[The Machine]

How bad was the surface today Grounds in NSW are not to AFL standard.

How bad was the surface today Grounds in NSW are not to AFL standard.

In both games, players kept slipping near the boundary on the camera side where the old astroturf is. Dangerous too. Lucky no one did an ankle or knee slipping awkwardly on that crappy surface.

[Andyy]

Statistically you'd think we should have lost this game

[WilliamPowell]

Pathetic honest same rubbish every week no leaders and same mistakes every week.

Thought Nank was outstanding today

Ditto Jack R and in the last qtr.

Baker showed great leadership as did Taranto, Broad and a few others

[Francois Jackson]

Leaders stood up but only baker, balta, jack, TT.

Nank was okay and the Rest were average.

I can only go by what I saw at the game today

Will say it was worth making the trip

[PoppyTige]

Well, that was stressful! Such a relief to snag a close one.

Given our record on close games, was fully expecting him to spray it out on the full and the giants to go down the other end and win it lol

Sure would have been, considering the close losses over the last 2 years.
 
Seemed like we had more of the crowd as well on TV.

MMM very enthusiastic coverage.

ABC and AFL Nation a bit flat, didn't even give me a tingle.

Certainly was

Always more Tiger fans there than Giants

Same thing happens at the Gold Coast

[Gigantor]

On the radio earlier they were saying the crowd was a little over 9000. As we were discussing without AFL money how does a club like that survive long term?

They will never be able to survive without assistance
