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.

Only thing to compare is maybe Liverpool vs ManU or Barecelona vs Real Madrid. The fact the Swans fans clapped Collingwood off after the players had gone to thank their fans for support. Simple respect for a worthy opponent. Well done Swans fans.

    As a Pies supporter I was pretty happy with the effort, glad we put on a show for you. That game was a great example of all the best things AFL has to offer, the massive swings in momentum, a blow out lead clawed back, grim defending and fast pace breaking of defensive lines. A heart stopping ending and that elation at the end. No other game like it. I hope the Grand final can try and live up to that finish, because if you thought the SCG was a crazy atmosphere at the end, just wait for 100,000 at the MCG in a nail biter, you'll notice the players look confused as they can't hear each other or the refs.

      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.

    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.

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.

    FIRST!!! I have been waiting for this all Morning! I'm hoping the Swans win the Granny, I've been supporting them this whole finals series, but not just because of that. But for you, Rob. It'd be even better if you were to get Tickets and you go and they win it! Sucks you prob wont get tickets now. Anyway keep up the good work, love the vlogs

    Welcome to Australia and Rob and Charlie.
    That was an intense game especially at the end with the Pies in the groove for the chase down on the Swans. I suspect my partner had a few heart attacks in that last quarter thinking the Swannies were going to give up the ghost in the dying minutes. Nail biters on the eve of the big dance are very scary but exciting at the same time. You'll never forget you first experience.

    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).

    As a Saints fan, I'm more than happy to see Collingwood loose, and by one point no less! Painful! 😊 However, their brand of 2022 football has my sincere respect; fast, high pressure, risk taking and dangerous. The Swans were fortunate the game wasn't two minutes longer.
