There’s more to life than footy. I’ve kids and a busy job so fitting in games isn’t always possible. I’m not going to get on supporters backs if they don’t want to go. It’s their decision. But spare me the lame excuses. We have a small core, relative to other clubs, of hardcore fans that will show up hail or shine. That’s the reality for us. No point self-flagellating because we had a small crowd at a late season game when our chances of finals have all but gone. This is who we are. Best to accept rather than engaging in loyalty tests and turning on each other.

jesus wept worse excuse ever if he was playing forward and we were winning i bet you they would show up

He's been a good pick up

Hawks will win their 2 games aginst tiges and North Carlton play Eagles next week. I don't fancy them to win that at all and especially if Curnow is injured. I don't know who falls out of the 8 so they get in. I reckon they're cooked.

you know its not Carltons day when Cripps gets pinged for a throw

Carlton have been torched today. And looks like they'll be out of the 8 to boot. Great to see

This thread is full of post hoc rationalisations It's a question of mindset. If you want to go, you'll find reasons to go If you don't want to go, you'll find reasons not to go

he's dead to me. just another oppo player

I hate the Hawks but they are playing blindly footy at the moment. very hard not to admire the way they go about it

Hawks only 2.4% behind Carlton now. Keep up their rate of scoring and they'll overtake them on the ladder.

curnow hurts his ankle. doesn;t look good

hawks not afraid to kick into the corridor and have nailed a couple so far

Hawks skills by foot very good. much better than us

Fast start Hawks

Giving games to the youngsters has to be the go. It's what end of season dead rubbers are for.

Tbh I won't mind Sunday timeslots next year. Means i can bring the kids to the footy more often.

Great effort from the Ozzie team. unbelievable medal haul. Just watched RayGun doing her break-dancing routine. It was terrible. Eddie the Eagle level terrible. And why is break dancing an Olympic sport anyways. I suppose we'll have ballroom dancing next

Why do posters get so precious about what Cornes says about our players. What did he say about Clarry this morning that was unfair or untrue? When he talks trade i take with a pinch of salt. when he talks effort and application he's usually on the money.

Cornes showed a package of Clarry's efforts from last night. I hope he has had gastro because the vision was damning

Bombers annual choking routine. Always a hoot to watch and helps distract us from our own worries and concerns

Petty competed really well last night I thought. Best game I've seen from him in a long while.

not correct. I'm on that line. they were running to Caulfield. change there onto the Frankston line to get to Richmond

not having to queue for the bar was great

Great effort night were very undermanned. And our skills are so bad. But we had plenty of heart and that counts. Not sure what some posters expect. Very hard to please. go dees

I stayed to finish my beer before catching the train. Caught the end of the bombers game. Biggest cheer of the night when Mac Andrew’s marked and goaled. Eat shti bombers
