Where are these 45,000 fans? Looks like 40k tops

10 more years of it at every home game & it will be a major discussion point

Surprising what happens with the calls when you get more then 20k to a game.

Still probably 10k more than they would ordinarily get

Oh dear Cloke...

Ugly game.

Yep, good to see the Dog drop being paid by the umps today though.

Suckling 7 clangers and 3 frees against in a half of football

Except the Bont - he's thrown it all day and got away with it

Cloke already with more free kicks than his entire career at Collingwood

I reckon he is one of the most overrated players in the comp. a mate of mine loves him I tell him all the time he'll have 1 cracking kick in ever 6!

He third man up rule is a farce. Why was it even that big a deal in the first place?

What a great last quarter

His second half was very good

Once again, the AFL make a rule without thinking through how the coaches and players will manipulate it. It's a complete joke, just like the 'not keeping the ball in' rule.

The competition is becoming an absolute joke.

I can actually see the logic behind the deliberate rule. But not the third man up

And watch how once they realise there is issues rather than revert back to the initial ruling which was fine we will get a second rule implemented to try and fix it

I went last night, when they announced the end of the Good Friday ban I wanted to go and have a look and am going to 5 games over this weekend in Melbourne.

-First half was absolute bruise free and skill error garbage.

-Second half a lot more action and excitement, Dogs lucky and North very unlucky.

-North should be 2-2 but how many 5 goal leads have they coughed up in last few years?

-Dogs struggling to recapture that amazing form they showed last September.

-I thought they would have got 45K but they can build on this and incorporate more of the Good Friday Appeal, both clubs first 3 games have probably kept people away.

Glad I went and looking forward to more footy today.

Fyfe easily the best player in the competition!!!
