Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion

[bzparkes]

What's going on with the crowds for these "big Victorian" clubs?

I know it was against Adelaide but only 36 000.
And the Crows had a fair bit of support as well.

Because Vic club supporters are complete bandwagoners, unlike our mighty Eagles fans who turn up no matter how shit the team is.




May or may not have anything to do with seated membership prices...

Bad timeslot probably.

Or school holidays.

Too early maybe? Sorry, I mean too late for the country crowd.

Origin was on, I mean uh…basketba…soccer. Sporting capital of the world mate we can’t all go to the footy.

36k nearly double Richmond’s MCG crowd last Sunday, so if these trends continue…

 

[Wild Kelly]

Who ****ing asked you?!

A lot of very concerned people who were triggered and offended on behalf of another group of people.

People with a voice using it to speak up for those without isn’t being triggered or offended.

Back in my day it was called sticking up for the underdog. Times change I guess.

cant wait til we have stirring victories like Adelaide did tonight.

They keep backing their kids in.

We need to first get good kids lol

Vividly remember last year when we got 36 000 against GC.
Kane Cornes "Their crowds are really dropping off".

Two weeks ago, when North beat the GC.
David King "The North supporters are coming along for the ride".
17 000

Last week, 19 000 for Richmond vs GWS.

Fair enough.......

Last week the current wooden spooners had over 40k attend. During the school holidays when most of the Western Suburbs were still down at Legal Bay, and it was forecast to be chucking it down with rain, against a top 8 team that was widely predicted to pump us hard.

!7 000

Fair enough.......

To be fair, Kane also (a few times from memory) called WC supporters easily the best and most loyal in the league

 

[eaglespremiers]

It’s because people assume ‘contested possession’ means ‘won a contest’. Just means you got rid of the ball while someone was close to you. Doesn’t mean shit

Would be impressed if Daicos took a contested mark though.

 

[Cuzz09]

Contested possession and hard ball get

difference?

Just watched the replay on Fox, gee Nick Martin does the old Shuey duck and shrug every time he is tackled.

Scott actually has them all well trained, Merrett with a nice flop after Caldwell concussion tackle nearby put it away for the Dive Bombers.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Suns still freaked out by away games.

And GWS kicking very nicely.

 

[Cuzz09]

Suns again are almost as disappointing as us.

14 years no finals

Collingwood now being beaten up by Hawthorn and themselves!

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Watching Hawks makes me sad but happy. We are years away from this kind of performance.

 

[SumaGodCoach]

Collingwood and Essendon are both missing finals.

They were used as the strawman example for not trading out all your senior players for a while there. Funny what happens when you rebuild in earnest

 

[KBLT]

[Mulldogg]

Geez watching Hawthorn dismantle the reigning premiers and lamenting why we’ve been so reticent to “play the kids”.

As D'Ambrosio drills another one the keep the senior guys to guide the youth looks a bit shit.

Rule no. 1
To play the kids you have to have kids who can play.

Pick 7 for Lachie Schultz……. FMD

Would be more useful to us than Culley if we’d picked him instead. but given he bailed on Essendon to go to Hawthorn, I assume he would have left WC also. Ended up being exactly what we needed though

Yeah the injury crisis really made the list and development problems worse. Missing out on Massimo and getting Culley looks like another miss. Hopefully Culley shows a bit more than he currently is.
