I think we actually lose a lower percentage of our regular crowd numbers than a lot of teams do when we are hanging around at
the bottom of the ladder, which is fortunately not very often. This thing that Sydney fans are more fickle than the fans of the southern
state teams is BS and part of some southern fantasy about footy, one of many they cling limply to.

Yes, just lazy media personalities pushing the same old tired lines. I really used to get irritated by comments over the years like "The Sydney crowd actually understand the rules now" when we were calling "BALL!!!"
Interesting to see at the SCG over the weekend that when an Essendon player was pinged for holding the ball, no one in the crowd was calling for it. The interpretations are so inconsistent that I feel like we actually don't know when to call for it anymore.
