Neil Mitchell - Plot against Eagles

[Teen Wolf]

That's interesting

That's the funny thing about West Coast as an AFL Club. A bit wrongheaded with the Vic paranoia at times (team song and all), but unlike the other 7 interstate clubs, they have the gall to call out the Victorians and demand a fair go. In fact, I think they cherish and cultivate that role.

Ok then. If Eagles make the grand final and Eagles fans feel like buying me a ticket I will go and Boo at the umps for you at the MCG. I will even cheer Andrew Gaff if he is shown on the big screen

Victorians plot to negate West Coast’s Optus Stadium advantage for Melbourne preliminary final

West Coast's chances of whisking the AFL premiership cup across the Nullarbor for a fourth time must be worrying Victorians as they resort to increasingly bizarre attempts to negate the home ground advantage for this Saturday's preliminary final.

Melbourne fans are reportedly buying tickets to the final only to stay Victoria in order to leave empty seats at Optus Stadium.

Shock jock Neil Mitchell from radio station 3AW made the claim on Monday as he spoke about the advantages the Eagles will have against the Demons in Perth.

“I was talking to some AFL people on Friday night who reckon the local crowd gives them a three goal advantage, they call it the cauldron," he said.

"I know Melbourne supporters are buying their tickets in Perth with their membership numbers, they can't afford to fly over but they are going to leave the seats empty just to keep West Coast supporters out."

Eagles forward Josh Kennedy laughed at the idea, saying he expected nothing less than a capacity crowd at Optus Stadium.

"I’ve got no doubt there will be plenty of people coming over from Melbourne and all over the State to the game."

Mitchell devoted the start of his Monday morning show to detail a self described "plot" to negate West Coast's home-ground advantage.

"I want to stick it to the people in Perth," he said.

His plan was to stream live vision of Melbourne fans in Victoria onto the big screen at Optus Stadium.

“Get the banners, and the floggers, and the big heads: get them together like a real game and ask Channel 7 if they can get live pictures to Perth of the supporters here in Melbourne," he said.

“Imagine players running out, hearing the boos from the crowd, and looking up to see their own support team thousands of kilometres away.”

Seven Network Melbourne managing director Lewis Martin threw his support behind the plan.

“We have already had a technical meeting off the back of (Neil's) suggestion and we are making sure Simon Goodwin can point to a screen at any given time and say, boys we are not alone,” he said.

Mitchell is a Demons supporter

BOO!

What of? If we lose it means we are not good enough. Same goes for Melbourne. Pretty simple one would think.

 

[beta_condition]

Can't afford plane tickets but enough money to waste on ticket so there's one less Melbourne supporter in a sea of Eagles fans, gez that's some dedication.

 

[Tas]

So can't afford $350 for a return trip ticket, but can afford $187 to buy a ticket you wont be using, sounds legit.

BOO!

It’s dumb and if that’s the intelligence level of your fans then really is that the kind of fan you want to be

What a bunch of knobs that do that

Yeah I'd do that, I'll even bring along a cheese platter

Only Melbourne fans can afford to do this.
Richmond and Collingwood fans will have to rob servos to pay for theirs.
