Tigers know how to put on a show

[Sentinel]

Melbourne had glory days 4-5 years ago? since when?

Really mate?

My kids love the drums, they go crazy with excitement before the team comes out! So I guess it has its purpose

 

[Captain_Bender]

Yes, I do agree, but that’s not quite the point of the thread.
Our off field stuff is great because if opposition and neutral fans enjoy the experience of our home games, they are more likely to come again. Us playing football like that is great for our supporters, but I’m sure the Adelaide supporters at the ground didn’t get anywhere near the amount of satisfaction we got from it.

Yeah but highlighting how Richmond played was just trolling according to poor Cincinnatus

If I was a Melbourne supporter I don't think I would have remembered how good a trumpet player was 4-5 years ago when the on field product was so bleak

I didnt say it was trolling, I said it was in the wrong thread.

 

[tigernsw]

Glad the op enjoyed it.

I hope to get to Adelaide oval one day - I'm sure I will at some point. On the bucket list
The atmosphere is said to be awesome.

I'd prefer it not to be a Port game though, lol.

 

[Cincinnatus]

Hw did you cope with that f'in tiger growl after every Richmond goal. Gave me a splitting headache in the first half of the Round 1 Carlton game and I had to leave. TURN DOWN THE VOLUME MCG YOU FLOGS!

To be honest I probably didnt notice it, what with needing to join a few hundred other Crows fans around me in hurling profanities at our lack effort and run.

I don't see how my comment warrants a wot? when I was highlighting the entertaining way Richmond played in the second quarter

I was at the game - I didnt hear the telecast - i didnt have the context and regardless, you either didnt read what the thread was actually about or didnt care enough to respect that. Sorry if you were offended by the way I asked the question.

Years ago you'd get an occasional PA announcement, and that was about it. These days it's an assault on the senses. I know that makes me sound like an old fuddy duddy.

Anyway, I must get over to Adelaide to watch AFL or cricket (although India have refused to play there which is a f'in disgrace!)

 

[Captain_Bender]

Richmond are pretenders, see what happens when they play a real team at the G.

Like when we flogged Collingwood?

Last time?

What happened the time before that? Lift your game boys, the Pies are coming!

 

[blackcat]

One thing I dont like, or perhaps dont get, is the drums. I dont think they add anything at all, I dont understand their purpose.

Richmond have won the last five out of six games against Collingwood with Collingwood's only win being under a goal in a umpired assisted win

Sorry your thread is getting derailed. Report their posts and the mods might clean it up for you.

It's an interesting discussion point. Unfortunately I haven't managed to get over for a game yet due to working weekends. But I've booked holidays for September and look forward to seeing it live in finals .

 

[TJASTA]

I have been to a couple of Essendon home games and they love a good air raid siren.

 

[Captain_Bender]

We've also missed finals the last 4 years, muppet.

Even when Richmond were missing finals the best Collingwood could do was a fluked win over Richmond, despite getting flogged by Richmond later in the year, and when Collingwood finally looks like a competent football side they still get flogged by Richmond, and I thought Adam Treloar told me Collingwood have the better list

You asked, we delivered. Not quite sure whatcha asking

There's a certain thing that he was very vocal about, I've a very fuzzy memory about it, I think, don't get me wrong, but I think that Collingwood has hmmmmm maybe a better list more likely to win premierships?

Surely he didn't say that, no one of even above average intelligence would think that

 

[TiggerMan22]

I was there tonight also. I liked the fact that the "crowd engagement" bs was relatively minimal for modern footy. It's ******* disgusting at Optus for Freo games you can't even hear yourself think. Pop music at ten thousand decibels and some peanut screaming into the mic non stop at every break.

I hope we never get as bad as the NBA. Love watching the games, but holy s**t they fill every second of no game with complete bullshit.

op: really respect what richmond are doing to include fans and create an organic atmosphere, well done

richmond fan: the club i support are amazing, how dare you not mention it

 

[TiggerMan22]

And the real Richmond show is on the field.
They do things and combine in incredible ways.
The tap ons, the handballs over the head, the teaming and linking all the way down the ground, the shimmys, the sidesteps, the spins.

It's like every player is in perfect sync. Everyone can show off their skills and play in whatever way they want and all their teammates seem to know exaxexa what they were going to do. Awesome to watch.

No, surely not as a highly regarded elite amateur at the time footballer would ever consider that.

I'm genuinely disappointed for the Crows this year Cincinnatus, and was hoping that if the Tigers weren't in the hunt that it would be Adelaide to win the premiership. The Crows supporters after last years grand final were pure class, and were very magnanimous having beers at the MCG after that game. I know where there's life there's hope, but it'd be a very optimistic Crow fan that would have them finding a rich enough vein of form over the last 2-3 months to get them a flag in 2018. Their supporters are good value and definitely deserved better.

Really all supporters are just people and the majority people are good. Every club has a few dickheads and everyone's opinion on a clubs supporterbase is just based off the few of the tens or hundreds thousands that they actually interact with.

All clubs deserve success at some point. Every club has diehard fans that are almost all good poeple.
