Sorry, Sydney, I think it’s my fault you lost the AFL grand final | Patrick Lenton

The Sydney Swans lost to the Brisbane Lions in the AFL grand final on Saturday .

It's a good chance that thanks to the loss I'll never see my family again.

I'm used to being a kind of cursed AFL figure in my family.

I endured a few years as the black sheep (or perhaps black swan) of the family, dragged along to every home game until I was finally old enough to be left at home.
