This raw after today but, sat near this Swans fan that was so smug and arrogant all he did was bag our players, our supporters and and thought the umpires gave Sydney the rough end of the stick.

Every time Buddy and Aliir got the ball he was calling them absolute champions

Like Geelong I’m tired like all of us losing to this mob. Frustrated now having a beer

Come On Dees

Fair enough too we are soft as butter. We dont deserve respect

He can be as arrogant as he likes.  Winners are grinners, we are just a sad bunch of losers

I agree with them.. any club deserves arrogance it is them.., our problem is we are arrogant and have no right to be!! 

This guy just never gave it a rest even with there success they have had as a fan it just rubs salt in the wound, I pretty sure most opposition clubs fan hate other sides fans

That's what happens when you only have 20 players and beat a team with 22. Only the Demons can do that. I am just waiting for the day that we can be arrogant but now 65 and don't know how long I can wait

Had an arrogant 'bloods' old codger behind me in the members. Was at it all day. As I left he said "good luck in tge finals loser"...I flicked his cap off his head and left. I bloody hate arse houses like that 

I definitely would have thrown poo at him.

Jeeez . . . how about that. 

Ever thought he might be right on a couple of these points?

The swans fans that were around us were actually pretty good, didn't need to bag us, our players were pathetic enough.

The Swans won away, with only half a bench, against a team who only needed opne win to make finals, and THEY are arrogant??

We got what we deserved, and so did the Swans.

Dont whine that we were not good enough. We werent.

Sometimes the truth hurts.

 

 

One day, after we've won 6 or 7 flags in a decade, I'd like to be that arrogant. 

I'm glad it wasn't just me who sat near some absolute smug git swans. That said, I was in Sydney.

The combination of cluelessness and entitelment is particularly galling.

I expect by then we'll be widely seen as the custodians of the deeper soul of football, using our extreme ability to play a graceful and tough style and using our overwhelming footy-political influence to prevent idiot rule changes and to drive support for the lower tier competitions.

Hmm, I guess that's pretty arrogant too, but at least we wont be spoiling it for others, because they'll feel good just knowing they've put up a good showing against the greatest team of all time. And we'll still clap their good play, because that's the proper way, ol' chap.

 

What do you expect? A merit certificate for participation.

They have every right to be arrogant.

You have alluded to your ability in this regard on a number of occasions Ethan and, I must say, such high level skills are laudable.

However, it begs the question about the supply of  …. err … ammunition. Do you carry, shall we say, a magazine or is there some spontaneity  involved?

Simple comeback to those types is how do they feel about a team from another city thay deserted them. They hate the concept and it just makes them angrier.

It can also apply to smartarse lions supporters when appropriate.  It doesnt matter for suns or gws as those teams are artifical constructs.

If youve ever spent considerable time in sydney you'll realize how irrelevant the club is in the greater scheme up there.

That would be 70,000 members irrelevant with the ability to attracted the best players in the game? Mmmmmmm..............

I’m lactose intolerant so I scull a litre of milk and wait a few minutes. Fresh is best.

Arrh thank you. I thought there was a trick to it.

You meet numpties from every club.

When we beat the Puddies in Geelong three years ago, their supporters said 'Well done!' and let it be. Three years later we are punching on with them.

Only club I haven't met a good supporter from is Hawthorn. Mostly because they have sat mostly through 40 years of success and haven't had to sit through the poo we have team resulting in a supporter base with all the moral fibre of a policeman in Sydney during the 70's.

I ran that argument around the 3rd quarter. Asking him whether he'd followed the bloods in the 90s and how it must be fantastic to follow a team who imports all their marquee players. Sydney is a plastic club with a boring game style. But I still hate copping it as you walk out. Lowest way of giving someone a serve

This is a club that is used to playing finals year after year. There is a general feeling of expectation and they know they can get it done. Much like Hawthorn, a lot of their fans are usually quite confident of knocking us off whenever they play us. We on the other hand are not even close to this mentality. We go into games like this feeling nervous and if we’re honest pretty unsure if we can even do it. Mate we even go into Gold Coast games with half an eye on the doomsday scenario! There’s the difference.

Finals are expected and something that just happens for them, hell even premierships are something that just ‘happens’. Much different philosophy to us.

There's only one remedy, and that's to win. Too bad our players & coaches haven't thought of that yet.
