In Melbourne we don't realise how incredible on such a poor weather day we can get 20,000 to a sport game that is two meandering sides. Wow

Is anyone actually going?
Will get 25k if we're lucky
No one asked.

We should win this one, hopefully Cloke plays well and he doesn't look back.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.Every player in long sleeves please.
I must admit when I was reading your post I thought you meant you were going to unleash a fart to keep warm![]()
Have you ever been to an Adelaide home game? It is their big day out, BBQ's in the carpark, meet up before and after the game, talkback on radio after a loss is not a patch on what goes on in Melbourne.Really? We have the highest average attendance league wide this year and you're able to spin what would be our lowest home crowd this century and throw in incredible at the same time?! We supposedly have 80,000 members according to Pert!
The Crows v Roos got 38,000 on a Thursday night in similar conditions so 20,000 would be a dismal turnout no matter what way it's spun. I think we'll nudge 30k myself.

Further I think that their position on the ladder, their name hasn't been in the media (drugs, coach under the hammer, President with a big mouth) and 'injuries' is a lot different to our situation. Not close to comparison.
If supporters don't turn up because it is going to be very cold, and they have children or are elderly playing an interstate club that they don't have any rivalry, I don't blame them.
Yet you fail to mention the other points I made that would also affect attendance.Yeah I have given my family live in SA and all are mad Croweaters. We say we're the biggest club in the land yet here we can't even compare ourselves with Adelaide lol.
I have no issue whatsoever with people not attending, but spinning a 20k turnout as anything other than poor is reflective of an apathetic supporter base, that isn't engaged and losing faith in the direction of their club.
Spare me the 'injury' comment. At least selection was spot on this week!
Yet you fail to mention the other points I made that would also affect attendance.
I know of at the least three families that aren't prepared to take the children out on a night like is forecast whether wise and also the differing ladder positions and other factors.
I doubt very much that it is just due to an apathetic supporter base.
Sparing you the 'injury' comment would mean that you don't believe that the team would be better tonight with those inclusions, right? LOL.
I need to meet up with you as I normally only take coffee, blanket, gloves and hand warmer.

That's true.True but that's just what we're used to though.
Most other sports would be incredibly jealous that we can pull 20K on a Friday night in Antarctic conditions. Yet this will most likely set the record for lowest Collingwood MCG crowd won't it?
