Not a word, I bet!

May 12th, 2000 the Kangaroos played Fremantle in Melbourne on Mothers' Day and only drew a crowd of 12,400

The media, and the footy world in general, had a field day at the Kangaroos' expense.

July 21st, 2001 Carlton played Fremantle in Melbourne on a normal day (ie not Mothers' Day, Fathers Day, Valentines Day, Independence Day...or what have you) and drew a crowd of 15,622.

I bet there is NOT ONE bit of negativity about Carlton's inability to draw a crowd against Fremantle in Melbourne. All the mitigating circumstances will be simply assumed as fact, unlike the very same factors (and in fact one additional and very significant factor....Mothers' Day) when the Kangaroos played Freo last year.

Let's wait and see.

The only surprising aspect of this story is the fact that Carlton didn't draw a crowd

And Norf got 18 odd against Freo a few weeks back.

Quite a pathetic turnout by baggers supporters today, really.

 

[Shinboners]

A bit harsh on the bluebaggers when you consider that some of the Tuesday night training drills between players are much more competitive than a game against Fremantle on the weekend.

My tip....a crowd of 20,000 plus at Pigs Arse Oval on Tuesday night.
