Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread X

Port have a horror run home. They could conceivably miss finals.

Would need to hit the absolute sweet spot in terms of teams like Gold Coast and us sharing points the right way.

32,000 for a club playing at their preferred venue, who brag about the fact they are on the verge of 80,000 members, against a good opponent, on a day advertised as 'bring a friend for free'. About as nice a day as you'll get in August too, even if not in the best timeslot.

I can imagine Caro scrambling madly for the 'Dodgy Graphs' file to add to, just up from the 'Hird's Fault' file (that's a biggy btw)

Sunday 4:40 against an interstate club. It's probably the 2nd worst time slot, with Monday night being the worst. Collingwood haven't been in great form and either have Port.

Naah, she'll be busy penning the AFL's latest press release/apology piece for the front of the Age.

I have it on good authority that more Pies fans were GOING to show up.. and bring their friends for free.. but then they remembered that the EFC supplement saga has dragged on for 18 months.. so they stayed home instead.

Eddie McGuire is going to ask EFC for compensation for lost revenue.

Collingwood's attendances have been deplorable - Seriously playing against a quality opponent in Power, send off for a premiership skipper in Maxwell, 80,000 members and they get 32,000.

Power needs one more win and they will make the finals. Their percentage gives them an extra game.

Sunday twilight is almost as bad as Sunday night.. useless time slot for live attendance.

need to utilise the interstate time differential more

Just about to come here and post that Crameri is playing another blinder and then he got a few touches...

So many of my Dog supporting mates have been disappointed with his season.

Do it mate.



Despite having played more games + game time, he has scored less goals and is way down on goal assists. Stats wise he is no better off any of the key stats. (compared to 2013)

Just not the same player without the good supplements.

This is a watershed moment

Yeah.. I kinda of understood the whole 'WA played in the afternoon' but we got to watch it in the early evening deal..

But starting a game at 4:40pm on a Sunday.. in Melbourne is just plain stupidity.. sheer madness.. insanity wrapped up with a side of moronic.

I still can't believe opposition fans are now boycotting watching their own teams to protest our unfair and illegal treatment at the hands of AFL/ASADA.. I never knew footy fans could be so courageous and generous.. Keep up the good work!

 

[The Scales]

And leaving the roof open and Etihad? FFS, no-one wants this arrangement, why does the AFL persist? Blight on the game, killing skills and viewing enjoyment. Take control, Gillon.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

How many players were there on a list back when the league had a proper reserves competition?

Wasn't it about 55?

Surely it's just as shit for every other city as well, not just Melbourne.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Twilight timeslots have worked pretty well for the past 5 years or whatever it's been.

They're not a reason for the crowd figures dropping, but Gilbboels and his team of morons will use them to cover the fact that it's a completely ****ing ******ed set of rules and a completely incompetent (or worse) set of amateurs posing as officials in a billion dollar sport that are the biggest factor.

Yeah but in WA.. it is actually a 2pm 'live' start.. but it is 4.40pm in VIC/eastern seaboard...

So they don't actually have to go to a twilight sunday game in their timezone..

True, but it's equally as unappealing for all other cities, even here where we're it's a 4:10 start. But hey, TV wins and the true supporter who goes to games can do what they will. It's all about the al ighty ollar.
