Crowds like this only encourage the AFL to give us more crappy Sunday games against interstate clubs. Not to mention more home games at Etihad plus trips down to Kardinia Park and alike. Fair enough if people are working or sick but it's just not a case of people not being able to make it each and every week when only half our membership turns up  :P. The MCC were expecting 30k and we did get 30k against the Eagles at the 'G who would attract a similar crowd to the Crows normally.

And just on theweather - it is a winter sport for crying out loud. It was at the MCG and there is plenty of undercover seating

Poor effort by Tiger fans yesterday IMO

Ease up x! I don't think MT is having a go at you; or those that work, go to weddings, live interstate and the like! I think he is having a go at those who just couldn't be bothered turning up!

supporters are generally pretty good at tigerland. I'd imagine WP that parents with young kids may have chosen to stay at home.
If you want to bag things that don't deliver at Tigerland the supporters would be a long way down the list.



It's that simple Spud

Yep I go to our home games as I only have a 11-game membership. Sure it's impossible at times to get to games and work, sickness, weddings/funerals, finances, etc are of course perfectly valid reasons for not being able to go. But those reasons are there every week and don't cause half our membership to not show up at once. We've had 1pm starts before and still got a decent crowd. Not going because it might be cold and wet or because we've been flogged the past 2 weeks and have key players out or because we're not playing a big 4 club is a bit soft. I fear what our round 22 crowd will be against Port  :help. Hopefully being the last chance to see live footy for six months will help boost the crowd.

ps. did you have a hidden radio and earpiece in your suit pocket at the wedding X?

Priest: If anyone has any objections as to why Dusty Rose and Antony should not be married speak now or foreverr hold your peace?

[Martin kicks a goal to put the Tiges in front]

X: Yessssssssssss Dusty I love ya you legend!
