Swans v Suns Match Thread 12 Aug23 SCG

[Blood Fever]

Was at that game sitting next to two lunatic Essendon supporters. I only go to watch Swans Bomber games at the MCG where there is more space. By the way, we should have won that 2011 game. Kicked poorly for goal. Goodes was sensational that night.

Agree with all that. My scariest moment was at Vic Park in 1986, when we came from 5 goals down early in the last to win the game after Barry Mitchell received a balant push in the back fee against Shane Kerrison (Pies crowd screamed ball!!!).

Crowd were very hostile post match. Umpires & players had to be escorted off the ground by horse mounted police. Cans were thrown at them & first time i recall TV footage being used by police to lay charges.

I had to hide my Swans scarf & beanie to make safe exist.

I never go to venture out to Windy Hill, as it seemed even more intemintary than Vic Park. .

I was also at that game. I was primary school age so I can't remember too much, but I do remember us winning after a free and I remember the police on horses. It was the only time my dad took me to Victoria Park, (I wonder why!). He never took me to Windy Hill.
