To watch nicks go balder
Is there any reason to attend home games?

There's not many options for him unfortunately.
So if I have to witness that, then, eeww, no.
Well I'm not going but that's because Taylor Swift is dropping a new album at 2pm that Friday and she brings me way more joy than the Crows ever have.
I was 10 years old the last time we won a premiership I'm 36 married with kids now and it's bloody unlikely we'll win one before I turn 60! Can't imagine how it must feel to be an older fan and think I'll probably die before we win another one

I still go, but I can honestly say that I am just not emotionally engaged anymore.
I can't really explain it, but after 2017 and all the crap with the camp and how poorly we handled it, my emotional bond with the club has been broken and it's never been the same since.
Last night I didn't care at all when we lost nor did I really care when we didn't make the finals last year.
It's all just "meh" to me now.

I'm taking my son to a game later in the year. He's pretty keen to get stuck into the hot chips, the pipsqueak polished off the better part of 3 buckets last time. I'll just enjoy the father son bonding time. As a kid I went to the Richmond game in 93 where Mods went boonta, but then spent the next 3 years going along with my dad to watch us get pasted nearly every time. My son's had a pretty good life, won't hurt him to experience some solid disappointment every now and then.
I'm loathe to put a Crows guernsey on him though because he's 7 years old and weighs 20kg soaking wet and I'm afraid if Nicksy sees him he'll try and sub him on.

Coming from the NT has always revolved around when the Crows matches were on
Don’t even look these days at schedules for AO
All our big flasks once filled with coffee and hot soup are in the bottom of the pantry topped with dust and probs mould
Couldn’t care
Miss the AO atmosphere and the experience
I just want to see effort. Basic skills
and the early signing of Nicks has made me “frustrated “

Similar. Olsen was the last straw for me. 29 years a season ticket holder. Went last night, with my kids but hardly enjoyed it.
The over priced beer, cold chips and Balfours pies....
Hopefully no one else has said this.......

He said he can't give them away. Here I am willing to take his tickets.
Year after year he never follows through

I stopped a while back. I used to buy the interstate membership and go watch matches in Melbourne. It was really good too, I'd go to 4 or 5 matches in Victoria each year and then I just couldn't be bothered a few years back. It was obvious what the clubs issues were but nobody addressed them, they hoped they'd go away.
I still watch a couple of games at least over in Melbourne each year but the enthusiasm died, it is more for the dinners and just hanging out with friends than the 3 hours I spend watching my team get pummeled

There are a lot of people in this boat
Yeah, I think this is a common sentiment. I feel like at some point the club will come good again and then I'll probably be more emotionally invested. Right now I'm just kind of riding the wave each year, not getting too caught up in what happens.
Ten years ago I would have been devastated after a loss like the one yesterday. It would have ruined my whole weekend. Now it's hard to care.
Is that you Brodie smith?
In all seriousness my parents and the rest of my family are port supporters. They often comment on how painful it must be to support the crows. Luckily port don't exactly have the best history going around in the AFL. But port do get themselves up for big games better than we do. Generally when the going gets tough we are weak as piss.
Plus we have a loooong history of getting ahead of ourselves and this year is looking like just another case of that. Unfortunately for Tex that'll probably see his career out. But it's the way we say goodbye to most of our top players. He should just be grateful we didn't drop him for the GF then ship him off to Freo.

You’re not looking hard enough
I think the happy clappers on here who tried to laugh us down mid way through last year should be forced to take your tickets.
