Look like marathon and crap like south dimmies

 

[bloodsbigot]

I know I’m fully off topic but Ali for sure would have beaten Bruce Lee in a fight.

If it's a cage match I think Ali would win. If it was a street fight I'd put my money on Lee.

 

[dosser]

Not one of the best Mongrel reviews. True enough but Field lacks the insight you get from HB.

Yep, and then they write "Amartey’s influence was curbed but he was still instrumental in getting the Swans over the line, with his two disposals coming from contest and turning into forward 50 entries, including a great kick to the running Warner that led to a goal."

They must have phoned this one in.

 

[dosser]

Yer but thats the Asterix that the media bang on about, its not the size of the ground its the occasion and the unfamiliarity of playing in a cauldron environment.

That is exactly how he did so well!

HB himself is the best in the business (sorry RoCo) but a couple of the others not so much.

Definitely not.

yeah, i thought it was way below the usual standard from mongrel punt, like maybe whoever was appointed to cover the game couldn't be there and someone only half-interested cobbled something together from a few highlights

Apologies if this was already posted but didn't see it.



4 minute mark.

How good are we (the supporters)!!!

Surely we’d be on top of this ladder if it was based on % of total capacity of the ground?

Don't forget that the Melbourne numbers are inflated massively because it's a home game for both teams.

 

[SM]

Pretty impressive for the Crows.

 

[Cadsky]

Pretty impressive for the Crows.

Probably inflated by gather round and how ever many derbies they've had

We've had as many derbies as them. For a team doing that poorly to be so rusted on is great for them.

 

[anotherletdown]

Totally don't understand why the wheels fell off. They were looking great and then.....

.....and then, we broke them

Really good point. Apart from GC and GWS the non-Melbourne grounds are filled much closer to capacity.

Yes but their derbie crowds would be larger than ours

 

[SM]

Indeed.

 

[Callipygian]

Good crowd numbers from Crows and Hawks fans. Disappointing numbers from Saints fans (but I can't really blame them - except for not just giving up a lost cause and switching to another team).

Has this been posted already for this round?



I'm really enjoying this weekly vid since I was introduced to it here a couple of weeks back.

The crowds in Sydney have been amazing this year - long may it continue. Guest passes for Red Zone already sold out for Freo as well, and be astounded if they don't sell out for the rest (bar maybe Lol@Norf). We are actually going to upgrade our red zone tickets for a couple of the ones we can attend to reserved seating - just to try out a couple of new spots in the ground, and avoid the chaos of needing to get there super early! But it is wonderful - and as Horse said in his presser yesterday, crowd is definitely playing its role as the extra man too!

That should hopefully be a indication we dont need to destroy our cap to overpay a star forward 2m per season over 10.

Much better having a team balance.

That being said if Darcy/JUH wanna come along on a reasonable deal then sure

We have something even better IMO - a group of wholesome, charming young men playing the house down. They're all stars. The club and the AFL are working it and the fans love it.
