28 546 at the G: Melb v the Hawks

[Kwality]

Poor old crowd at a poor old game - bringing the game into disrepute?

What sort of membership numbers are these clubs claiming (poor crowd)?

How many of their members were in the AFL reserve ?

How many of their fans preferred the MCC reserve?

Was this game a make up game for the Hawks members to cover the games in Tassie?

Yes, it was.

Rivetting thread.

 

[master bate]

Maybe we could worry about the crowds at GWS that gets reported at 6,500 despite shrinking each week.

Melbourne are struggling thats obvious - do you really need to pick on our crowds and I think what's happened is an 8-1 Hawthorn have a few fans who probably have seen enough winning.

That said Dawes, Jones and Frawley put on a reasonable show for a 3 player team that got belted by nearly 100 if you forget about the other 19 clowns wearing red and blue.

Sunday arvo, Melbourne are shit, everyone could predict a boring win. Not much to discuss really.

 

[Kwality]

Yes, it was.

Roger that Messenger, thanks, real low % of members of both clubs, inflated by MCC members, is that number published anywhere?
Nice afternoon in Melbourne .

 

[Jaeger]

Mostly Hawthorn supporters.

I reckon Melbourne would've had less than 10,000 supporters there today. It's sad.

Relax Mazda, real Melbourne fans dont join the footy club, they join the cricket club dont they or the AFL - Hawks fans arent real people.

Dont worry about GWS it doesnt claim to be footy heartland.

Suffer a head injury today?

[Cmarsh]

It's funny because if league had the same crowd in similar circumstances there would be some furious fapping going on over on the LU boards.

 

[ThatsjustDappa]

Did I just get short cutted to the bay.....?

 

[Kwality]

What is your point?

Of the claimed members, so few attended - how inflated are club claims?
Clubs should be forced to declare $s v claimed membership numbers. bit of transparency because fans are being fed 5hit & it is believed by so many.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Queens Birthday will be real interesting to see the crowd figure.

That makes no sense. The HFC have my membership money whether I show up or not. And given that my $470 membership is given the same weight as my son's $59 membership or any other 11 or 18 game package, what would you gain from it?

Can't speak for West Coast but Hawthorn membership does not require compulsory attendance.

Isn't there a crowds thread?

Yep have no idea what it will be.. hoping 60k?

expecting 48 ish...

could prob as a low as the high 30's thanks to the dees

Not with the heads of dogs, chicken, cats or even the assorted odd croc. Hawks claimed membership is not real & if the $s were lined up against them, your lot would be ridiculed - join a demand for transparent reporting messenger, embarassing as it will be for the Hawks.

It will get at least 40's. 55,000 might be a realistic attendance.

The events of this week may have a large impact on it.

So you don't believe that Hawthorn have sold all the memberships they have reported?

I think your tin foil hat isn't screwed on properly

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Who really gives a shit? Pathetic thread.

 

[QuietB]

Sunday twilight is the worst time slot in history. Ever.

 

[hawks_time]

So the thread is really about Hawthorns membership numbers and how it's all dogs and cats and 2 headed cousins?

I'm honestly embarrassed for you. How would you go about proving such an claim?

Is this an extension of your anti-Victorian shtick?
