ROUND 10 - Other Games

We need to get above Wc & port.
But ports fixture is shocking.
They play 1 hard game every 4 weeks
Gonna be hard Zips. We need to improve rapidly and also overcome City Hall bias. An elimination final in Perth or Adelaide would be very difficult. The free kick differential will be a new world record. At the G on the other hand...................

Only 23k at the G today. Are the Pies fans going to get smashed like the Tigers were????

There is without a doubt more Port fans than there were GWS.

And 3K+ of them were power fans. So 20K pies at the G is terrible. We had 19K at marvel where our supporters hate going to and on a cold 8 degrees sat night, plus no good for young families. Today perfect day, sunny.

I have always said about the pies when they show even an ounce of shitness their fans go AWOL
Wonder how they would fair if they were crap for 3 decades.

Keep powder dry there Mr P. Our fans have not been kicking the MCG gates Down this season.
Thats true but our lowest home crowd at the G this year was Sydney in Round 3 43.6k. A long way to drop that by another 20k.

It will be interesting to see how many we get next Sunday, somewhere around the same I would think, low 40ks

Suspect Port is in the midst of a heavy training block. No other reason for bookies offering $3 on a Port win + Charlie Dixon 1 goal.
Who assesses when teams are in heavy training blocks? I see it raised here from time to time to justify a string of below par form but have never heard Dimma mention it.

Still the highest-drawing team of 2021.

We sure are. You could see that on Friday. Sell out at the Gabba. Their 2 previous home games were 20k against Port and 15k against Freo. Sellout when we show up shows both that we have a lot of fans north but we also draw a lot of home fans out. Its why teams want to play us interstate and not at the G.

Yep, you can add no trains either that night, there is constant railworks happening on the Belgrave & Lilydale lines, will be happening for a few years yet. Had to bus it there every station to Camberwell, then train to Flinders, then wait nearly another 20 mins just to get to Southern Cross, disgrace.

Port are Shizen !
They won't make top 4. No chance.

It will be Smelbourne, Doggies, Brisbane and the Sooks in the top 4. We'll sit in the bottom half with Sydney, Port Powder and the West Coast Druggies. Need to finish 5th or 6th to get a home final. Win that and every chance we won't have to leave the G!
The Salt will then grow to epic proportions :)

Port are no threat. They’re almost as bad as the Eagles. Almost invincible at home; bog average away. Easy draw too. No threat on the G in September. Just hope we are there to take advantage.

yep, you really want to be involved in the 2021 finals,

cause there will be 7 sides there who dont have a genuine claim to be premiers IMO.

I've heard that too about train lines which are causing havoc getting into the city. I drove in and parked at marvel $32 what a rip off but I knew that would be it, no more playing at marvel in 2021
