[@athlonen]

@@Bellas1717 We AFL fans got him early on that one (I'm American, and have been following the game since the mid 1990s). Rob started reacting to Rugby umpires/referees since Rob is a soccer referee, then we told him about the AFL, and how someone thought he could be a cousin of Razor Ray. that got him looking at AFL umpires, then he saw a match, picked a team, and here we are. We're hoping he can get some time with Ray or even someone like a Matt Stevic, or someone from the umpires association.

Side note: Fun fact for those of us here in the US. The club song for Sydney is the same melody as the fight song for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, so you're not missing anything if you think you've heard it before.

[@Streetw1s3r]

Most AFL team songs actually rip off old melodies. My team Richmond use Ziegfeld follies of 1912 - Row Row Row, Essendon use an old time song called "Keep your sunny side up", Brisbane Lions use the French national anthem, etc.

[@athlonen]

@@Streetw1s3r I get Collingwood having theirs to the tune of Goodbye, Dolly Gray, and Hawthorn having theirs to Yankee Doodle Dandy, and Melbourne to Grand Old Flag... I don't know what the hell Carlton was thinking, especially in rejecting an offer to change their song because of its background.. But for Rob here, I couldn't help but sing cheer Cheer the Red and the White along with the crowd. That's footy!!

[@utha2665]

The Notre Dame Fighting Song was actually written by two alumni brothers in 1908 for Notre Dame and this song was only adapted in 1961, prior to that it was a Gene Autry song "Springtime in the Rockies". Not sure how that would have sounded after a game but the original sounded pretty tame, a ballad of sorts.

[@JoTheSnoop]

Notre Dame March is often heard in the classic comedy movie Flying High, starring Leslie Nielsen.

[@samcgill]

You summed it up really well. Swans were up and had a very healthy lead then it all went bad for 45 minutes. If the game went an extra 30 seconds I'm not sure we would have held on. And then being there when the siren and the roar tell you it's over is very special. Welcome to the best game in the world.

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Rob, at the end, you looked like you’d been following Aussie rules since you were a kid and had been to stacks of games for years. I thought you were going to cry with joy at the end.

[@doc6186]

As a Magpie supporter for over 60 years it was a dagger through the heart, and your video wasn't an easy watch. I'm proud of my team however. They never gave it away and fought it out to the end. It follows the 5 point loss in the 2018 GF and 4 point loss in the 2019 Prelim. Ahh the pain! Well done to the Swans. I'm glad for you that you saw a great game and was on the right side of the ledger at the end after coming all that way. Best of luck in the Granny.

[@losfp]

Not a bad game to go to as your very first experience, Rob. Thrilling finish, and the biggest crowd at the SCG since the Sydney v Essendon final in 2017. In fact, the two Collingwood games this season at the SCG are at #3 and #4 on the all-time crowd record list at the SCG. The game moves so quickly, and momentum can shift at lightning pace. I certainly never felt comfortable, even when we were up by around 6 goals earlier in the match. Collingwood were always going to come at us. Thankfully they didn't quite get over the line! You only need to win by a point.

[@karenb9787]

Wow! Congratulations for the video and conveying the atmopsphere. I first visited the SCG in 1953 as a 7yo school kid along with 'millions' of other school kids to see Queen Ellizabeth 11 on her first visit to Oz. All I saw was a white glove waiving gracefully above al the heads in front of me, however.....I was at the SCG and experienced the absoluie awe of the stadium. OK! It is not the 'G' in Melbourne, but for me it always will be a special place and I will sadly miss that "waiving" white glove driving away forever in her Land Rover. Welcome to Oz! Perhaps you two should think about changing post codes. We live in a very comfortable country, you know...........

[@kerricappy4890]

You know that a good many of those Swannies supporters are actually from Melbourne. The Swans were once South Melbourne and the allegiance doesn't die. It's passed down through the generations. Many of them travelled up with the Collingwood supporters. You'll find in the GF this week the crowd will likely be half & half. I'm from Melbourne & I will be going for the Swans (even though I'm a Tigers supporter).

[@trikkimick]

It's an absolute tragedy this game doesn't get more recognition overseas. The AFL really dropped the ball through COVID, this was the only professional league that ran through it and they didn't capitalise. 25 years ago played for Wimbledon Hawks with a bunch of Aussie expats and mad Irishmen (2 Premierships!!), and then played for England (dual citizen, we got slaughtered by the Swedes!) and I still see nothing has changed. Makes me sad. :(

[@toby9999]

It's fuelled by a kind parochialism. It's very Australian and especially very Victorian. Outside of Australia it's nothing. As I commented elsewhere, most kiwis (who are football mad) think of Aussie rules as just another rugby code and shrug their shoulders. I did the same until I saw the game on tv then thought WTF. I suspect the game has little appeal other than it being a cultural thing. I mean it is quite bizzare watching footballer's who look more like basket ballers almost killing each other to get the ball then immediately kicking it away, over and over and over. I don't see the appeal personally but it is great for the local fans obviously.
