Unfortunately Tugga it wasn't a great game so I'd be surprised if many of those first gamers ever come backtugga wrote: A lot of first-game n00bs there last night, which is good. Hopefully they come back. Felt like an away game at stages.
It was a poor standard, but n00bs might not have realised that. Most n00bs feed off the energy of the crowd and that could not be doubted last night.heraldsun1 wrote:Unfortunately Tugga it wasn't a great game so I'd be surprised if many of those first gamers ever come backtugga wrote: A lot of first-game n00bs there last night, which is good.

The commentators did notice that Billy was taken out. The only people who missed it were the blind refs.Go Storm wrote:That was the warriors GF! For some reason they play their best game against us, probably won't win another all year.
I reckon our forwards did ok against those monsters. Remembering also that Woolly, Norrie and Vea were under injury clouds and hadn't trained.
Far too much dropped ball killed us tonight. Duffie, slater, Quinn and neilson all need super glue on hands.
Coops kicking game was woeful! He never went wide to open wingers on the last, and when've kicked out of our half it found their players every time.
Refereeing was definately the WORST I have seen for a long time.
Champion bombed two tries. First time he drew defenders but passed too late. Duffie then had about 1m to work with and got crunched. Next one was just greedy. I don't like to berate individuals when team plays shit but that effort was crap. He tried to slip through 3 defenders instead of passing to an open Duffie with 6m of free real estate between them= certain try.
Widdop's kick on the first was a good attempt at something different when everything else wasn't working. Slater was taken out but the shithouse refs missed it. All 4 of them ! I wonder if the replay shows this and if the co
Mentators picked it up??
Proctor played really well I thought. When on field he was into everything and almost made a couple of busts. Same great try saving tackles too. I can't believe some ppl on here have bagged him when I've picked him as my man of the match.
We need Sika and Thommo back

At half-time I went outside to have a ciggie and I saw stacks of people from Swan St. who snuck into the ground, its easy to do if you pick the right entry/exit. Very close to 26,000 after half-time and I hope some of them come back and pay next time aroundtugga wrote:Great crowd though. Was surprised to see there was 'only' 23,600. Seemed to be 26k easily.

The ground staff have no idea how to organise large crowds. My daughter and i were running a little late and ended up in our seats right on kickoff, i'm dissapointed to have missed the last post and anthem, etc.CooperCronk wrote:At half-time I went outside to have a ciggie and I saw stacks of people from Swan St. who snuck into the ground, its easy to do if you pick the right entry/exit.

Gates are open for everyone at half time anyway, just like they're open from three quarter time at the AFL.CooperCronk wrote:At half-time I went outside to have a ciggie and I saw stacks of people from Swan St. who snuck into the ground, its easy to do if you pick the right entry/exit.

kind of makes sense when you look at it like thatStorm Spirit wrote:
Hopefully Storm have a more liberal policy as it may encourage someone to come in and have a look and then come back for more !!

One thing to their credit is that at halftime it was still very quick and easy to use toilet and get some food. AAMI Park has always been exceptional in this department. The graveyard was very slow, and AFL games are a nightmare. I wasn't drinking so can't comment on bars.
