Crowd - 33K really is that the best that we can do?

Round 1 and that's it, I know Round 4 is the tribute match but I still had hoped for more today.

It was against an interstate team. I'd say it's not a bad turnout. And a performance like that doesn't deserve a good turn out. It should be better when we play Victorian teams.

I'd have thought 30-40k was reasonable. When we're winning, we can get 40k+, as we did in I think it was 2004 or 2005 against West Coast - 2nd vs 1st. 33k was pretty decent. Supporter base isn't large, so getting a high percentage of total support is probably good for the club if you look at it that way. I'd say 5k were Brisbane. They made a lot of noise.

I also think people are sick of the club. If it's a blow-out against the Eagles I'm not sure I can dedicate a weekend afternoon to them in round 3. I'm studying my Masters and practically lost a day of study yesterday. That was always at the back of my mind. I always think like that, and I'm not prepared to sit around and watch non-efforts just to "show support" and "have faith".
