Round 13

[Redleg 41,738]

A poofteenth over 22000 on a Saturday afternoon and not a peep from the media about low crowd numbers.

We'd be copping it left right and centre if that was us...

Lets get to the G today and give the druggies hell!!!

I recall one weekend about 2 years ago, Drain Russell lambasting us for getting about 22000 to a sunday mother's day game against an interstate side, while at the same time saying that a Port crowd at home of about 7000 the week before in a reasonable time slot was ok, because they were struggling at the time.

We can all recall of course how brilliantly we were travelling in the last 2 years when this happened.

I feel like Denham, Barrett and occasionally Wilson, Russell really has some problem with the MFC.

Regard less of what he thinks of us, I have listened to Duhwayne a couple of times recently and come to the conclusion he may, objectively speaking, simply be the single worst commentator on tv or radio.

He offers no insights to the game, appears to know nothing of strategy, and simply engages in torrents of speculation about what might or might not happen next.

Truly ordinary.

No argument from me.

Watching Geelong and St Kilda atm

Gee the Cats squeal to the umpires a lot...and don't they get a soft run down there.

[titan_uranus 25,052]

Interstate crowds are all doing well this year, but the Melbourne crowds are by and large down.

IMO, part of this is because the games on Channel 7 are boring. They are all the same sides (it's always Essendon, Geelong, Carlton, Richmond) and some of the games have been really bad. That leads to a lack of interest in the game on TV, which detracts from the game overall.

In addition, the varying time slots are hurting people. Footy is like a routine for a lot of people - it used to be easy, 2.10 on a Saturday or a Sunday. I understand the need to have multiple slots and games can't always be the same time, but at the other end of the spectrum some of the slots are awful (3.20 and 4.40 are late times to be starting games IMO).

Saints are very average

[daisycutter 29,797]

I was watching with a mate and he commented on how purple the crowd was for a game in Melbourne

are you suggesting richmond supporters were exposing themselves?

[dazzledavey36 55,456]

St. Kilda is copping an absolute flogging by the cats so far. I am in disbelief why the blowtorch hasn't been set on this club. They cop a 140 point point flogging from the hawks and you hear nothing. We lose to Collingwood last week and we are accused of ruining the game.

I hope they get a demolishing from the cats today. Cannot stand them one bit. Their culture is is horrendous and we hear nothing about that.

Thoughts

[dazzledavey36 55,456]

Why was my topic thread merged? This has got nothing to do with Round 13. This was about St Kilda the football club.

Disappointing.

[P-man 13,366]

We just had to draw the Saints first.

We play them now and we win by 10 goals.

[Whispering_Jack 30,947]

Three quarter time and Geelong have 20 free kicks. I think its time a team's scores were indexed to the number of free kicks received. On that basis, I reckon we would have scored about 12 goals against Collingwood had we been paid 20 frees and won comfortably.

[beelzebub 23,388]

I really like that Roos is persistent in his "appraisal" of the umpiring.

Ought to be interesting to see if we only get 5 frees again today.

[beelzebub 23,388]

Doggies giving the Pies a run..

Currently up a goal near 1/2 time

Could you remind me if he's played the game and who for again ?

played for Port and Cats

[dees189227 12,441]

that bulldogs pies game was great to watch. I dont feel as annoyed as I did when we lost to the dogs. They put on a great show today. Cop that Bucks. Could have waltzed into the top 4.

[titan_uranus 25,052]

Carlton, Richmond, Collingwood and Essendon all lost this week. And we won.

What joy.
