Don't know why you guys are bothering to respond to the unfortunate person. Obviously not a Swans supporter and possibly a "Corporate" who had a freebie in 128. There were a few of them who had allegiances to other Codes but the ones nearby to me were all on their feet in the dying minute.
I was in 109. Yep , it WAS quiet at times.
But some inebriated nutter called Ricardo - never saw him before , but he's now my pal - was going mental .
We pooled resources and lifted the decibels when it mattered.
Do note that there were quite a few old people and young kids - every right to be at the game , but you can hardly expect them to be the most vocal , can you ?
Or the people from Mali , at their first-ever AFL game ?
Anyone see the portly old man with the magnificent white beard in 109 ?
No WAY we could get beat with SANTA on our side :-)
..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

I was in 106 and it was rocking. The Blue supporters were in 105 and every time they started a Carlton chant I got the whole Swans bay to drown them out. Meanwhile over in 107 Peter Hatley was doing his usual fine job of getting chants out loud and proud after every goal - and when we needed it in the last Q.
I just watched some of the game on TV and anyone who says the crowd wasn't into it should book either a television technician or a hearing check tomorrow.
How about as soon as TDL tackled in Q4 and 35,000 cried "BALL!!" - that reverberated around the ground like Cathy Freeman winning the 400M.
I was in 108 and I thought while it was quiet in the third quarter (Not much the crowd can do when class like Judd is on song), I thought it was electric in the last quarter especially. Its a tough ground to say the least to make atmosphere at, even with 42,000 its hard work due to the sheer size of it. But I thought the atmosphere was good.
