Never quite grasped why he was one of the whipping boys.
Because he would kick goals some weeks and disappear other weeks. He was completely inconsistent.

No others players like that?

Honestly if I could guess it would be the timeslot and the fact the game day experience leaves a lot to be desired as you're constantly being shouted at with incessant and high pitched bullshit. I went to the WC game and whilst the game itself was fantastic the "entertainment" was utter rubbish and made me not want to go to every game.
Now it could be that it's something I've got to get used to again, and perhaps some folks are like me and might take a bit of time after the last year we've had, but watching from the couch - commentary notwithstanding - isn't nearly as offencive to the senses.

Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R5 2021
Thought it was a great result, albeit with some blemishes that we need to take notice of and ensure we can tighten up to avoid in the future.
We're 5-0 and our percentage is fantastic. Pretty happy right now.

Back home from the game now.
Top of the ladder 5-0 178.6%. Great stuff!
Planning tomorrow on going to a pub in the inner west to celebrate tomorrow.
Go Dogs!

I know my elderly mum and auntie don't go because they can't be bothered with the ticketing, even though I would organise. They are members.
Spoke to a gent walking from the WO to the station today and he said the same thing. He's a member but doesn't have a smart phone (had an older one) and couldn't be bothered. I said it was pretty straight forward for me but understood the angst.
Maybe school hols too?
I thought it was really a poor crowd.

Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R5 2021
One of the more ordinary 10 goal wins
We got complacent in the third which was disappointing but it happens. I’m glad we finished strongly as those kind of sloppy efforts can become just as contagious as better habits can. I think we’ve become a little over- confident in all those talls. We had plenty of time in the first half and still just bombed away. A better side would have made us pay. Still, a great start to the year.
Really disappointed with the crowd given how we’re playing, and Bont’s milestone.
I said on Twitter that the noise level from the “entertainment” was intolerable. It was impossible to have a conversation. I’m against it on principle, it adds nothing to force feed us this tripe, but if it’s going to happen, can the decibel level be reduced because it came close to ruining the afternoon.

Next 2 matches for us will be good challenges.

Yeah it really is intolerable and its why I dont bother going to matches that often.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

We should let the club know. Not sure anyone will listen but at least they will know that the “audience” they think they’re “entertaining” don’t want every second filled with inane drivel.

Whenever AFL send those surveys out I always blast them for the volume. I’ve taken to wearing noise cancellation headphones. Folks have no idea how much damage you can do to your hearing. I am concerned every time I see really young kids ie babies or toddlers without hearing protection.

Thanks for the insight.
I enjoy the 4.30ish time slot but maybe it doesn't suit enough. I listen to the radio so I really enjoyed the experience.
