SYDNEY
Welcome home reception at the SCG
This event will only go ahead should the Sydney Swans win the 2016 AFL Grand Final. The event is free and will be held from 12.30pm to 3.30pm at the SCG, with a team presentation to take place at approximately 2.30pm. Entry to the SCG will be via Gate A on Driver Avenue.


Would have thought even in defeat a chance to mingle with the fans and thank them for their support would be nice. Lots of Vic based fans who rarely get to see them. They can do what they like of course, just think it's a shame and an opportunity lost to engage with the fans.

can understand Melb cancellation

Sydney on less so

 

[vanders]

From memory they did one in 2014 and not many people showed up.

Not much point having them if you lose, they didn't even sell out their GF ticket allocation ffs, who would turn up?

 

[KeilorUnder9s]

So good

 

[hawks787]

The first poor thread on this wasn't enough?

 

[jerry springer]

showing the true spirit of the bloods in defeat

How much was left over that they didn't sell to Swans?

 

[blue harvest]

How much was left over that they didn't sell to Swans?

Not sure on exact numbers, but the leftovers went on sale to Bulldog members on Wednesday.

 

[SterlingArcher]

A thread has been done on this. Well advertised beforehand. Not the first club to do so. Move on.

Kenny would be there!

 

[Bokonon]

Some classy posting about a ckub that lost a grand final today in this thread.

 

[noodle]

Meh. They know their audience. Sydney siders love a winner.

 

[Suma Magic]

What's an antonym for bandwagon?

 

[GWBogan]

What's an antonym for bandwagon?

Not the Bulldogs, that's for sure.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Good to see ur celebrating your clubs 2nd ever flag

Same number of AFL flags as Carlton

 

[Seedsfan]

Look no one celebrates losers the club did the right thing by cancelling it. It would be the last thing the players want to do

 

[Infra Ted]

Some WB posters already acting like entitled flogs *sigh*

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

At least your board locked from this rubbish. Our game day board from the final had to be shut down because of troĺls like this.
Commiserations anyway, Giants pretty new but I'm not and get how it feels to lose a GF. Plenty of young stars to kèep the club up there for a while though. Heeney worth the price of membership on his own in my view.

Thanks mate. Some astonishingly small-minded behaviour on display.

All the best for next year. I'm very proud of what my club achieved this year, and you should be rightly proud of yours too.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Even if they didn't apparently sell their allocation, or they had a poor turn out previously - still would have been a nice gesture for the fans who are loyal and wanted to show their support to the team. I'm sure there are still quite a few dedicated fans who would have wanted to go.

 

[Maddo11]

Not the first club to do it, wont be the last.
Bit of a non story really.

Awww poor lil sooky cola boys need to harden up

Mate your club is held up by the afl, if you didnt have cola you would be extinct

Like your club bought all your flags back in the 80s? Come back when youre relevant

Go eat a fat one

Feels good to troll when you got a flag behind you doesnt it? Enjoy it buddy

Geelong among others had a few that were well attended before they broke through. Maybe it's the product of an uncompromising culture - flag or GTFO.

Geelong made it a tradition.
