Well jod23 you were quite pissed at west coast for getting pumped by the Bulldogs in the finals but it's proving you could have lost to the 2016 premiers. West coast away, hawthorn at the G, Giants away, that's 3 cracking wins in a row.

Confidence will be sky high at the dogs, they now believe, will be a formidable force for years to come now, could be the start of something at the kennel.
Perhaps. Even so, we very rarely lose at Subi. It still annoys me now despite how well the Dogs are playing.

If they had beat us in a cracking game and got over the line by a point after we went toe to toe then I'd be ok with it. Taking nothing away from the Dogs who were terrific, we just never showed up, in a final... at home. It was so annoying.

He wasn't as bad as one of the chicks he was with.

Constantly standing up whenever the ball was at our end of the ground, constantly yelling "GO YOU BLOODY GIANTS" in a textbook bogan voice and constantly made the same HILARIOUS joke of "Shh shh everyone, we're at an AFL game sh I'm trying to watch the game". No joke, about ten times she did this.

Ugh.
Haha, in all honesty, this is a good thing (not you having to hear it though). Good to see there are some bogans that have taken up the game with pride in the area. They've adapted well, all teams have these supporters, so they're on the right track :$

I honestly have no idea. Maybe someone told her to shut the **** up and sit down and that's how she responded.

There was pretty heavy sarcasm on me calling it a joke. Or maybe not. She intended it to be a joke and her bogan friends laughed.

Anyway, the "restricted" view was because the sun set directly into our eyes, but that only lasted about 5 mins into the first quarter before it was behind the stands.
She must be a Wanderers fan

Did you like the media wankfest over Leicester last season?
Not particularly. I also don't like all the bandwagon supporters that have jumped on board either.

Isn't it embarrassing to have everyone love you because you've been deprived of success for so long?

Why would it be embarrassing?

What a story we have been. What an amazing and unbelievable ride for the fans and footy lovers.

Destroyed by injuries through the season and limp into 7th.

Win finals away to WCE, Hawks and the Giants. Yep, 3 of them.

Have apparently the second/third youngest team in the league.

24 months ago we were on our knees, players walking out(including our captian). Coach sacked and who knows whats going to hapoen.

Have lost the last 7 prelims we played.

Haven't made a GF since 61 and haven't had a flag since 54.

Im surprised that some on here (outside of Swans fans) are getting offended by this. Maybe they secretly hoped our tragic history would continue.

Because you've not made a GF in 5 decades, people love the underdog. I really hope my club never gets to that.

I've got nothing against the club or their supporters and certainly wouldn't feel bad if they won. But the media are absolutely over the top with ramming everything Bulldogs down our throat. Can't wait to hear about what a good guy Bob Murphy is all bloody week. :rolleyes:

I know eh? You'd think he would be more appreciative after all the love Leicester got last season Spurs fans aside.
Why? What difference does it make? The true supporters deserve the success, not the average Joe that thinks it makes a nice narrative.

Why does it matter to you Jatz if neutral fans are backing the dogs and getting behind them? What a story it's been, people are just happy to see them get there and it's refreshing, up the doggies I say!!!!

Media is the media, half the time they sprout shit, they're going to be all over the dogs this week but again, who cares.

It doesn't. Conversely, why does it matter I'm supporting the Swans?
