Toast Home Crowd

[Ochre]

From reading the main board, it's apparent that we get such a massive free kick advantage from our home crowd. Seeing as no other team gets such a big advantage when playing at home, it must mean that our supporters are louder and better than the supporters of any other team.

So well done everyone, free Chardonnay for all!

I did like that moment in the second quarter where Luke Shuey got tackled, and a member from block 113 came out and covered umpire Farmer's eyes, whilst another member from block 128 blew his whistle and called for a high free. Very involved effort from the crowd, thumbs up all round.

all us senior citizens sure know how to make some noise whilst sipping champagne

That was me!! The guy from 128, that is. Just followed on from the good work by the guy from 113.

I propose everyone in the crowd bring their own whistle to the next home game. That way when you think it's a free kick, just blow the whistle. If the sound is loud enough it's obviously a free kick and the umpires will adjudicate accordingly.

It makes for a terrific read!

I will give great respect to the poster who ventures onto their big venting thread and posts "Roo mad, bro?"

um, which one of the big venting threads? Is it the one about the umpires, the one about the Eagles basing their gameplan on playing for frees, Cox playing for frees by telling the umpires which ones to pay, or the other one about the umpires, or the one about the commentators saying nothing about all those obviously dreadful decisions?

you'll need to be more specific i'm afraid.

Have been so tempted, I must admit. Still though, not worth it.

"this wouldn't happen in Melbourne" "wait till u guys play finals in Melbourne" boo hoo hoo...

Great to see we r really ruffling some feathers! Someone from WC should head up an umpiring appreciation thread on the main board...

 

[Evelyn208]

Dad sitting next to me was really worried during parts of the 3rd qtr but I was confident that we could finish off well. Our players run out well usually and if the margin gets too close there always is the crowd atmosphere and enough yelling for the umps to shake in their boots.

 

[Bender_]

I've barely got any knitting done the past few home games - I've just been too busy swaying the umpires decisions!

 

[QS]

Breaking news: Three field umpires found hogtied in Kitchener Park, 3 members suspected of taking their clothes for the duration of the game.
Nothin' sus.

No idea what you're talking about, mate.

For some really I actually love how the crowd boo's everything, even legitimate free kicks to the opposition.

Those who boo every opposition free/shot at goal are generally the same people who boo every Masten/Selwood/Swift possession, so I wouldn't praise them too much.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Can i have somebody's seated membership already?

Like yeah, i've been in the wings for like 6 years and seeing as i didn't renew my membership in time this year because i changed emails... i am officially a first year member again! WTF!!!!!!!!

So yes, can one of you 40 000 old people who sit quietely in your chair be a sport?

It is now in the The West Coast Eagles bringing the game into disrepute...thread...and the The biggest travesty of the match thread.

There were random bouts of eerie silence, particularly the first half. Put me off watching, let alone the North players on the field.

A lot of us were pretty disappointed with our performance, and the Eagles were the better side regardless, but the umpiring decision did leave a lot to be desired. I don't blame the 5/6 players that duck for the freekicks, it's the umpires that keep falling for it. Very frustrating to see Shuey and co getting kicks by virtue of maneuvering the tackler's arm towards their neck.

Does Dean Cox practice his burning octopus impression at training? (hoping for some liberal modding considering you guys got the 4 points. )

Tackle lower. Problem solved. Or, get to the ball first more often than your opposition so you're not forced to tackle as often. Something else you can try.

I like this one but reckon it should have been called BROKENRECORD.
