His a cracker but like the rest of them he will leave first chance he gets. I'm a fan of Nick's but our forward structure is amateur at best. When the talls constantly lead to all the wrong spots and poor little Rowe and mchenry have to make a contest for us in the forward half, easy misses at goal are very costly between that and kicking the ball to the crowd probably 5 to 6 times the skill set must improve quickly I think this team will be struggling for the remainder of this season and for a few season yet. well done to keays today incredible work ethic.

Rowe was really good today for you guys in pushing up that bit more. He makes good decisions, natural footballer so I think that was alright.

Your talls, well you need to start with something, Thilthorpe is obviously a talent and will find his place but Fogerty should have learnt some forward craft by now. So that is bit of a worry. Not sure Himmelberg is going to make it.

Walker coming back in a few weeks will just paper over these cracks.

Electronic ticketing being blamed in a lot of quarters.
I think the AFL would be reasonably happy with the first 4 games in Melbourne especially considering St Kilda and Geelong were the "home" teams in their matches.

PS I took the wife to two games so I did my bit! The atmosphere in Melbourne was awesome, the whole city was going off. Notsomuch interstate though, should have started with derbies for the interstate teams IMHO.

PPS official crowds so far:
Melbourne v Bulldogs 58.002
Carlton v Richmond 72,179
St Kilda v Collingwood 40,129 (there was virtually no tix available for this game a week out)
Cats v Essendon 54,495
GWS v Sydney 25,572
Brisbane v Port 25,100
Hawks v NM 38,270 (what happened to Hawthorns 50 gazillion members?)

Update:
Crows v Freo 28,186
WC v GC 20,932 (shit time and half capacity)

Average in Melb: 52,615
Average outside of Melb: 24,790

Sloane's made no sense on that vision but it was the close up from another angle of what happened after he had the player on the ground that got him. Looked like a rake of the eyes.
