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.

No they are more like an WAFL player.

Less pay and lesser working conditions but shorter seasons.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
