Hey. Just wondering about the crowds at matches this week. I had a stab that there was about 1,200 at Williamstown v Box Hill, and Geelong v NthBallarat was not applicable. Tassie v Casey ? Bendigo v Werribee ? Sandy v Port Melb ? Preston v Coburg? Just have a realistic stab, don't be too generous though.

Cramer Street has terrific atmosphere when there is a large crowd. The game Richo played for Coburg was great and adds a bit of life to the place. I know that these days crowds like that a few and far between. But big deal I prefer the local footy whether it is Williamstown, Sandringham, Port, Preston rather than Telstra 'Turd' Dome. I went to watch Richmond get slaughtered to the dogs at Turd Dome and in the locker room bar they sell plastics cups of light beer for $5. Absolute joke. Soft rules, footy indoors, rip off prices and robots on the field. To top it off light beer in plastic cups. Give me a tough suburban man to man duel. Give me a group of Port Melbourne supporters hanging it on the opposition full back. Give me the can hill mob at Sandy. Give me diehard Williamstown supporters braving the wind, rain and chill. Give me the Frankston ferals on the hill under the scoreboard berating opposition players especially the AFL listed players while banging on the drums. The REAL FOOTBALL !!!!
