Swans deserved a standing ovation after Dogs game

That's what the vast majority of the Brewongle Stand thought anyway

Thats the sort of attitude i would expect at the SCG.There are no prizes for coming 2nd.
I remember a final in 97 when it was raining cats and dogs,where sections of that stand were bagging Plugger.Until the majority of Sydney based fans learn about AFL this will continue to happen.

So what?...If thats the way supporters want to support then so be it. Also I think the stereotype of a Sydney crowd knowing nothing is getting a little tired. Yes there was a certain lack of AFL knowledge in the early days but from my viewpoint the SCG crowd has improved in that area.

So I take it you were clapping, Al.

[TheGrimReaper]

I was too disappointed to clap.

Nah, I was heading to the car.

However if people want to clap then good on em.

[ScottH]

Nah, I was heading to the car.

That'd be right. Just after 3/4 time. Typical.

Agree totally.

No doubt they are not as vocal and umpire intimidating in their calls for 'balllllllllllll' as the likes of the Collingwood crowd, but they are nowhere near as clueless a crowd as the southern state fans would have us believe.

I expect the misguided criticism from Pie and Carlton scum, I just get a little disappointed when it comes from our own.

Trust me, there are plenty of clueless fans for all clubs in Victoria!!

They were actually clapped off at half time after a rather dreadful second quarter.

And how pathetic is that,what has happened to the Sydney chant going when we are in trouble,have you all forgotten up there.
I used to love that coming through the telly,or when i was there stirring stuff that must help pump the boys up.

I noticed that as well bedford, the crowd has become very passive of late in Sydney. It maybe time for the club to pump some money into the cheersquad up there and try and beef up their particpation numbers to get some strong vocal support going.
