    I would have liked a full rebrand and kept that jumper and name for state football history but if this is what they think will work then go for it.

    exactly

    i don't mind the logo personally, nor the name particularly (although the lack of n is just odd)

    but the state jumper? should've been a no-no

  2. maclure called it 'pathetic' on the ninefax realfooty podcast

    would love to share this with him but alas he doesn't accept feedback on any social media platforms:

    No ones crowd is a reflective of its membership (except GC, see below).

    2023 average H&A crowd vs final membership totals, pies had 106k members, averaged 60k at games or 57%.

    Tigers had 101k members who thought they were still good, 49k still committed enough to turn up or 43% - I’d expect they’ll get around 92k members this year as those bandwagoners realise its another rebuild.

    We got 56% of our member number to games on average at 39k of 70k, slightly above the overall average of 53%, so we bat above.

    Suns are an outlier as they got 82% at 19k ave crowd vs 23k members but that’s just cos their membership is so low, get 5k oppo fans to a game and you’re laughing. 

    Our crowds are fine, it’s bias and [censored] from the media and oppo fans that we don’t turn up (and it’s not much better when our own club talks us down as fans).

    FWIW there's a weekly thread on BigFooty where posters of all persuasions can offer their predicted results and crowd figures. After seeing this thread I went for a look to see what the great unwashed were anticipating. Aside from a couple of outliers, everyone was pretty close to the actual attendance.

    The footy media give me the irrits and the simpering twit that is Sam McLure annoys me more than most. The whole lot are best ignored.

    On the bright side, Matty Hill is calling footy games and Tom Browne is nowhere to be seen. A rare nett positive

    could you share the link pls? would be curious to see what people's expectations were

    No....they are being built for concerts i.e. like Baseball stadia because we are continually trying to be American

    and this is where they're completely delusional

    big tours that can fill baseball stadiums - the likes of taylor swift, pink, fredagain etc. - play primarily in melbourne and sydney, not even brisbane, let alone perth or adelaide - they're never going to play in tasmania

    when even fairly large acts like queens of the stone age play in tassie they're headlining tiny venues compared to what they can do in melbs or syds cos, well, hobart simply doesn't have the population to support tours by international acts

    How good is it to be super confident a player will hit a target by foot, or failing that at least not butcher it straight to an oppo player.

    he had one shank in the last that was a direct turnover and it stood out like a beacon such was its unusual nature

    good user

    Thoughts on our use of the wings? Langdon appears to be back to his best with gut run and link. Something new I was us splitting our offensive wing between Windsor from HB to center, and then billings from center to HF. The conditions and game plan suited Billings strengths to a tee.

    not sure i entirely believe these graphics as the amount of times on the afl members wing i saw langdon pass to billings was a delight

  7. i didn't see anyone slagging off the crowd but i'm going to presume it was sam maclure, again?

    i was thinking the crowd would be ~40k so ~45k was slightly above my expectation

    footscray don't draw crowds at the mcg; they barely draw crowds at their own dungheap at docklands

    The players were all over the idea of gather round. I didn’t hear any pushback or bargaining from them.

    If they go to 24 home and away games the aflpa should just fold.

     

    because they got paid for it

    the afl season starting in the first week of march is just absurd

    somebody is getting paid. i thought perhaps the goal umps are on a commission. some of the reviews today were pointless.

    the most egregious one was yesterday at taxpayer park, where the ball hit the post and went at right angles and the goal maggot STILL called for a review

    I still can’t believe we had to play them down there last year after they won the 22 premiership and we’d won the 21 premiership. A potential blockbuster game player at a stadium under construction. Tells you everything you need to know about those who run the AFL

    and to not have to go there this year we had to accept a pretty crummy fixture of short breaks between games

    the worst thing that happened to our club was being perennially poor on field during the dawn of the tv era
