    Or an ex-lawyer with a background of defending dubious companies. Probably supports West Coast ?

     

    West Coast supporters went into hiding about three weeks ago, over here.

    A legion was generally considered to be around the 3300 to 3500. 

    So that means about 10 legions R and B

    Seems a lot more variable according to Wikipedia --- somewhere between 1,000 and 5,000 depending on when. So fittingly for some AFL crowd figures, there is some room for variability there.

    I was at the Dee's last finals game, back in 2006 at Subiaco Oval. 

    That day we only had around 2,000 supporter at the game. The Shockers had around 40,000 of their supporters there. My father was a member of the Shockers up until his passing around 10 years ago. I still has fond memories of singing our theme song to him over the phone every time the Dees beat the Shockers. That is until the time when he would no longer speak to me after our games.

    2006 was my first and only AFL finals game that I have see live and the last time my wife went with me to a football match. I also think it was the first finals match the Shockers had won.

    My best memery of the games was singing our theme song when the Dees ran on to the ground. The lady in front of me had to put her fingers in her ears, so I just had too sing louder. I love our theme song, and its even better when it annoys the opposition.

    I assume most of you guys and gals (not a 100% sure what Old Bitter is because of his avatar) will be attending our next finals game? Well give them a rowdy version of The Grand Old Flag for me if you are there at the game.

    GO THE DEES!

    I understood a Roman legion had between 3,000 to 6,000 men plus followers and auxiliary.

    Are the auxiliary legions like the interchange bench?

    What do you mean "hopefully" it will be correct either way.

    I think Redleg would prefer one correct way over the other ... ?

    No they are more like an WAFL player.

    Less pay and lesser working conditions but shorter seasons.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
