Am I a bad fan???

[dendol]

if you were at the game instead of on your couch, you would have left to try to beat the traffic. So yes, that makes you a bad, fickle fan.

[Lohengrin]

A disgraceful fan. You shouldn't be watching from home to start with - you should fly to every game. And if you are at home (logic optional) then you should remain watching even if your house is burning down.

Silly fan.

I missed the game because of a cold. Wifey wanted to watch Foxtel so I settled for delay on computer telly. When Freo kicked goal for lead, I made executive decision to check out final result. We won, but down by 14 at late stage. Turned back and watched last bit in full enjoyment.

Had we lost. Olympics!

I don't blame you. Being that close to losing against Fremantle is embarrassing for any team.

I was watching the swans game against freemantle, they were down by 12 with 5 minutes to go. Pavlich marks and that was the time I decided to change the channel cos I couldn't take it anymore, I was swearing and yelling out that they deserve what they're getting, that they don't deserve to play finals... anyway 3 minutes later I accidentally press "back" on my foxtel remote and went back to fox 1, I couldn't believe Sydney was up by 5 points. I missed the 3 goals they kicked and I felt bad about it. i saw Bevans mark, i'm telling you guys he is going to be a gun.

Am I bad fan to change the channel that way?

Mate, I did exactly the same thing, except I could never not flick back. I switched back on just as Goodes kicked another to put us within 8. Was just really frustrating the manner in which Freo got a lot of their goals on Saturday night, a LOT of snaps and fall-behind-the-pack type goals. I don't think we played that badly, but was very frustrating.

[SassySwan]

I have NEVER left a game early. Whether we are winning or losing by 10 goals. NEVER, EVER!
Have we not learned with our team that it's not over til the siren sounds? Bloods Determination!
Bad Fan, Very bad fan!!

[shaun..]

Bad fan.
Bad.

I learnt my lesson at the Geelong Sydney SF in 2005.
At three quarter time I had the @@@@s badly and I wanted to go home, but my friend wouldn't let me. He wanted to stay and watch the whole game - even if we were losing.

Well, lucky he made me stay. I would have missed Davo's goals that put us into contention for the 2005 Granny.

A lesson well learnt.

I turned the tele off after the 3rd quarter, what a poor decision that was

On topic, not a bad fan.. I was pretty devastated after Pavlich's mark but stayed for the rest of the game

Indeed. Your face must be a permanent shade of red?

[connolly]

I don't blame you. Being that close to losing against Fremantle is embarrassing for any team.

Can only imagine the humiliation at actually being beaten by them.

[stellation]

Someone rang me after the game and accused me of not being ARF as I left my seat in the MAN at about the 20 minute mark of the 4th quarter and watched the rest of the game in the Ladies stand

NARF! If you don't want strange phone calls don't give me your number

Yes had the same person rung me with that diatribe he would have copped an absolute gob full back from me. As Ange and I left together Ange ran around to the ladies stand I was watching the telly at the back of the SCG members - problem was this old bloke kept yelling at me - I had to politely tell him to shut up as I couldnt hear the radio commentary. Then finally the siren went and it was off to the bus (and that stupid woman who said that we would beat Geelong by 65 points!)!!!

[pinoy]

Yes I am a bad fan but can you blame me. But in my defense I sat through all of the 2005 Pre Lim game v Geelong game and the game this season v West Coast.

What's funny is that AFL.com.au must have known I turned off when Pav took that mark because they have a replay of the last 5 minutes of the game on their site from when Pav is about to kick the point... hehe, thanks AFL.com.au

You are not a bad fan. You were just letting your frustrations boil over. Understandable given the importance of the match & the phlegmatic opponent we were playing. I was physically sick in that last quarter as well. Had B52s in my stomach even at the end of the game, even though I was elated we won.

The bad fans were the ones who bought memberships but didn't turn up against Freo because we have been losing of late. The crowd looked horrendous on the TV; wouldn't have been much over 20000 by the look of things.

It is amazing how (some) Sydney people seem to think that following a team that has lost a couple is somehow bad for their image, thus giving them a reason to find 'something better to do'. What about sticking things out for when things come good.

I'll only miss a game if I'm hospitalised (or if my brother decides to get married again).

I've turned down heaps of invitations to things like weddings and parties because they've fallen on the same day as a home game. People should check the calendar before they make party plans!!

I admit my nerves were shot to bits - that is why I left with Ange - however we were watching it down stairs - so we saw the finish and total and it was a huge relief!
