    Disappointing Crowd

    I expected there would be at least 45,000 there yesterday, but unfortunately our supporters do not stick with us through thick and thin. The crowd of just under 40,000 to me is very disappointing. The row I sit in on level 2, aisle 31 was empty, usually full.

    OK, we lost three in a row, but playing a younger team at Etihad gave us a big chance, surely we could have been supported more. Tiger fans were everywhere. (later seen ripping up membership cards )

    Re: Disappointing Crowd

    I thought the crowd was reasonable, with the most notable area being the Medallion Club was nearly empty. It's all pre-sold, but if they don't turn up the overall crowd figure is down. If they showed up the figure would have been 45,000.

      The gaps in the forward pocket at our end was a disgrace, was there any reason for that?

            Was down Richmonds end. Was horrid. I do wish we were more vocal, but I think those Richmond fans go over the top a bit too much... when you're 50 points down, shut upppppp.

              The Ferals were everywhere! Having said that they don't like Etihad as a rule, every clb is the same just take a look at Stkilda's next home game.I thought 40 was pretty reasonable personally

                I got into a heated debate on the Riewoldt charity with one of the Ferals.
                Said it was a free, I claimed he dived.

                        They're awful supporters. Who'll ever forget the spitting and abuse Frawley's family got!
                        Just read that abomination Punt Rd End having a crack at our fans not turning up.
                        Vividly recall low feral count in the last couple of years when playing them.
                        Two finals series in 30 years, and they're having a crack at our crap history!
                        Finally special thanks for taking Jordan and handing us Callan Ward.

                          I actually thought of you at the time, wondering if you thought it ran in the family.

                              I missed due to Metro's works on the three lines I would normally travel on. Damn you, Metro.
