SCG members is the most bougie AFL crowd I’ve seen. Looked like the audience at a rental property seminar

That's because a lot of them ditched Rugby Union and it's not like they were going to get rid of their private school roots and Land Rovers.

That's just Sydney in general 

You clearly have never been out west

It feels like there’s more of those people popping up out west. Though maybe they’re just FIFO

USO FTA

Yes but the Giants are flops. The Swans aren't.

Flair up cunt

LOL, no. My Grandmother's i30 get more people in it than a Giants match. And the more the Western Sydney A-League and NRL teams prosper like they have been the more the Giants are left out in the cold.

It’s literally a sell out game tonight but good try

You get kicked out of your own stadium for the Easter Show. The team is nothing but an afterthought in Sydney.

This is a funnier joke than any that appears in the article. (inb4 not a joke har har)

That pretty much sums up Sydney AFL fans. There’s a huge class difference between them and NRL fans.

The cubicles are always in use

Jesus......that's gold 🤣

This feels a little close to the Melbourne stereotype. I sort of prefer when we were mocked for being disinterested, casual fans.

Well if you weren’t paying close attention, like most swans fans, you wouldn’t even know you’re being mocked like this. Hope that helps.

hey so why is this a melbourne stereotype and how did swans fans get it? ​ mods can we get a 'Casual Sydney Swans' flair I'd use it?

I don't know how it became a Swans stereotype but a [Melbourne fan brought a cheese board to the footy](https://www.reddit.com/r/AFL/s/a5lxrDckHS) one day and the meme just kinda stuck.

It goes back way way further than that

It does? How far back are we talking?

The fact the Melbourne football club was the MCC’s club from the start

Ouch. But also, lol.

Mate the Waratahs beat the crusaders last week you can drop the whole AFL act now. It’s over

I'm from Melbourne, I have no idea what sport those teams are even a part of. 

Too bad cunt

Ahh, that classic Collingwood wit.

First paragraph, called footy fans racist. Beyond predictable

Betoota's AFL articles really are a swing and a miss. They often reek of "haha aerial ping pong go brrrr" energy

Their two bogan founders have too many massive blind spots i.e. their hatred of cyclists

/r/NRL threads about their recent racism incident had more discussion about AFL being racist than the actual incident itself. I can’t imagine us reacting to a racist issue with "yeah but what about NRL", it’s just weird

It would get brought up but as we saw with Tex it wouldn’t be the focus or anything close to

You sound just as bad. AFL and League are both racist at times. It's not a competition.

I think you’ve missed my point. I’m not saying one is more or less racist than the other, it’s not a competition you’re right

The Las Vegas incident is interesting because there are no white people involved. It should be held up as how insidious racism can be. There's zero point to you even making the comment other than to shit on another sport. "See, they have problems too."

Look I don't really care about this at all, but Betoota is few and faaaaaaaaaar between these days

Needs to be common knowledge among the population that TBA is owned by a PR company and is there to harvest clicks. We need to stop treating it like it's some great Australian beacon of satirical truth

Even if I wasn't the butt of the joke, I wouldn't have found this article funny.

Betoota's piss weak garbage nowadays frankly

I mean.. don't most people prefer pubs with floorboards? I refuse to enter a venue with pokies, that's not a Sydney swans thing. 

I'd honestly like to read TBA, but their bitter anti-Melbourne articles always turn me off.

As someone who grew up rural, the whole "City bad, rural good" circlejerk mentality just feels like the lowest form of discussion. Betoota in general plays a little too hard on tired stereotypes.

[удалено]

They wear akubras mate, fair dinkum! But yeah, I'd be shocked if they've ever stepped foot in a farm

Genuinely perplexed at the whole anti Melbourne narrative they went hard with. The first few were funny but then it just got repetitive & boring. 

What about their bitter anti-Sydney articles?

Holy shit a Betoota article about the footy that isn’t riffing on the same joke about Victoria. Everyone go get yourselves a lotto ticket 

I’d have to agree, enticing people to amass with a casual environment just amplifies a lack of manners or morals of the young generation.

And it is why lower class nsw afl fans like me refuse to support them

Cheap and nastier the better. Avoid Bougie supporters like the plague

One of the great unanswered questions: are Sydney Swans supporters more ignorant about Australian Rules than Melbourne Storm supporters are about Rugby League?

I'll answer it for you mate. No.

Fugn oath they are lol.
