The man inside the Cyggy suit (in Melbourne) is a Hawks supporter

The crying swan: the Hawks fan inside the Sydney mascot suit ? mojo

You?d have been forgiven for thinking that as the Swans steamrolled the Hawthorn Hawks in the dying moments of the thrilling 2012 AFL Grand Final, the man behind Cyggy would also have been going bananas.

Campbell, though, is a diehard Hawks supporter.

The irony of the situation is enough to make you laugh.

At first, Campbell was laughing too. When he realised his two teams would be facing off on footy?s biggest stage, he simply saw a way to overcome a Hawthorn member?s uncertainty about scoring a Grand Final ticket.

?I thought: ?How good?s this? There?s a really good chance I?m going to get some free tickets here!?? Campbell says.

But by the final siren on Saturday, this ?extremely passionate? Hawthorn fan was feeling less enthusiastic.

The words ?numb? and ?disbelief? are mentioned. ?Not fun? is used to describe Sydney?s last-quarter comeback.

Luckily for Campbell, Cyggy wasn?t required to roam the boundary during the game. One can only imagine having to celebrate wildly in a giant swan outfit while fighting the urge to sob uncontrollably

Scandalous!

On another note, and if it's you and you read this I apologise in advance, but how crap is the Cyggy in Sydney? With how he moves you'd think they're getting Kenny to don the suit.

Poor chap.
Here's hoping for more grief.

We have already noted Sydney Cyggie, and reckon its a girl/woman. Can dance, but.....not a real Cyggie??

Sydney Cyggy is downright embarrassing and as for dance cam, the less said about that the better.

Whoah! That is serious irony!!!

What do u guys expect Sydney Cyggy to actually do? He's obviously supposed to appeal to the younger kids and I guess he/she doesn't need to be particularly spectacular to do that.

How long do you get from the end of the reserves match to get the suit on before you have to be out on the ground yourself?

I think it's hilarious! Thanks for posting

Stacking the scooter more often would be a good start.....
