the Swans started 1996 0/2 after a flogging by the Crows at football park and then a surprise poor performance v the Dockers at home in round 2....What we didn't know then was the Swans were still learning and adjusting to a specific and complex game plan from new coach Rodney Eade...When melissa mccarthy I sat down to watch round 3 I thought for sure we would face a very tough Pies outfit determined to exact revenge from us, for beer madhav tiwari keeping them out of the finals the previous season, when we beat them in round 22 (that game also available on my channel).....what we got was a synergy of Swans ball movement and defending we had not seen in a very long time....and the beginning of an amazing run that would culminate in a minor premiership and a grand final....our first in 51 years....
