Good result?

 

[Bartram_Class]

Pretty happy with that.

And even better that most of them will be going home happy.

considering all the PR during the week, and the special treatment regarding kicking the footy on the ground after the game, it is pretty good!

For those who chose to stay away deliberately because we were expected to lose, may I be the first to say go and _____ yourself - you missed one of the wildest halves in history.

Can I just say they sounded bloody loud as well.

Great effort to all who went along, 23rd man.

Haha Merc, did you just send a text in to Triple M?

Err, maybe... It was cleaned up a bit for radio consumption.

All the Melbourne supporters who went got just what they deserved.

Reminds me of some Richmond games in the last few years, the real supporters are the ones who turn up after getting flogged the week before, or when the team have lost 5-6 games in a row.

Good on 'em. And congrats on the win!

What was the message?

 

[scarecrow2k1]

To be honest alot of other teams wouldn't have gotten THAT much bigger. North would have gotten the same, most other Victiorian teams would have gotten around 30k. Carlton had a few crowds at this level over the past few years

I thought there was a significant lack of Freo supporters there, usually more of the purple freaks turn up!

Good crowd, credit to McNamee, regardless if it was him I think the kick on the ground idea worked well.

Lots of MCC members there today which is a good sign, thats where the difference between 19k this year and 16k last year came from. We need them to come, and 10k more bogans in the southern stand especially on the wing would be nice, still nobody sitting there (not just in the AFL members).

was dreading the game as a walked into the g but i am so glad i bit the bullet and turned up

 

[w00dy]

great turn up and a credit to macnamee that we got this many people along... with the top tiers of all the stands (bar the MCC) shut down, not only would it have saved the club money, but it gave the game much more atmosphere, gave the crowd extra voice...

 

[Styxx]

Thats around double the number i was fearing.

Good effort by mainly Melbourne fans.....and didn't you get what you paid for?
