I was there. As I said in my post you responded to if you cared to read it properly.
It didn't look like a 44k to me but as others have responded likely because people took cover between the stands, in bars etc. to avoid the sun.
Has slotted in nicely.
Goes to show the value of being patient with youngsters. They come on at different rates and it looks like blake needed a little longer to get ready for AFL footy.
MFC development philosophy and approach vindicated again.
I was there. didn't look like a 44k crowd to my eye. One of my kids couldn't go because of a clash with a basketball game but i had downloaded her ticket. how is the crowd number determined. tickets sold or numbers through the turnstiles.
The big surprise of the season so far is how poor the Lions and pies have been.
I don't think the pies are top 4 material and the way the Lions have gone wouldn't surprise me if they miss top 4 as well.
Plenty to like.
bb, chandler, billings all good. Tmac some wayward disposal but not bad.
Clarry in a champion. Max very good. Trac in bursts was good.
fritschy was off. Sparrow peripheral.
kicking and handling skills clunky at times.
great to win the first win under the belt.
smashing day at the g.
go dees
