Problem is that there are other clubs with supporters who would show up if they were scheduled at the G. 29k turned up to Marvel for Essendon v GC... -
So if were winning would more people be turning up or is the game style that bad that it turns you off completely? No wrong answers, but it would be good to know how many people feel like this.

But why should we bother going then? I do see what you're saying in that the broadcast money is probably a lump sum anyway but you still like to think that when you come to the game that you're supporting the health of the footy club financially as well as the team on the day. Is this just old fashioned thinking now? Do the networks really care how it looks on TV once they buy the rights?
-
Sure, but how many of these clubs go sub 20k at the G on a Sat night when they are still technically in the running for finals? There's a bare minimum and I don't feel we are reaching it. I'd rather not start getting Docklands home games as a result of it, the health of the club is important.

I've been out for a couple of hours around the Prahran area and already seen a heap of Blues and Hawks fans around. This would have been the prime Sat night game and I wouldn't blame them if they were annoyed about being relegated to the early Sun timeslot, I'm sure we would have complained about it in the past.

The players look pretty confused with the gameplan right now and in this game we defaulted to players gravitating to the boundary. We aren't what we were when it comes to repeat stoppages, we needed to be bold and take the game on more through rhe middle. I hope we stick with what we were trying to develop earlier in the year, teams need a good transition game at the moment and I'm confident this method while keeping elements of the old one will bear fruit.

18 I50 entries for 1.8 in the last. Almost the exact same thing against Adelaide. Been saying it all year, they are not a good team Essendon. Finals football is for good teams.
-
We really lost our dare late in the game. We head to the boundary so often to the point where it's become a crutch. The problem is, if you want more stoppages, you need to be a good contested and clearance team which we are not right now. It's almost impossible to tell who our CHF is at any given time because we don't kick there.

Well done to the Suns! Absolutely sensational Mac Andrew!

Aside from a ripping midfield, I would not be that fussed about playing Port in finals if I were one of the other sides in the 8. 56 entries for 53 points. Aging forward line and average backline. Premierships are won with what you do without the ball and Port just don't do enough for me in that area.
