They seek out their natural habitat.

Market research I could’ve used before ordering 20,000 of these badboys

South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas has called on his state’s football fans to turn up in droves for Friday evening’s match at Adelaide Oval in a cheeky bid to one-up New South Wales. On Friday, the Sydney Swans will face Richmond at Adelaide Oval, which seats up to 53,500. Malinauskas has challenged South Australians to better the 31,686-person crowd Sydney mustered for last weekend’s match against Port Adelaide at the SCG. “The test I’m putting out there to South Australians who are watching tonight ... we want to get more people to the Sydney vs Richmond game, a Sydney game in Adelaide, than what Sydney can achieve at the SCG,”.

Really?

WOW, now we know how the AFL got the Marvel sponsorship for the ground.

Low low price of a 2016 Premiership.

I have absolutely no doubt this is the case.

There's no way they get over 30k to that

Crows Gather Round guernsey is not too bad.

All their alternate designs look good compared to their normal shite.

 

[backtozero]

Not even his own club likes him

I don't like it. If Hed McNenry isn't getting games it's means they're improving.

Probably the best they've ever had lol

Andy Meh ain't happy - to be fair he probably feels the same about Carlton's wishy-washy white clash jumper as I do about ours.

 

[NoddyHolder]

Was there a toss of a coin to decide who had to wear the clash guernsey in the games where there is a clash?
Technically not a home game for us and the camries this week

There was a coin toss to decide who is the home team (who then get choice of jumper). The Crows just happened to have that alternate jumper at the ready the moment they won the toss with Carlton. I saw in a tweet (so veracity unknown) that we also won our toss, but it looks like we're just going with the BiB and there wouldn't have been a clash with WB anyway.

Yes there was and SURPRISE the two home teams won!

Looks like we're gonna have to put up with more of Rachele's goal celebration again tonight:

 

[Econopower]

Excluding the bye rounds 235k was the lowest total in 2022, in Round 4. But gather round isn’t aimed at maximising attendance, making the whole Vic-centred whinge facile…

 

[Doctor Feel]

How has Nic Nat played 213 games. It feels like he's played like 50 and missing for the rest. I think it might be because only 50 of those games were top quality. He seems to be injured all the time. Maybe built up his 213 pre-ACL?

EDIT: The ****, he was AA in 2012...then 2020 and 2021 (both post double ACL) then not much since. Weird career.

Created by Zoops on the FJGD board. It's a good 'un.

Was early on the gather round bandwagon and now regretting it a bit for the cringe factor.

Exhibit A - This tweet from crows Deputy Chair and SAPOL Assistant Commissioner Linda Fellows:

 

[dav3]

Wow. That would move the AFL well and truly into the "content provider" space and away from anything to do with, for example, its grassroots. Expect to see more AFLX-type initiatives. Can't wait

My comment was more in relation to Marvel and their links to a certain AFL owned stadium
