Not an excuse, fact.
If that game was at Footy Park they would of struggled to get 20,000 there

I went to the Port game last week. Not at one stage did it piss down with rain. It drizzled a little during the first quarter.

Poured in the morning and during the day which does keep numbers down. The weather reports were predicting more rain aswell, I have no doubt plenty would of had that on their mind and decided to stay home

If they looked at radar they would have seen it was moving around Adelaide and not going through. Piss poor excuse. Crows would have attracted 48k still

Crows only got 47k to Freo on a Saturday. Reckon they would of got low 40's to Brisbane at 4:10 on Mothers Day.
Sunday 4:10 is the worst timeslot in the comp but I'd still think last weeks crowd was about 7-8k short of what Port would of been expecting. Starting to see some poor crowds all around the comp ATM

Lol. Can't believe there's arguments about crowds. Classic.

Two months back before the season started if you said we would be 4-4 I would have taken it. I honestly thought we could have been 7 or even 8 losses based on a pretty tough early draw. Losses to North, Geelong, Bulldogs and Hawthorn is nothing to lose that much sleep over. The form of Freo and Richmond had surprised me and I think we got to play Port at the right time. Really played out of our skins (and need to) to beat the Swans here.

A heap of improvement is needed but still a pretty young side trying to cover the loss of probably the comps best player. I think people were seduced by early form and started talking top 4 way too prematurely! the better sides have worked out how to beat our game plan so we need to adapt now. Walker has been down but no coach in the AFL would drop him from that side on current form, tend to agree with Wayne Carey a bit on Jenkins - he will never demand an oppositions best 1 or even 2 defenders especially while Walker is in that side. The Cats didnt seem to have 1 or 2 best defenders, they are pretty much covered across the whole back 6. Our back 6 have been OK but really miss Laird this last two weeks and have to say I struggle to see how Cheney is currently in our best 22, maybe only saved by Laird being out at the minute. Scoreboard flattered us really last night, Cats should have put us away early. If we start losing the real winnable games like GC, Ess, Bris Id be concerned. Earlier in the year would have inked in wins against the Saints, Melb and Carlton but they are no longer a given either. Would need to target a key mid in next years trade to assist Sloane once Thompson pulls the pin - B Crouch has potential to be special but needs a heap of time to find his feet, his brother while he is OK sometimes I think we got him to keep Brad here.

BTW - I really hate us playing Friday night footy! Cant remember the last one we won and leaves me depressed all weekend!

Geelong scoreline flattered us, we should have been down 40pts at half time.
