Lot of sniping going on from BoH powers that be. Kennett ripping on Melbourne again and Gary March (Richmond) taking aim at pretty much all the inter-state teams :-k

Interesting stat, I am guessing all those top games were at the MCG with all but 2 being intrastate derby games?

There probably isnt a sport anywhere else in the world that has such a big epicentre with such weak tremors externally.

That may be, but Franklin is guaranteed to put bums on seats and create conversation. Are there any midfielders of that calibre on Free Agency?


There aren't any midfielders able to put bums on seats but in terms of lifting the team there are a few quality midfielders available, although I can't see many being tempted.

Some potential quality FA midfielders: Dale Thomas, Heath Scotland, Scott Thompson, Nick Dal Santo, Lenny Hayes, Adam Cooney, Mark Lecras, Colin Sylvia.

That being said I can't see many of those listed being tempted unless the money on offer was ridiculous, and even then Daisy Thomas already rejected an offer to triple his Collingwood wages after our premiership season, and a club icon like Hayes isn't going anywhere. But if they could get a Dal Santo or a Cooney/Thompson and someone like Sylvia it would help their short term development more than Buddy imo.

GWS v Power generous estimate of 30 people per lower tier bay(upper tier appear to be virtually empty) equals 50 bays x 30 = attendance approx1,500 even if you allow margin of error and double attendance you get 3,000 max

It's going to be funny when the crowd is reported at ~6,000

If I've done my maths right, the average for only Victorian clubs is 40549.

And how does GWS have an average similar to what the Wanderers had?

I call bullshit. They haven't had a home crowd over 8,000.

So Collingwood have 70,000+ members yet get 32,000 for a game v a Melbourne team in Melbourne, do they count arms and legs for these membership numbers?

Good to see the Crows dropping further and that North Melbourne did not throw away a 6 goal start this week.

Oh, that's because they were sitting around the back, out of sight of cameras and vision. You don't realise how big afl grounds are, back me up with this mr football.

I assumed 6600 included the players, staff, cameramen and pie sellers.
Then again, unless AFL is 500 players per team, they still wouldn't have got there.

Sacked after a bye week. That has to be the biggest snub OF ALL TIME in the AFL.

Melbourne just need to sack their board and start over. 3 coaches in 4 years is insane. You can't polish a turd.
