Interesting survey... I'm guessing Collingwood were left out of the survey so as to not skew the results too much

I think Collingwood is there..you have to pay $4950 for the complete results of what each team supporters like. That is $4950 per team.

According to that, fellow Cider drinkers come from Adelaide

Eddie would be spitting chips if he read this

...In Franklin's first year wearing red and white, the club has signed a record number of members - reaching and exceeding 40,000 for the first time. On grand final eve, Roy Morgan circulated study findings showing Sydney, for a ninth consecutive year, was the AFL's "most widely supported club". Not only that, but with the Swans having 1.135 million supporters, the survey said there was daylight between the competition leader and next best, Collingwood, with 739,000. The figures, measured in the period July 2013-June 2014, had this year's other grand final combatant, Hawthorn, ranked 10th with 448,000 supporters...

Tom Mitchell wants to stay in Sydney, turning down a lucrative advance from Carlton

OUT-OF-FAVOUR Swan Tom Mitchell has turned down an advance from Carlton, saying he is determined to win a regular senior spot in the Sydney midfield next season.

Mitchell, 21, confirmed he would not entertain trade offers despite another “frustrating” year during which he played only six senior games.

The hard-nut onballer topped the Blues’ midfield wish-list after another dazzling season in the NEAFL, averaging 31 possessions, seven clearances, five tackles and one goal a game.

But Mitchell, who put on a brave face as an emergency in the Swans’ Grand Final team, said he would use the continued selection heartbreak to drive himself to greater heights in the pre-season.

Be reasonable khun BM don't go drinking the kool-aid again, remember what happened last time

They can have Reid, they'll need a decent replacement for Frawley

Being a loyal Swans supporter all I can say is GO THE SWANS

The other good news, if the Swans win, I will have picked all the winners in the final series.

Good morning trendsetters... Well the stage is set for an absolutely ripping GF today! Looking at the MCG, phwoar, picture post card perfect!

Forget Christmas, this is the best day of the year!

As long as the the nuclear maggots don't have too much of a say in the outcome of todays game it should should be a cracker!

GO SWANS!

The umpires.

They used to have a nickname of 'white maggots' but their shirts were changed from white to the now fluorescent yellow.

Yellow being the nuclear symbol color

This is pathetic from the Swans 61-21 only half the way through the 2nd quarter

I'm calling it Hawthorn's game

Awful stuff from Sydney. Have they made 10 tackles yet??

Embarrassing.....

EDIT" That says it all...Kick in..Mcgylnn doesn't attack the ball. Intercept,, goal to Hawthorn

It'll have to be a big turn around for Sydney to win from here.

Awful viewing for Swans supporters up to half time

Only players standing up for Sydney are Franklin and Malceski.

The rest of the Swans should hold their heads in shame

I think Kennedy has been pretty good.

No run from the Swans with Rohan and Jetta 1 kick each.

I know Jetta copped a knock, but he's shown no intensity whatsoever.

Let's hope the Swans the Swans come out in the 3rd and kick a bag.

Gees bookman i stuck my neck out for your team.....mate if they dont come out breathing fire in the first 10 min of the third you can kiss your your 10 million lance bucks down the drain.

Well done to Hawthorn. Very well played and its only just in the last quarter

Buddy was one of the few highlight for the Swans IMO.

Sydney finished on top and Buddy won the Coleman

so I think he earned his money and the trade was a success.

Unfortunately the Swans didn't give a yelp in the GF.

I tipped the hawks

See Will won the finals tipping on a margin of 4 points. Thought I had him.

That was horrid stuff. Certainly wont be watching that game ever again.

Buddy could have kicked 8 goals, if only he had more of the ball coming into him.

That's a Duck mate.

Close but not quite

Same same....Thai's wouldnt know the difference......my man lance might have done this and that but at the end of the day.............no second prizers, for 10 million the Swans need to snare a couple at the very least flags over the next 3 or 4 years.

Anyway the best part of the season soon begins....come on trade week.

You can take the boy out of Collingwood but you can't take the Collingwood out of the boy
