From my point of view I don't think they chocked as I never expected them to win.

They play most of their games on the much smaller SCG ground with 90% of the crowd behind them then they come to the larger MCG where Hawthorne play for most of the year.

I know the AFl are trying to give Sydney a leg up in Sydney but they are not doing them any favours when the GF is played on such a different ground and conditions and the ump did his very best by giving Buddy a free kick every time he went near the ball, but I couldn't believe how Sydney could be favorites, but thats just me.

Nah, the Swans didn't "chock".

They were just odds-on favourite with a skewed salary cap, and got smoked by 60-odd behinds. :sarcasm:

Consider changing your brand of anus-lube as I think it is impairing your ability to think clearly.
