What a day today. Bizarre to say the least.

19,000 at the game starts it off. I know it was going to be wet, but the rain wasn't really around at lunch time anyway. Horrible crowd, really disappointing. Half of the MCG is under cover, ffs. Harden up.

Game was just incredible. I know it was windy over on the Punt Road End, but Dangerfield's goal kicking in particular I couldn't believe. He's so talented but really struggled.

Then they wouldn't switch the lights on at the 'G? Why the hell not? It was so dark - one of the darkest times I've seen it at a match and they only had the smaller spotties on. Probably didn't look like it on TV because it didn't on the big screen at the match.

Then the rain / hail just goes nuts.

Finally, get on the Frankston train on the way home and someone on the train in front has a heart attack. So the usual 20 or so minute train ride took an hour and a half. Obviously not having a go at Metro or the person having the heart attack but it just capped off the day.

What's next? Rachael Finch voted off Dancing with the Stars?

19,000 today. We have a lot of soft cokcs amongst our supporter base. To all those who stayed home, you don't love the club enough :cool:

Poor crowd (and yes I was there). Usually there are quite a lot of Crows fans there but today there weren't that many.
But less than 20k was disappointing.

Sure is and I notice Bojangles missed another game :cool:
He must have been to about 3 games this year. Lost the passion to go to games ;)
 
Was a poor crowd. We need our supporters to rock up every week and support the boys, win, lose or draw. That's what's supporting a team is all about.:)
 
Thing is we actually have a young team looking to go places. I can't really remember that ever in my life before which is what makes this Richmond team exciting to watch win, lose or draw.

But 19k is a joke. I didn't think I'd see such a horrible performance from a Richmond crowd. I've always liked how we aren't bandwagoners but perhaps we as a group are? Not good enough!

I honestly didn't think it was that dark on the ground

Dangerfield's kicking literally amazed me though
It was amazing for us too, he has always been a pretty descent kick for goal. The miss from 20m was probably the worst I've ever seen him kick a ball.

It makes it difficult when you're living 3000+km away :P But i normally get to the games at subi we play in, the only one i've missed is the rd 22 match last year against the eagles, and even then im kinda glad i did. Went to see District 09 instead.

I knew it was gonna be a crap crowd when i got into city at 12.50 and there were shit all tigers supporters around.
Does anyone reckon the 1pm start had something to do with it?
I mean there are plenty of kids who play their junior games on sundays.
 
Could not believe how dark it was. Had to watch the screens to figure out what was going on when the ball was up the other end; not exactly why you go to the ground.

Last quarter was awesome. Bloody hell it got cold.
