"There's no home crowd advantage this time, we're not going to get 80,000 screaming Collingwood fans against us," Paul said.Sydney cheer squad members Sue Whitfield and Bernice Skerly were buzzing with excitement ahead of the game, and quietly confident that the Swans would be able to win the premiership.Helen Jurisice travelled down from Sydney to support her Swans, who she has supported for the past 20 years.
