Does anyone know the crowd size last night?

A hell of a down grade from single malt to sherry. Like Champagne to river water!

Dees by 7 points after almost being run over in the last quarter.

So what did you do after you woke up?

Zero

I would think it is low.

Probably bought memberships because the think they have a better chance of a GF ticket.

2023 IMO

De Goey.

On that basis you never make a change.

If he goes anywhere it will be to Geelong.

Goakeepers! It is Aussie rules we are discussing.

Where getting desperate when we have to go back to the 70"s and 80"s Macca.

Could not have said it better dstone.

Old hat now dc. It’s the Weid now.

Covered it well there. If the the team needs us to be like the pies supporters we are doomed to failure.

I struggle with the concept that our future success is tied to being rowdy supporters.

What I find quaint Bbo is the idea that somehow we are to blame for the teams failures.

Agree but it won't happen in one season.will take a decade. Pies have seldom been out of finals and over the same 50 years have given their fans way more joy than us.

We had 50 years of getting beaten on a regular basis in other words half a centre. Most supporters are used to keeping quiet so as to not aggravate the pain. That eventually turned to pity by a large percentage of opposition supporters. Then we finally have some success from 2019 and make the gf in 2021 and win it. However the vast majority of us were locked up here in Vic while the games were played interstate with the GF in WA. So we could only yell and carry on in our lounge rooms. Comes 2022 and half way through the season we look like we are returning the the demons of old. So perhaps we are returning to the safety of ambiguity. Don't put your head up or we will lock stupid. I don't know to be honest but perhaps that is one element.

But they sure as hell keep the wolves from the door.

That doesn't fix the forward line.

That covers it rpfc, I don't think there will be mass changes. Sadly for Smith I think he will be at Casey this weekend. The stupid bye robbed him of any chance of being selected after one average game after a long time out injured.

So the only conclusion I can draw from all this is that we have somewhere between 10 and 20K supporters who only buy a membership to get a final ticket. That may well be the case. The up side, I will take their money and be happy about our increased coffers.

I was joking
