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
