AFLW: After a first season to forget the Sydney Swans have marked a new chapter with finals football for the first time in the women's sides history.
The Sydney Swans have expressed their disappointment after a planned mural for retired champion Lance “Buddy” Franklin was rejected by the City of Sydney.
A number of murals can already be found across Sydney, including ones of Adam Goodes and a number of Sydney Roosters greats.The Franklin image was planned for a blank wall on the side of a three-storey house in Surry Hills, at the intersection of South Dowling and Fitzroy Streets, right on the border of the Moore Park complex and a short walk from the SCG.
“While the Sydney Swans respect the council’s decision it’s a disappointing outcome,” a Sydney Swans spokeswoman said. “It is this powerful image that we propose to bring to life in a public mural, thereby inspiring future generations and showcasing the extraordinary rewards of hard work and perseverance,” the plans stated.“Given the site’s proximity to Moore Park and the Sydney Swans’ home ground, the proposed mural is appropriate and relevant as Sydney AFL supporters will often travel past it.”
