Would never happen.
Woosha had a chance to stick around once before.

Well I was critical of our crowd for Monday night. Yesterday seemed a lot better, but still only 15,155. I hope the performance brings people back, and I think the mood in the crowd was generally a positive one.

However, looking at old mate down the road. Top of the table, Saturday night prime time. Perfect winter weather. First game back with a meaningul crowd and only 16,727.

I was sure they would get north of 20k.

I don't think you can be critical of people staying away from large crowds at the moment

So what will Caro's take on this be? And again, imagine if it was the Crows....

Explosive claim Hawks cheated salary cap

Port, you losing is the closest I'm going to get to a win this season... and that's so depressing I think I'm going to cry

Bit hard to get north of 20k when its capped at 20k.

Has KT been caught out in a lie?

He said on AA 90% of members retained their membership. 1970crow applauded KT on his honesty compared to Fagan who was vague on retention of memberships.


Yet Saturday night, top of the table, perfect July weather and an easy win on the cards they got less than the 20k capacity.


You would think the retained membership KT claimed would be more than 20k capacity.

16k crowd proof he lied about that claim?

I am expecting crickets on this one from the media but you’re right, replace Hawthorn’s Golden Era with Adelaide in ‘97 and ‘98 and imagine the difference in reaction

I don't think I applauded him for his honesty. I think I questioned how they were prepared to disclose a had a figure but we had only a vague idea. Even then, I'm not convinced how their crowd has any bearing on my comment.

Love the part about us we waz robbed.

He made the figure up. He lied. At least Fagan didn't lie to the extent of making up a figure. In your post you chastised Fagan for hiding something. Maybe he did, or he just didn't know an exact figure.

KT made a figure up, most likely on the spot.



Maybe 40k ticketed members pre COVID.
90 percent of that 36k.

Just under 17k there Saturday night, capped capacity 20k.

Are we to believe that 19,000 members who could have got a ticket didn't want to.


Or, and more likely, far more than members got a refund than KT said.

She will find a way to connect the Crows camp to the Hawks flags.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I mean if the Essendon doping saga didn't teach you the AFL is a compromised league, nothing would.

 

[aabp1978]

Just watched Caro (or Karen?) on nine news over here in plague city. Her comment on the Hawks cheating - “titillating, but wont go anywhere...”....the hypocrisy of that women is amazing....

You don't know that he lied. You're making an assumption based upon an attendance figure for a singular game. Apparently west coast had low crowds as well. It's not apples and apples these days. Jumping from a lowish crowd to the CEO lying is a fair effort. You have NFI as to the expected correlation between pledgers and crowds in this season.

1. Members/season ticket holders are two different things.

2. Don't underestimate the numbers of people who won't go to the footy this season regardless what authorities deem 'safe'

This. You can't say one plus one is two ignoring the bigger picture.

Which vulnerable person in their right mind will go to a packed stadium?

People have adjusted to life without going to football....

It's simplistic hatred. It's a weird take. I'd argue a bad crowd ahead of CEO furphying pledging numbers. If I was feeling a little provocative, I might even suggest that Port supporters are used to switching off around August, knowing that nearly all the wins for the season are already in the bank. And it's cold.

Seriougly though, very odd joining of dots from Geoffa32. And why he recalled an innocent post of mine weeks ago. He might be my new jack is a moron and back. But he's actually not an insufferable megalomaniac, so he's not quite the other dickwad. Just needing some relative positivity against our cousins down the road.
