I'd have said 40k isn't too bad when playing the smaller clubs like St Kilda and Hawthorn. 

MCC dining room was full to capacity.

Saints supporters didnt turn up, not even their cheer squad.....

By no means am I having a go at you 58er, but this really grinds my gears. The thought that ‘fans’ would decide not to attend a match (that they can attend) because we suffered a loss the previous week. I’m wondering if it’s only when the loss is to a team who’re down the sad end  of the ladder, or any loss. Either way, I just don’t understand this mindset. 

I don’t either but fans of all Clubs can be fickle. Saints don’t attract fans either and for the last few years their MCG fans vs us has not been much more than 10,000 really. 
TBH we have probably not had 10,000 fans to their home games at Marvel either. 
So people in glass houses…….

Solid win in the end despite some prolonged sloppy periods especially in the first half. The real test comes in the next couple of weeks though, let's see how we go against Freo and the Pies.

Eagles losing by 99 points today makes last week's loss feel even worse 🤬

Test result - a big, fat "F"

Hard to believe we were 56 points in front of a side, just 2 weeks ago.

That game was an absolute false economy against a side that didn’t put any pressure on us.

We’ve lost 4 of our last 5 games, including last year’s wooden spooners. Our only win was, as you say, against a putrid St Kilda who is a bottom 4 side. 
 

Hawthorn have won more games than us in that time. Against better teams too.

St Kilda were rubbish, let's face it.
