I don't think there will be any. It would appear the injured players who got back in last week for Casey might get another run before the trip to Sydney the following week. Why change a winning team if the alternatives are still short of a run.

I have an X SA friend who goes to every Vic. Port Game well except the Cats where no one gets in. He tells me that before the virus they would get 10K to most G games.

All the time BDA, but the mention of the MFC smartly changes my humour. Honestly without being able to discuss them on here I would have tossed in the towel some years ago. You know talking on here is better than watching them some weeks. Lots of humour and different opinions.

Re no. 2 it has been this way for years and I have zero confidence it will change. The different between us and the top sides at present is our kicking deliver is terrible.

Only a small joke Tony, like you I much prefer to be at the game.

Why poita we are not that important in the scheme of things

Well if nothing else it gave me a laugh.

Stupidity!

I don’t think there will be many for Dees fans. How’s your TV working?

No! It's a midfielders award.

Now there it is!

Good question Mika.

Perhaps I am blind but I cannot Spargo mentioned there?

Oh WJ you forgot we are from a different age. Now everything is supposed to be instantaneous . Food, service, news, life. Patience is a forgotten item.

Polly you heard the story about one swallow and summer ?

GWS we were playing to get into finals, port have a lot of supporters in Victoria. Friend of mine who is X SA goes to all Vic Port games . Of those I doubt we were more than 30k.

Well said.

Glad to see you have a idea of what is going on the MFC. While we have 40k members a few thousand live interstate plus a number in the country. 40k equals 30k at most games.

I keep saying we should be playing these games at AFL central and games like saints at the G.

Don't agree Dr, you are blaming the members for decades of poor management and poor players.

Probably not helped by the fact we have a higher ratio of older members than most clubs.

When I started getting 2 emails a day I knew that tickets were going slowly.

Look at the 2 other games at the G. Tigers vs Carlton both have member numbers substantially bigger than us. Tigers are more than 100% more. Second game Pies and Dogs. Dogs are similar to us but pies more than double us. Both two local sides. While there was plenty of seats available I doubt there were any walk ups, just seen as two hard.

Spot on, I would say all the above contributed. However if you look at numbers going to Freo games in the past then today attendance is not a lot lower than the average. Even when playing a Vic. Team we struggle to get 30k to most games. There have not been many regular season games against Vic teams where we out number the other side.

Sending a pm.
