Previously known as LITD.

My biggest beef about footy today is not the cost of attending. Even without memberships, footy offers really good entertainment for your hard earned $. It's the other costs that really get me angry. Footy parking. Let's face it the trains are a shambles. While nowhere near the evil costs of airport par ki ing it's still steep for a couple of hours on a muddy patch of dirt. So if your lucky enough that the trains are running go for it. But it's the food and beverage costs that are shocking. And nobody really wants to bring in their own sandwiches and so forth. Or perhaps they do as the home quality is much better. But if you don't have the time or inclination, the costs and offerings at the footy are atrocious. A party of five excluding the entry price, can rack up 200 dollars in this avenue alone and that's being quite frugal in holding back the drinks. Everything combined and 500 dollars can disappear out of your account. With interest rates and house prices and inflation, I think it's not unreasonable to think crowds will suffer. But interestingly, they haven't. I guess in tough times people need some sport escapism more than ever. Perhaps more people are watching on tv? In any event the costs of drinks and snacks at venues is just wrong. Four beers wil take forty dollars off you and given for cans of full strength beer is around 15$ at Cole's or 10 dollars at Aldi, it's just wrong. I know this isn't the Afls doing but it still works me. And yes I'm cheap but I would like to leave a nice financial legacy for my two kids given the cost of housing today. It all adds up

Standard at its lowest ever this year Destroying enjoyment for many.

I think to be fair maybe if the club started winning more than more people would front up. I feel sorry for all those that rocked up in the cold to see that half the players didn't. It was another half hearted effort at times. We are so inconsistent. Not just week to week but it's now quarter to quarter. Our fwd line was horrible last night.

Between that and your overstretched plums, I think it's time start looking after yourself. Get well soon.

Fritta our highest goal scorer with two goals was very lacking in his pressure acts for me. In the last quarter there were a couple of times where he was only jogging after a player. Didn't look remotely interested in catching him. Zero tackles too. He's a classy player but he's seems either on or off at times. Needs to work a little harder perhaps.

Fun Fact Both us and Gws have had four close games by one goal or less. The difference being we lost three of ours and they won three of theirs. Inaccuracy costs games. We still have this as a problem. It's been with us for three seasons now. Is the club making progress here? Not sure.

I'm in Northern Wollongong. The cost of flying or petrol to drive is just too much these days. I actually enquired about a sleeper on a train but this was over 400 bucks. A train fgs. In Europe 400 bucks for train travel would give you seven laps of the whole continent. I get the economy of scale and what have you but travel between Sydney and Melbourne is not a small market. 5 million in both cities. Would it really be that hard to have a relatively fast rail service between the two at a rate that doesn't require refinancing your house again Australia is becoming not so lucky anymore . Governments pay way too much to oseas consortiums to build infrastructure that is always above budgets. And pollies spend way too much $ on travel oseas on so called fact finding missions about the environment when they could do it all by zoom and help out the planet by not burning so much bloody jet fuel. Flying is the real environment killer. That and over population. But I digress. Where were we? Footy. Um yes just too costly for istate supporters.

Thought that was his best full game. Didn't smash it but certainly better than quite a few others.

Fritta....bruise free footy. Kozzie....didn't turn up. Nibbler..... A mare game. Bowey....lost since injury. Jvr.....off the boil. Max.....hard coming back. Oliver...our best player. Rivers....ripper first half. Woey....not ready yet. Windsor.....was very quiet. Viney.....tried all night. Petty ....some good efforts. Milkshake...same as Petty. Chandler....did his bit. Lever...played very well. May.....going backwards perhaps. Mcvee.....always plays well. Laurie...played quite well. AmW.....ok for experience Langdon.....was good again. Tmac..... fairly average game Billings ...failed to impact. Mfc....most inconsistent club.

Season 24

Nup.

Could we?

Anb has had an absolute shocker. Last roll Too slow.

That's good enough Fritta

Don't bother mate. They are useless.

The umps have given Gws a free at just the moment we have momentum all night

Oliver has done well tonight Jack too. Where have we gone astray apart from no fwd target? Started so well. As frustrating as our inconsistentency has been it's worst when it's between quarters. And you just knew Petty would miss. Poor kicking at goal from us again. At least we are consistent in that😃

Jvr overuns the ball so often.

Kozzie is one of our highest paid players but you'd never know watching this . Applied some pressure early but just hasn't impacted the game at all. But all or fwds have just not turned up. I thought this was our best fwd line but I'd be happy to drop Fritta on this. Maybe that's harsh on him. He's not alone.

Don't care time to make a change. Fritta is a good player but only in space. He's too delicate to take a contested mark like Hogan. Make a change Goody. Actually I think you've missed the boat . Next goal to Gws and it's goodbye 24.

Mcvee is pure class.

Credit to Gws. They have got numbers back into our fwd line all night and rarely have we had space there. That quarter was lost off our own clangers. Handballs to non existent players. Ball spent before control. Hospital handballs. Manic decisions to play on when not appropriate. I thought this was our best fwd line fielded tonight. Jvr hasn't fired. Fritta Ditto. Kozzie no goals. Bring on Turner. Wake up Goody. It's not working mate. What are you doing?

Viney you legend.

This is hard to watch. And just like that the Giants are winning. Time for sub Goody. Pickett and Fritta need to do something.

TG is a dead set constant cheat. Poor umpiring too. Rubbish.
