In aisle 111 we couldn't have clapped our clappers or yelled any more...no voices today.....the atmosphere was great & I've been going to the footy for a long, long time.
Occupational hazards:
- animal psychic Amanda de WarrenI don't eat animals since discovering this ability. I used to. But one day the lamb I was eating came through to me and ever since then I haven't been able to eat meat.
I just watched a replay online - the crowd noise was amazing in the 4th! Even the usual Swans naysayer Sam Lane (who was at the game) and Scott Spits from Real Footy made a point of mentioning "how amazing the atmosphere" was and how "remarkable" the crowd was yesterday.
up the guts
A comment that tells what it was like for the players:
from: http://www.sportsnewsfirst.com.au/ar...finished-well/That intensity and ferocity of the contest throughout the last quarter was just amazing to be a part of.
The crowd was deafening towards the end and we could feel the atmosphere out on the ground. (Kieren Jack)
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Bird in a crystal ball)
I like Pyke.
From aisle 141, first quarter mostly quiet except on scores. Second quarter picked up and there was pretty good buzz going on. I actually blame the damned sun/shade dilemma. It was often hard to figure what was going on as our eyes kept adjusting.
No excuses in the third - it was a library as everyone was in despair. But, like most have said, the last 10 minutes was as loud as I've heard ANZ or SCG.
The thing is, the crowd doesn't ignite the players - they have to do something to lift the crowd first although we did get the sydney ... sydney drone going a couple of times when it was looking grim in the fourth.
I think the thing was Teasdale that the crowd was struggling to get into it in the 3rd/early 4th because it had looked like we really had blown it. We were getting hammered all around the ground, and a lot of people (me included) were just hoping and almost praying we could hang in there. Once we got the break through with the TDL goal after jesse's fantastic work, than the crowd sensed that the momentum had shifted and really got going after that.
I've watched a replay of the fourth quarter several times now -- and the intensity of the noise after TDL ties the score, ROK gives us the lead, TDL scores again, and finally the siren goes, is amazing.
It makes you wonder what it would have been like with a crowd of 50-60-70K people.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

Well, in Aisle 110 it was deathly quiet all game, though I did hear a whispered thank you as a repentent latecomer took his seat. Polite applause at the final siren and 3 people sang along with the club song.
