Thoughts From Sydney

by Supersonic — Mon, 2006-07-17 21:40 — Last Updated: Wed, 2009-04-22 13:28

G'day fellow footy fans,

I have finally got around to it, but I hope this is the first of many blogs about my thoughts of footy from here in Sydney. Before I begin, though, it would be remiss of me not to echo the thoughts of Derrick and thanking Rob and the whole AFANA crew for the opportunities I have been afforded so far with AFANA. I have spent the best part of the last 18 months covering Swans games for AFANA, making valuable contacts and gaining important experience while I am still at university.

Having had AFANA on my CV during this time has already helped out. Since joining here, I have become sports editor for the uni magazine publication, am co-hosting a weekly sports program on community radio and this week will begin a cadetship on a news service called National Radio News, second only in reach to the ABC- my first paid job!   read more »

Swans Cap Milestones With Win

By Frank Ienco reporting for AFANA from Sydney
Fremantle’s chances of playing Finals football in September appear all but over after they succumbed to a 28-point defeat at the hands of the Sydney Swans in their Heritage Round clash at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The 11.23 (89) to 9.7 (61) loss leaves the Dockers two games outside the top Eight with only eight rounds to play and  read more »

Magpies Overcome Poor Swans

Collingwood have re-affirmed themselves as one of Victoria’s main hopes for the Premiership flag following their 13 point disposal of an insipid Sydney side in their now-annual split-round clash at Telstra Stadium. The Magpies overcame a shock last-start loss to lowly Melbourne to lead from start to finish, and were rarely threatened against a stumbling and fumbling home side. The Swans defeat leaves them precariously placed at 6-6 and the defending Grand Finalists are in serious danger of missing the finals for the first time since Paul Roos became coach in 2003.

By Frank Ienco reporting for AFANA from the Sydney Cricket Ground

Essendon has presented themselves as a genuine finals contender after claiming their biggest scalp of the season, downing the Sydney Swans by a solitary point at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The win is the Bombers third on the trot and now lifts them into the AFL top eight. However the dramatic 11.8 (74) to 11.7 (73) win came with controversy,

by Supersonic — Tue, 2007-05-22 09:29 — Last Updated: Wed, 2007-05-23 15:03

By Frank Ienco reporting for AFANA

Sydney has again defied their critics and put their season back on track following a clinical 31 point disposal of competition leaders Port Adelaide at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday afternoon (AEST). The Swans played an exciting attacking brand of football for most of the day, and while the result was not completely assured until mid-way through the final term, the home side led from start to finish and always had the Power at arms length.  read more »

Brave Young Lions Fall Short

Swans 13. 18 (96) d. Lions 10. 9 (69)

Frank Ienco reporting for AFANA from Sydney

At times they fumbled, kicked poorly and turned over the ball too easily, but the Sydney Swans have used their superior ability to close out games to down the Brisbane Lions by 27 points at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

After trailing by 10 points at the final change and looking anything like premiership favorites, the Swans slammed five goals to none in the final quarter in a commanding finish. The win also capped a memorable 250th game for star forward Michael O’Loughlin, whose last quarter goals helped seal the win.     read more »

This Week: Sydney Swans v West Coast Eagles @ Telstra Stadium Saturday 7:10pm Local Time

 
After a tumultuous month in their club’s history, the Eagles, as well as the AFL, will be finally looking to turning the focus onto the field this weekend. There will be no better way to do this than against the Swans in another Grand Final rematch in what is quickly becoming the AFL’s biggest rivalry.
