ANZAC Day should be Collingwood vs Geelong

[gopies1981]

yet Richmond drew over 90,000 last year round 1, the only game Collingwood supporters with their social media likes go to is ANZAC day they save their centrelink payments up for them

And lol how sad you have to look at a game 17 years ago and even then couldn't get over 90,000 how sad

And yet let’s look at this years. attendance’s



Richmond a club that claims to have 98,000 members yet Collingwood are averaging 12,000 more per game then minnowmond

Forget about arguing who plays, for me the biggest problem is having the last post played on days other than ANZAC Day. Don't like it and it'll be even more awkward on Sunday when its 4 days after ANZAC Day.

Last post is nothing to do with ANZC day, its a signal for thend of the day, perfectly normal to be played on any day.

keep it as it is. having the grand final replay would have meant another eagles win

We have only played two home games at the G and have played at GWS

You are the King of useless stats.

Collingwood have played 2 more games at the MCG and are only 75,000 in front lol complete Collingminnow

By round 8 we will be 100,000 in front of Richmond

 

[Captain_Bender]

By round 8 we will be 100,000 in front of Richmond

And when Richmond have played the same amount of games at the MCG Richmond will be in front

 

[gopies1981]

Haha I don’t think so

Last post followed by Reveille is significant to ceremonial use i would've thought.

The average capacity of the grounds you’ve played at so far is 90k. You’ve filled 72% of that.
The average capacity of the grounds we’ve played at is 72k. We’ve filled 73% of that - granted two were interstate games which filled about 66% so we’re a bit higher than that too.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

ALL the best players are in the AFL, didnt happen EVER in the State League days .... but if thats not relevant, good luck with your projects.

Irrelevant (and untrue)

 

[Demonic Ascent]

So has someone managed to work out how Geelong is the most successful club yet? Im pretty sure my own club tops the Cats in just about every conceivable measure.

West Coast vs Hawthorn?

 

[Captain_Bender]

Haha I don’t think so

Despite the fact Richmond average higher crowds at the MCG than Collingwood

 

[Kwality]

Irrelevant (and untrue)

Like Stephen Michael, Haydn Bunton Snr, Polly Farmer. Darryl Baldock, Peter Hudson, Barry Robran, Bill Dempsey, Neil Kerley ..... to claim the players in the AFL are only the equivalent of the VFL is what is untrue & needs no research. This list is off the top from the 20s to the AFL when only Gary McINtosh rejected a place in the Crows original squad.

Because Richmond have played multiple games away from the MCG unlike Collingwood and yet Richmond still average a higher average crowd at the MCG

Last post followed by Reveille is significant to ceremonial use i would've thought.

Last post is a daily occurance to close the day, revellie is the call to wake up, in French it pretty much means wake up both are played daily.

Of course Last post is also played at funerals etc but there is no offence in all games playing it.

Only issue I have with Anzac day is the medal it should be scrapped, totally unnecessary.

 

[Benny78]

It should be the two greatest clubs of the AFL era ie Hawthorn and Richmond

Be prepared for a wave of useless stats that slow pies thinks proves his point.

Well said Benny but until pets are allowed in the G the Hawks just aren't going to cut it, the Anzac eve game will be nearly as big if Melbourne ever becomes successful, it was only a couple of thousand behind in 2017, it also leaves Anzac day free to go to the parade then back home to bed.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

The most successful club being Geelong.

I can't handle the humour

 

[DaveEgoat]

Great troll thread

So many taking the bait. Well played

Hence playing the reveille after the last post is ceremonially symbolic and not a common occurrence for a Sunday twighlight fixture which doesn't occur on ANZAC day.

Surely you jest mate

That the VFL was a significantly higher standard for the vast majority of the history of the game? No, not at all.

Victoria is/was simply so much bigger (population wise) than the other football states that they naturally produced a lot more quality players. More quality players means higher standard of competition.
