An interesting statistic: this is the 19th year in a row that the Swans have had the highest average attendance across all clubs in all codes in Sydney.

Any chance we could bring back Voss? :lol:


Apparently we're talking to Leppa. On one hand, I think he'd do well, he's well experienced as an assistant. On the other, it's really not an upgrade on Voss, all things considered.

Pet memberships :lol:


In all seriousness, I don't know that record memberships are necessarily a good thing. I mean look at GWS - the reported membership count goes up by ~2,500 and the average attendance drops by nearly 1,000.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Western_Sydney_Football_Club#Support

If this sort of inverse relationship between (reported) membership numbers and the number of people who actually attend matches keeps going, pretty soon GWS will be trying not to get new members, otherwise there will be no-one at the games.

Very true. Maybe this is a question for the ALF to have an investigation or is Herald Scum in their pocket? :-k

Was the lead story on National Nine News in Melbourne, and yes they reports are it was definitely footy related.

The A-League "riots" to which you refer usually took place at the games themselves, while this event took place at the station and although there victims were wearing Carlton memorabilia there is no evidence that the assailants were football-related.


You're wrong, the bulk of those ratings are FTA, and they are AFL specific.

So for the first weeks of finals, 4 games, that's a total of 4.6 million in ratings (Fox plus FTA 5 city metro).

WITNESS APPEAL - RICHMOND ALTERCATION

http://www.vicpolicenews.com.au/news/1353-witness-appeal---richmond-altercation.html

Police are appealing for witnesses after an altercation between a group of men near Richmond Railway Station last night.

It is believed the fight took place between four men on Stuart Street about 8pm.

Two of the men, who were wearing Carlton Football Club clothing, were knocked unconscious during the altercation.

The pair, a 34-year-old Heathmont man and a 31-year-old Heidelberg man, were taken to hospital and treated for broken noses.

Public Order Response Team members attended the scene and spoke to a 25-year-old Chelsea man and a 26-year-old Clayton man.

The Clayton man was wearing Richmond Football Club clothing.

Both men have been released pending further enquiries.

Investigators believe a number of people may have witnessed the altercation and are currently reviewing CCTV footage in the area.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au

The third tier also looked rather empty for a Pies match. How much will the ALF loose due to the Power getting up?

Scott Burns would have to be a decent shout surely, from what I hear he's pretty highly rated as an assistant.
