Given the 18 behinds from the Collingwood game, 3rd (by a tiny margin) ain't bad!

WCW, that's too tantalising!! Following in Luci's footsteps... Bad omen: I've had food poisoning for the last 24 hours... also saw two magpies Good omen: woken up fresh today and ready to make it to the 'G! Also, my friend sent me my poetry horoscope from Twitter because it says 'It could be blue and red and forgiving.' Even the fake stars are aligned!

I think @Lucifers Hero might still have one or two?

One of my coworkers never misses a game, but he'll be missing the Collingwood game because last year the Filth supporters abused my coworker's son (who has Down Syndrome) to the extent security was called and the family left at half time. Unfortunately there are some pretty shocking supporters out there (not limited to Collingwood)

I misread Tmac as Trac and freaked out for a moment there 😂

I'd reckon even with a smaller supporter base, a lot of Demon fans have been making the effort to attend games this year. At work we have a Demons chat of about 20 people (tiny, I know), mostly based in Melbourne. At least 5 of us are interstate and we are all travelling down and meeting family / friends to support the Dees at on Monday. Further, at least 3 or 4 of us (myself included) all independently arranged to go to the Suns game. Now, obviously this is an incredibly small, anecdotal sample size... but none of us spoke to each other about whether we were going to games. So the effort is heartening to see!

I was speaking to a colleague who is a WAFL umpire about the professional vs part time debate for umpiring. He said most people were against it because they want to have other careers alongside umpiring. He additionally wasn't keen on it since focusing on umpiring all week would probably lead to overthinking, he prefers to have the change of focus. Apparently they now have two umpiring apps to lead to more consistent umpiring outcomes and better umpiring training / development. One app provides individualised feedback about performance on the weekend, and the other app has footage from the games with snippets based on the umpiring decisions being made. Don't know how long this has been in play, but maybe it will help things in the long run?
