There are plenty of reasons to criticise the AFC without making shXt up. The average crowd over the 5 games this season is 46,372. The average crowd for the first 5 games last year was 40,327 which included matches against Collingwood, Carlton and Richmond. The only apples for apples...

I was trying to ascertain why anyone would think our crowds are falling? My impression, attending all home games, is that crowds have increased this year. Do you think crowds are falling due to the horrible performances by the Crows this year?

Are our home crowd this year the highest since 2017? Do you attend home matches? The Western Stand has been at 70% full in recent years but have been close to 100% most games this year. I was surprised that there was more than 40,000 on Mothers’ Day afternoon. Last year the Brisbane game had...

Newchurch 🫢🫢🫢🫢🫢. Last sighted playing with the North Adelaide RESERVES and has since disappeared. Such a big loss, particularly to all those who were outraged he wasn’t given AFL games last year.

I went to the MCG on Saturday and we paid less than $40 for excellent tickets in the Olympic Stand. The equivalent seats at Adelaide Oval cost between $85 and $120 for a one-off purchase. There is no doubt that Sunday will have a below average crowd, possibly even as low as the Pear average...

1) Earlier this year Rob was interviewed and said he had been too obsessive with his training regime last year. It was recommended that he ease back a bit and he said he was trying to adopt a more balanced approach to both his training and his studies. 2) ROB has occasionally missed the...

I will admit that I was keen for Curtin to get a run in the AFL but I did say that he was struggling defensively in the SANFL. He struggled with the SANFL key forwards but he couldn’t keep up with the nippy small forwards. Imho, his ideal spot is the Worrell role and if he is fit I hope he...

How did you rate Cook’s game? Do you attend the game or watch it on the tellie?

Riddle me this Drugs. 1) Which team has had the most players debut since 2020? 2) Which team has had the lowest games played by 100+ game players since 2020? 3) Which team has given the most games to players with less than 50 games experience since 2020?* *Hint; This team has given more...

What an inconvenient truth Carmo. Some have assured us again and again that we will have more chance of winning if we get rid of every player 30+ years of age.

Billy has developed into a good in and under inside midfielder. He gets his hands on the ball and usually handballs it to the advantage of a team mate. Unfortunately for Billy, he has Crouch and Laird currently in front of him in this role. We have been playing him as a part time inside mid...

And in the space of a minute, Harry blows his chance for an AFL recall.

Still a crazy chance. Borlase has improved so much over the last three years. Berry influential but can he crash through tackles at AFL level? Some great signs from Edwards and Ryan.

If you had read my posts, I stated that Murphy should not be selected imho. It doesn’t mean that posters should make up s**t about Murphy. If he stuff things up then it’s fair enough to post it but making up s**t in the Trumpian universe doesn’t make things true.

The boys are hanging in there, much better than anticipated. Murphy only 11 disposals and a goal to half time. That is 10 more disposals than Cooky had in the last 80 minutes against the Pear.
