Call to the magpie army v Richmond

[mitch237]

Why is everyone avoiding the elephant in the room? Richmond, for all their faux bluster, could only manage 77,071 on ANZAC Eve. Like, where the frog was everyone? They're never going to have it this good again and they're already drifting away. When that crowd was posted everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, was disappointed. F****** Richmond. As reliable as a Ford gearbox.

Not sure what your point is...
77,000 at Richmond's away game. We got 85,000 the year before when it was our home game and that was with a smaller membership base than this year.
Fact is we are the first team to play 4 games in a row with 90,000+ crowds. We have no issue drawing a big crowd and no issue playing in front of big crowds (winning all 4 games).

 

[mitch237]

Don't forget the 33,000 that turned up for the Lions game.

Remember, bandwagoners don't turn up in the wet.......

And you had a 30,000 crowd against GWS at the G...

Richmond supporters only turn up to home games? F*** that's limp. And you get 85,000 last year, win the premiership, then have less people turn up this year. That's just... amazing.

Sorry. I forgot who I was talking to! I'll spell it out for you collingwood supporters. You see, when a club has a home game, they are allocated seats for their members. Richmond can't help it if Melbourne fans don't turn up. If you were actually at the game, like I was, you would've seen Richmond had heaps more there. If it was our home game there probably would've been closer to 90,000 there. Because some people only have home game memberships and can't afford to pay $50 for tickets to all the away games.

You make it sound so easy. Glad I picked the Pies because they seem like certain winners according to your post. Go Pies!

Except Sier didn’t get picked

 

[magpies42]

Funny that... since we won the our last flag both clubs have won 2 premierships...

Do you remember 1980 lol?

No I do not, born in 83. We may have only won 2, but we’ve been significant players in the finals over that same period. We rebuilt our club with no help, we did it off the back of being the biggest club in the land.
Not taking anything away from your club atm, things are working very well. Irrespective of what happens today, and tomorrow and the years after that Collingwood will always be the biggest club in Melbourne.

Yeah. Melbourne supporters. They suck the fun out of everything. Even this banter...

Good luck today.

I can't wait until I finally finish school so I can just go down and watch Collingwood on the weekends

Ah yes, just forget the 5 grand finals we have been in that period.

 

[magpienato]

You guys will never get 90,000 of your own supporters to a game like we did. Now we have finally had success our crowds are getting bigger. Kind of what happened to the pies from 2003-2012

No, Richmond vs. Carlton was about 75k Richmond, 15k Carlton.

Richmond fans are the one banging on about how they fill up the stands with just their own supporters.

The Brisbane game & Anzac eve prove otherwise.

To be fair they're both ordinary sides. Collingwood are up and about and will be a stern test for us. That is something worth going to despite the awful timeslot.

Looking forward to a great spectacle.

Can you give me some stats between Collingwood and Richmond on average attendances over the life of the AFL? Facebook and Twitter likes and followers? The Roy Morgan poll that would be the most accurate study done on AFL supporters?

Get back to me when you find anything that Richmond has beaten Collingwood on with any consistency over the long-term.

 

[welshm69]

Richmond supporters clearly missing the flow-on effects of winning a premiership and the short-term increases they're seeing in the numbers.


Were we this bad after 2010?


I don't remember being so...

How about our finals record against you. I think you haven't beaten us in a final since 1937. Is that consistent enough?

Probably but it is much harder seeing your own faults than seeing it in others.

No your discussion is supporter numbers.

 

[legendstatus]

Just wanted to lower my IQ further this morning so jumped on Ninethmonds board, for such a self absorbed bunch of dreamers reckon there is about 5-6 threads about the Pies

What is wrong with this mob that makes them so hated in amongst opposition supporters???


Sent from my Warped mind

 

[welshm69]

If we beat Richmond today they will cop it on here and so they should.

By far and above the most arrogant people you've ever come across.

I guess it must feel like a lifetime since they were good and they're making the most of it.

Such a weird obsession with us given the amount of threads.

Geelong supporters most arrogant, Richmond are a big club so have a lot of peanuts but I wouldn’t call them arrogant

However, a lot of it is just banter. Supporters getting their frustrations out after 37 years in the wilderness. I wouldn't take it seriously. Our board is about having fun. Unfortunately it is at the oppositions expense but most of it is tongue in cheek. Just as quickly as success has turned our way, it can quickly turn the other. Those of us who are old enough know that.

 

[Anzacday]

True.
No matter what happens today, we can both rejoice in the pain being suffered by "Owen6".

Hahaha Geelong have probably been the easiest to deal with during their success. Hawthorn and now Richmond the worst.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

The majority of Tiger fans aren't that bad, you can even have a joke with them on their own board, unlike some other clubs, think i got banned off the Carlton board once for looking at it.
