Meltdown North Melbourne Invented Friday Night Football

How dense can you be?

Says the guy who has been lapping up the “expansion” excuse for 20 years

Docklands took 2.5 years to build. Optus less than 3 and both hold more than what KP will when finished. They’re also ovals

Pipe down 12thlong, you 10 flag minnows

Pipe down 12thlong, you 10 flag minnows

To group Collingwood's last four flags you have to go back to 1958, little old Geelong as recent as 2007. But I do get it, imagine being brought up to revere and worship a cricket ground, only for some rural team down the highway to be the most successful club this century, all of which success was achieved at said cricket ground.

It's your backyard, but when we rock up you're shunted into the corner while we do as we please, and then we head back to our own home ground that you've helped fund.

North Melbourne may have invented the Friday night game, but they perfected the 4:40pm Sunday minnow time slot!

How dense can you be? That's literally the reason why our ground is being expanded, again. Before our home game average is brought down by the lower capacity we sat alone at the top as recent as this year. Objective and irrefutable proof - more people in Melbourne want to watch Geelong than they do their Melbourne franchises.

The Draw Card. The Big Show. Under 75k and we don't head up the highway, AFL and Vic Govt know this, they pay us for the privilege.

LOL!

cherry-pick much?
statistics dont really work when you have a sample pool of 2 games.
not to mention both games were played at the MCG against real AFL teams...

oh and an added bonus to all non-cats supporters, you LOST both games

We only play two home games at the MCG, this is the data we've got to work with. The stats show that when we play at the biggest stadium in the country we pull the biggest numbers.

West Coast = biggest club in Perf (think they're the biggest club in the country)
Collingwood = biggest club in Melbum (think they're the biggest club in the country)
Geelong = actually the biggest club in Australia

Now feel free to squabble over 2nd place, just like the rest of the comp can squabble over who's the 2nd most successful club this century behind little old Geelong.

so you like to ignore the fact that you averaged close to only 20k per home game at Kidney-Bean Park?

such a draw card!

…in other words: even your own fans relish the opportunity to see a game played at a real stadium with 2 wings for a change

Our home ground is literally under yet another redevelopment to allow more fans in. We fill the joint with such regularity that the State Govt and AFL are practically throwing cash at us to make it bigger. It's what The Big Show does.

yeah and even when the capacity is limited this year to around 23K, Geelong only go over 23k twice...So you couldnt even get 23 thousand at all your games. Any other club would have people climbing over the walls to watch the games

23k capacity
Averaged over 31k per home game

This is unprecedented, and probably a little illegal. Oh well.

We know, it’s been under redevelopment for 20 years and still has less capacity than Optus or Marvel

Wake up Jeff, we already went through this

We started it . Pioneers. Mighty Rooboys.

And then the peasant clubs Colliwobbles, Carlscum, Essendrug, Richtinrattlers, and then fake franchise clubs West Coke, Sydney fake Bloods culture invented by Ron Joseph after three weeks at a 'club' that couldn't be bothered to fight and stay in Melbourne took it over...

Melbourne who voted to merge themselves out if existence, Hawthorn... Family club vomit fakes who suck millions from their poker machine establishments in outer working class suburbs, Geelong funded initially by a Market gardener wannabee mafioso who then bribed 300 million in govt grants to gift them a taxpayer funded stadium free of charge

Brisbane .. Noel Gordon who was gifted the carcass of the proud Fitzroy , Port Adelaide won 78 premierships in a tin pot country football league therefore Im so brave

Fremantle heave ho ho, fake franchise and GWS , GWS.....GWS....a corporate soulless fake.

stkikda and western Bulldogs , so devoid of moral fibre they changed their name to be not associated with the

So you morons are too blame.

And you actually take pride in this?

 

[Jazny]

Geelong is the highest crowd puller AND the champion team of the century? Oh dear, I feel for the other Victorian teams who are now all confirmed minnows.

Try too spell too letter words correctly when calling people morons

You know I joke about you lot becoming Hawthorn but then you bust out the maths to make yourselves feel bigger...mate, I'm starting to feel like you're making it come true.

You just need to cut your crowd numbers and change the guernsey and get in a racist president* and you'll be there.

*no you can't have one of our ex presidents.

Norf also invented bribing members with free pies to attend a home match. They were still left with thousands of left over pies. These are slowly being fed to their few talented youngsters in the belief it will persuade them to stay at Arden St and as as part of their scientific nutrition program. JHF set an example by telling Norf to gagf and that he prefers his pies floating in pea soup.
