You just beat me to post this question. Completely surrounded by yellow and black on level 3 aisle 8. Didn't stop me jumping up and down when the tiger hit the post at the end though. Looking around telstra dome, i think saints fans would struggle to get to a third of the crowd. Saints support seems...

Gehrig seemed to spend more time in the goalsquare for the second half, and it was noticeable the balance was tipped in St kildas favour with him there, taking a defender allowing more opportunities for the team. Best example one of Milne's final quarter goals. He should stay up field more and be ki...

High flying hawks and a resurgent Richmond barely attracted much over 40,000 last week, so don't think we'll get above 40,000. Also the 3 or 4 thousand neutrals will pick the hawks collingwood game for their AFL fix this week.

Have we overtaken North Melbourne yet in memberships? are we likely to? Could there be a chance saints be sent packing to relocate if we can't get more members than North. Western Sydney. is this to be a relocated team or a new franchise from scratch. Would westaway sellout and take Saints to Wester...

I'm sick of the many all ticket games we are getting at telstra dome at the moment. This means time and extra expense booking tickets, when you already have paid for a membership. Should be played at the G, to accomadate all those that want to see the game.

My train was halted at North Melbourne @ 1905 as were all the others from the West and Northwest, so had to walk to telstra dome with lots of Essendon supporters. Only 20 minutes walk though and made it for the start with seconds to spare. If there was a casualty somewhere, glad he wasn't the sort w...

Grand final tickets should be allocated on the basis of how many games you attend of the finalists in the home and away season. The more games you see the higher your priority.

At half time against the dogs we were still 3 goals ahead, but it was obvious at that stage which way the game was heading. After 3 games we are ahead 2 and 1 on the ladder, but seems only some can see where the season is heading. How we have played means more than ladder position at this stage. Hop...

Saints maybe a chance if the game was to be played at skilled stadium. The Dome is just right for their style of play and they will be too good, hope i am proved wrong though.

It's up to the team to get their supporters shouting, afterall we pay to see them play, and they don't pay us to cheer. I do respond to what is going on in the play and so do most supporters, if saints had the night the doggies had i would be shouting and jumping out of my seat. As it turned out not...

North Melbourne beat saints to 30,000 members, and good on them. I'm glad they are putting up a fight and wish them well. Moving to the Gold coast would have been the death of the club and the new club would have been totally different with a few token initials on the back of the guernsey's collar. ...

I think the AFL are not strict enough, when there are team colour clashes. There are so many games when it is hard to tell teams apart. Some teams have so many colours such as Brisbane, Adelaide and Fremantle in their guernseys that there is bound to be a clash. Even the plainer guernseys can clash....
