16k at a Saturday Prime Time Home game.

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!

None of your business 

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

Good on you!

My dog ate my ticket 

Wife 9 months pregnant. I’ll buy another membership when the baby is born to make up for it.

Was too cold 🥶 

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.

Look after yourself mate. Feel free to flick me a message anytime for a chat. 

(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.

That kind of excuse really sh!ts me.

I was there but the club having a choking culture is a fine excuse for not turning up.

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 !
