    The most consistent thing I've seen in Sydney Swans fandom is the ability of fans to be critical of other fans because they don't cheer the same way.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    I clap good play by the opposition - I guess I'm not a real fan?

    I do the same. I'm a football fan that follows the Swans, it makes sense to applaud good football.

    Only if you can clap whilst tearing up your membership.

    I will clap a point when there is good build-up play, for the build up not the single point.

    But feel free to belittle me and non existence knowledge of the game.

    Thank God I'm not in the vast majority.

    I'm one of those who left the ground after the final siren, but before the swans left the ground.

    Losses shouldn't get a standing ovation.
    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.

    Ok feel belittled!!

    A point in close games can be as beneficial as a goal. For instance on Sunday if Eagleton had of missed the final goal of the game to give the Dogs a 13 point lead, it really would have snuffed out any hope the swans then had of at least forcing a draw. To score 3 times in 2 minutes is a tougher ask then 2 times in 2 minutes. So I'll applaud a behind at those points.

    I chew on it so it is moist and disintegrates.

    Get stuffed, this is patronising finger wagging nonsense. This thread should be in the sandpit. Having been to many Swans games in Melbourne I think Swans supporters in Melb are quieter than in Sydney, but I dont raise it is a criticism.
