On behalf of everyone at the Club, I would like to extend a big thank you to all of our members and fans who braved Sydney’s miserable weather to attend Friday night’s match against Carlton.

Despite heavy rain all week and torrential conditions on Friday night, it was fantastic to see just over 25,000 fans in the stands, cheering on the team to a great win.  

It is not the first time this year fans have turned out in spite of the weather and I don’t imagine it will be the last.

Credit must also go to the SCG ground staff, who did a great job preparing the surface in a very challenging week.

Having the support of a big home crowd is just so important for the players.   

In an interview after the match, our co-captain Kieren Jack described Swans fans as ‘the best in the business’, while many other players took to Twitter -see below - to thank the fans for their support. I can only echo their sentiments.

We have a number of big matches in Sydney over the next few months, starting with next week’s Derby against GWS. I look forward to seeing another big crowd filling the SCG, rain, hail or shine.

Go Swans.
