I was there. If you weren’t whats your excuse? Want other clubs to respect us and stop saying we don’t turn up? Get off your [censored] and stick fat!

    Oh get off your soapbox. Some people have valid reasons why they can’t attend. If you put in an appearance hope you enjoyed yourself.

    It should have been a day game, and the Essendon game under the roof a night game.  Or the Q clash.   Terrible schedule from the AFL. The weather report said likely hail.

     

    But we were there. I drove from Shepparton

    Severe mental illness and not earning enough money will do it. 
     

    Happy you’re able to go but some of us struggle every day just to survive.

    I couldn’t get out of the house. Somebody glued my doors and windows shut.

    Buy a membership every year for me and my daughter, live In Ballarat, but never attend night matches. Daughter not interested in footy, so it’s a donation.

    (I didn’t go because I had severe diarrhoea)

    Not only do I not need an excuse not to go to a game, I certainly don’t need to explain to you why I didn’t.

    Ps. We won a Grand Final with bugger all loyal MFC supporters there. Tonight’s loss was due to numerous factors, the sparse crowd was not one of them.

    If you don't think a crowd of 40k screaming Melb fans wouldn't have an impact. It says more about you.

    So you think 40k fans would have meant we didn't go 8-0 in centre bounce clearences in the last quarter??

    Or maybe 40k fans would have meant Tom McDonald doesn't get outmarked twice by Hogan in thr last quarter which results in goals?

    Right.

    I live 800kms from the MCG but I understand why some choose not to go. But under 20k was a shock to see.

    I think your logic is sadly askew.

    Didn’t GWS win the game with even less supporters present ?

    And you know what you can do with your whimpy vomit emoji !

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
