  2. the people who actually care and understand crwods are in the big foorty forum "2024 AFL attendance". everyone agrred that 44K was a good effort.

    Sam McClure and Caroline the hag just like bashing the smaller clubs.

    If we can bring 35K people to our home games against the Melbourne clubs and 30K for our home against GWS/Port/West Coast we will have great crowds this year.

  3. Tmac deserves some credit, best game of footy he has played since 2018.

    World has forgotten he was a near AA CHB. Hopefully he can lock that spot down which will help free up Lever.

    Ben Brown a similar story.

    How hard is it to put the numbers up?

    Our ever reliable comms. team still has last years figures on the website.

    Exactly this, mist teams have already published theirs.

    Disgusted with how our preseason has gone?

    Disgusted?

    For pete's sake we've had one player get pinged last season (the news came out post season).

    And with clarry, the club has handled a tricky situation super well and he has gone off and worked his backside off to get into AFL level shape.

    The club has reintegrated him super well and  a player  many feared might take months to get back, IF AT ALL, is in the frame for round one selection.

    Huge tick to clarry and the club.

    Gus has had to retire through no fault of his own - or the clubs.

    And we've had a handful of bog standard injuries, none from mismanagement as far as I'm aware.

    All that after was generally accepted to be a successful trade and drafting period.

    And that disgusts you?

    Seriously, get a grip.

    And perhaps turn of SEN, get off twitter, put down the hun and stop slavishly buying into the media's hysteria theatre.

    Well done mate, you keep making my point about being unable to take any criticism.

    You choose to attack me every time I post and yet all you are is an apologist for everything that goes wrong.

    If you think nothing is wrong, you're a fool. Go and look at the last two years, our off-field is no good and unstable clubs do not win flags.

    What do you expect?

    We were a laughing stock for all of my generation, we finally crack it and then we're back to being a failure after a flag and consecutive top 4 finishes in the two years since - really?

    I'm proud of my club and I say a big F U to any that want to keep sh##ing on us.

    Yes we're still to forfill that illusive premiership on the G, but not for lack of being in the race.  Biggrst one hit wonder, pfft.  Yeah nah.  And I'll say, we're down right now, but not out of the race for another just yet either, so a premature call at best.

    I expect that when criticism comes our way that our supporters do not go down the Collingwood/Richmond supporter pathway of being supportive in an obnoxious way.

    I am allowed to be disgusted in the way this off season has gone but i still plan on going to over 20 games to support them.

    You are allowed to proud of the club but also cross with how the last two seasons have gone imo.

    Your probably better served making a week of it....some time in the Hills and Valley. I'm sure pre booking was the smart way to go. Accomodation probably doubled for the football weekend. Airfares probably went up as well. Sadly greedy Vendors and companies shoot themselves in the foot with these events.

     

    They've hardly shot themselves in the foot, all the games are sold out and nearly every hotel is full.

    I am currently in SA. It appears that most decent accommodation is already booked out. Thankfully I booked our accommodation as soon as the Gather Round was announced. I tried to upgrade my accommodation but was told they were fully booked. I have also been told most of the decent restaurants are also heavily booked. Might be worthwhile to do a bit of forward planning if you are planning on coming to SA.

    Booked our hotel the day they announced the dates and will be driving so dont need to deal with airfares

  9. Hello all,

    I have 4 extra tickets for Gather Round for the Adelaide v Melbourne game.

    They are in bay 302, category 1 seats with a cost price of $160 each as part of the 4 day pass. I ended up getting seats in Melbourne bay as well so am looking to offload the 4 seats in 302.

    Happy to discuss pricing but would like to try and get around $100 per ticket to try and recoup some losses.

    Would very much prefer they go to A Melbourne supporter before I got to an Adelaide forum.

    The game is sold out.

    Carlton surely is the most Liberal (in politics terms) of clubs with big money going back all the way to Sir Robert Menzies via Sir Maurice Nathan, John (Liberal Party bagman) Elliott and numerous others. 

    But Hawthorn is one of the most strongly Liberal voting areas in classically loyal Liberal localities until the Teals came along.

    Geelong is a different matter. Lots of votes and multiple electorates. Labor and Liberal governments (think Bracks-Baillieu- Andrews) have thrown money down there.

    8 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

    yet our actual 'base' of supporters has swung green, teal, and red

    glen iris, malvern, malvern east, caulfield - all skewing left

    Every single one of those areas Malvern, Caulfield, Brighton, Toorak, Sandy etc all still voted liberal last year.

    The teals are a different matter at the federal level because Goldstein and Kooyong both include much lower income areas.

    Our actual base of supporters still make up the highest percentage in the MCC and the least in the AFL reserve and that should tell you enough.

  12. Governments give money to areas where their voters reside. We are the most labor state in the country and our club is the most liberal (from a supporter base) in the state. So, it makes sense that labor governments throw money at the likes of Hawthorn and areas like Geelong for funding.

  13. 14 games at the G, most we have had there in forever. Double ups are fine, Port and the Dogs to slide hopefully, Freo and West coast are good and then need to match it with Collingwood and Brisbane.

  14. It’s so disappointing that all our fans seem to do is complain about the fixture on here.

    when we were getting Saturday and Sunday games in the arvo or twighligjt all people would do is cry for more Friday night exposure.

    Now that we get Thursday/Fridays/opening games/ multiple public holidays, all people seem to do is complain.

    We should be happy our team has success and is put in prime time slots. We should not be finding excuses to not watch the team we’ve all waited for decades to become good. 
     

    Bring on March 7.

    So we play Sydney up there and play Adelaide in Adelaide as part of the collective round or what ever they call it. It looks like we will be dudded again on the draw. I will bet we play in Perth or at Geelong on the last round. Bit of salt on the wound.

    Stop winging, we open the season and open gather round (that Adelaide-Carlton game was electric last year). Its great exposure for the club. I have already booked my tickets for both.

    And we absolutely want west coast in Perth again because why would you want to waste home ground advantage on them?

    Being dudded is all relative based on who is actually good during the season as opposed to who you think will be good 5 months before the season starts.
