      Dont worry RWO people. I've just seen a Swans legend in the Virgin Lounge tonight awaiting a delayed flight.

            I have lived in ADL since the great year of 2005, the day after the grand final and nursing a major hangover, I ventured to the local cafe with the wife to celebrate the events of the previous day. Sitting in the cafe all i heard from other tables was how "unlucky" ADL were to not win the GF cause of West coast. Nobody could manage a "well done" to Sydney, all they could talk about was the one that got away.

            Adelaide itself it not a bad place its just a shame its infected with Crows supporters. Funniest thing about Crows supportes is they think port supporters are "feral" ask any neutral supporter who ventures to AAMI and they will tell you when the Crows are losing they are the most "feral" supporters in the AFL.

              Hear hear! I've been stuck here since '95. the only thing worse than the freezing cold windy cauldron of AAMI stadium is the 40000 ignorant ferals who infest it. Shift the Victorian border 400km west, remove the Crows supporters (relocate them to GWS or Perth?), rename Adelaide "Greater Western Melbourne" & the footy might be great

                Well lets hope they end up particularly feral tomorrow!

                  Watched the video, thought it was hilarious! It wasn't brilliant, but it was certainly meant in good fun.

                    Good on em. Nothing but passion for their team which I can't criticise. The Swans boys would have enjoyed it I'm sure; nothing like the feeling of finals in the air to get you up.

                    Siege mentality anyone?

                      Yep. Funny and done in the right spirit.

                      I could imagine if the Collingwood cheer squad tried something like that, they'd just end up hurling abuse.

                        Makes it easy to understand why a few on this site found it funny.

                          Reading the comments on that link it's fair to assume the Crow supporters aren't particularly impressed.

                            Great footage of the soft haired barbarian at the end there.

                              Good clean fun - pleased that they had the words of the song. (Would have been embarrassing if they had forgotten them!)

                              (Also doubt the pie's supporters would have been as pleasant!)

                                In South Australia , you have to remember the game is in their blood. It is played in every country town, at every family gathering and in all aboriginal communities. They were long suffering underdogs to the bully dogs from Melbourne, who poached most of their talent from the SAFL until the Crows were formed.
                                Their only form of revenge used to occur at State of Origin, when they occasionally beat Victoria it sent them into a Nirvana they had never experienced.
                                The Crows became their weekly State of Origin, although they hated their marque players then being poached from their tribal suburban clubs.
                                They don't understand evil Sydney. Many of them have never been.
                                A visit to the airport to contemplate it is indeed an exciting experience.
                                To have the gall and bravado to go out there to sing their song to the evils invading their space will celebrated across the length and breadth of South Australia.
