My best mate who lives in Melbourne said he's barely been to the footy at all this year because he "can't be arsed." Reckons the lockdowns over the last few years have made people kinda hermits who would rather be at home watching the footy under a blanket than sitting out in the cold, travelling to and from the game etc for about 3 or 4 hours all up. Too much hassle. If he's going out on a Friday or Saturday night, it's to get hammered at Chapel St., which he maintains is as lively as ever.

Any truth to this hermit theory Melbournians?

Chapel st is always pumping

Pfft, Melbourne supporters are all watching from their chalets on Mount Buller, enjoying a chardonnay.

PS: yes, I love a good stereotype.

Footy was always pumping too in Vic too. I guess that's why I asked, what's the difference that people will go out for a night of boozing at restaurants, bars etc but not at the footy.

 

[Punts]

The royal pumps more than footy these days lol

 

[Kapers]

so much of AFL is pressure. If the swans can find a way to get up a pressure it would be our to lose.

Honestly first team this year to find consistent pressure will win it.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Lions playing their biggest competitor into form. Poor performance so far after a decent start.

 

[Kapers]

The commitment to tackle from the dees is super impressive

Nah people are out and about

s**t is just expensive and people don't have the disposable income to go to the footy anymore

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Its just intent and attack on the ball takes the whole team to do it tho.

Thats all Melbourne have done the rest flows on with their pressure.

When a coach can figure out how to get their side motivated week in week out would win the flag every year.

 

[swanssince2002]

Recency bias or has the game always 90% been about intent, pressure and attack on the ball? Think that made the 2005 side a great story, especially with the run towards the end of the year and in the grand final.

IMO it has, because everything else like skill, composure etc flows off that. Talent alone ain't enough (see: us)

carries their midfield so hard shame we couldn't stop him.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Nothing to do with May being there tonight either.

 

[Punts]

How can be this bad away from home with su h a good list

 

[caesar88]

Caesar - 1
Highly anticipated round of top 8 match-ups - 0

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Pickett's such a downhill skiier, not sure why he's so keen to quiet the crowd, he only ever gets on the end of a goal when his side is well and truly on top.

 

[Punts]

10 losses in row for lions at G

 

[melbournehammer]

Am at the ground watching. Lions too tall. Not enough ground level players. Demons so much faster and they do cheat - they just charge forward of the ball

Having. May back allows lever to play on some pretty ordinary players
