Go Swans! (see below for another new post)


Phoebe and I took 7th place in Pablo's Awesome Footy Finals contest and our team for the final 8 competition is the Sydney Swans. We have got a big elimination game coming up on Saturday. Here is an excerpt of a news clip about how GREAT our team is:

PAUL Roos says the Sydney Swans must replicate the intensity they showed against Hawthorn to give themselves a chance of beating Collingwood in Saturday's elimination final at the MCG.

Roos said he knows how good Sydney can be, especially after thrashing the Hawks by 72 points last week.

“Certainly last week the guys showed that their best is very, very good. And that gives everyone confidence when you know that you can put a very, very competitive team on the field and beat a team fourth on the ladder by 70-odd points.”

The Swans' confidence also stems from that fact that they played so well against Hawthorn without Tadhg Kennelly, who will miss out on the Collingwood clash due to a persistent knee problem.


So, we are cheering on our Sydney Swans. Sing along, everycat!
Cheer, Cheer the Red and the White
Honour the name by day and by night
Lift that noble banner high
Shake down the thunder from the sky
Whether the odds be great or small
Swans will go in and win over all
While her loyal sons are marching
Onwards to victory

I am very, very sorry that I cannot sing along. Because I am for the Geelong Cats. But your team seems like a good team, too!

Awesome! The Swans are one of the toughest teams in the league. They won the Grand Final in 05 and lost last year's final by just one point. They have a real chance... but they have to beat Collingwood tonight. We'll be watching the game with great interest. Good luck, ladies!!! Onwards to victory!

Um... I've got some bad news. The Swannies lost tonight, by 38 points. They fought hard, but Collingwood's defence were just too tough. Thanks so much for getting into the spirit of the finals, ladies. It means a lot that I can share my passion with kitties around the world.
