughts?
According to Beveridge, neither party has budged since the start of trade talks - Roos offered Pick 62 which the Swans rejected (rightly so, imo). The Swans asked for Pick 25 and was rejected at the end of last week. The Roos have said they would be prepared to move on if they can't reach an agreement and Chris Keane has repeatedly said the deal is "more complicated than it looks" because Parker is a contracted player. Pick 44 seems a good middle ground that neither party is discussing.
So, what happens if the deal doesn't get done? Parker stays with the Swans, may not be a regular in the Best 22 (because the match selection committee had clearly shown their hand this season), leaves at the end of 2025 as an uncontracted player and, assuming the Roos are still keen to bring him on for a 2-year deal, he walks away and the Swans get nothing at all for him. I'd like to think he would still get to play his 300th in the red and white and we celebrate him but with the knowledge that the Swans have fucked with a fan favourite, a club veteran and a future Hall-of-Famer.
If this trade fails, what needs to be done by both the Swans and Parker to make sure their relationship can be salvaged/repaired? I mean, we all said goodbye and good luck to the champ 2 weeks ago, and everyone believed the Swans would act in good faith and let him go with their blessings. I get that this is business at the end of the day but it doesn't seem to be making much sense right now, at least not to me.
