Round 6.... free kick to Hawthorn

[Corona Man]

Another endorsement for Etihad... I don't really know why, but the locals won't go there...

Rubbish, plenty go there and love it. It's only Collingwood and Richmond fans who boycott it.
North and the Dogs just have stuff all fans

Reckon it runs a bit deeper than that... Whatever, I've only been once... I didn't mind it, but it ain't the G...

Nothing runs close to the G but Etihad is a good stadium. Hardly a bad seat in the place to view the game from and good facilities, when there is a good crowd in there the place really rocks. A couple of Hawks v Bombers games in recent years have been electric

Game I went to was Hawks v Bombers... And you blokes pumped us... Took my lad who was probably 15 at the time. Had a great night... Other than the result!

Friday night. 1 v 2. 2 Melbourne clubs. Under a roof. Empty seats a plenty.

Ports 45,000 crowd gets questioned....

Terrible crowd for a top of the table clash. It's a North home game and they draw ordinary crowds anyway but heard this arvo that they had bumped up level 2 seats to over $70 a ticket. Poor form by them if true

What are you on about jim. They just said the crowd was 47000

At the start of the game was only about 40,000, vacant seats everywhere. Level 3 has filled up a bit since the start

[Booney]

Good passage of umpiring there.

[Brodlach]

Where did the Roos get this young buck Waite from?

Ah, just pulled the trigger a bit early

[bennymacca]

Terrible free against Dickson there. It's like they don't want body contact in marking contests anymore

[helicopterking]

Guy holds his ground in a marking contest and gets pinged for a Sheppard. WTF
Dogs entry inside 50 is woeful this quarter.

Not at all, 10 minutes into the first quarter there were empty seats everywhere. Still not a full house now and wasn't a sell out

Ports crowd gets mentioned because their crowds like for like are on the decline compared to 2 years ago. The Victorian crowds are on the rise after 3 years of declining. It's laughable. SA and WA crowds are heavily scrutinised by senior AFL authorities and when they are on the nose the AFL in the past (under different, unbelievably biast and short sighted management) the crowd numbers were thrown in the face of teams outside Victoria in terms of prime time slots. Still didn't change at all when these numbers improved.

[helicopterking]

Some seriously tired football going on.

[Jim05]

Skills by foot are appalling so far. Too many guys missing easy targets, Dogs look a little overwhelmed so far

[Brodlach]

Game feels like the Roos are about 5 goals up but it's only 2 goals

Yep, had most of the play without making it count. We haven't run this hard or tried to move the ball so fast all year.
Hope we haven't been sucker punched here.

[helicopterking]

That Maclure bloke is an absolute stain.

[Jim05]

Is Dermie auditioning for Flock of Seagulls?

[mighty_tiger_79]

Bloody hell. Took the Roos 40+ and they are all over the injury savaged dogs

[Corona Man]

Is Dermie auditioning for Flock of Seagulls?

I was going Duran Duran myself...

[Brodlach]

That shithouse haircut he has made me turn the channel

[Corona Man]

Starting to think the Doggies ball movement is a little in decisive... But then again, maybe not... Can't decide!

[Spargo]

Frees 19-9 Bulldogs way yet they're 3 goals down.
Laughable.
