Small crowd

[chook23]

At game very small crowd....a message to club

Richmond get more to training

[saintspremiers]

14,952

Not a bad crowd considering we only got 19K vs Adelaide and how we have been playing.

[Con Gorozidis]

Big concerns.
Wait till the weather gets cold and wet....

[BackFromUSA]

Was proud to be there with my old man.

[philtee]

Metro line closures east of city would have kept a few fans away.
Replacement buses between Camberwell and city added 30 minutes to journey time each way.
I know - I was dopey enough to take the replacement bus and arrived 20 mins into 1st quarter.

[kosifantutti]

The 14,900 Saints fans were making a lot of noise in the last quarter.

[saynta]

Fans who didn't go missed a great match.

If any one boycotted due to previous performances ..hang your head in shame.

Sounds like someone with excuses and didnt attend the game. Soft.

Low scoring but pulsating contest. Never a boring minute. Rare to see in any match/any team

[thejiggingsaint]

Staggered into The Dome we call Home suffering from terminal jet-lag, and with little appetite for the game, but those of us who were there saw a great effort from both the team and the crowd. Good to be back. See youse in Tassie next week! GO SAINTS!

Why?? I am a paid up member and contributed plenty to the club this year through memberships and reserved seats at Etihad. If I choose not to waste a few hours watching the crap that had been served up the previous few weeks, that's my prerogative.

I will get along to the next game because I saw a totally different mindset out there today - even if they'd lost today, I loved what I saw and would still go next week against Hawthorn. Have you ever thought that our guys looked up today and thought jeepers, we have lost our fans, we'd better extract the digit today.

Jiggster. Absolutely thrilled you’re back. Had been a bit worried!

It was like there were 40 thousand of us in the last 10 minutes. Glad you were one of them.

Twirly Head are you saying I wasn’t there?

Well if so you are wrong buddy!

Were you there??

No I don't think the team looked up at at the first bounce & collectively decided to pull the finger out.
I think it had far more to do with the weeks training, preparation & pre-match

As for our 40,000+ members...
Awww was it too hard getting to the ground ?
Is it getting a bit cold for you to step outside ?
Is it more convenient to sit in front of the big screen at home ?
- "Can you get me another drink Dear ?"
- " I'm too comfortable to get up"

Get off your asses, get to the game, support your club

I don't understand people who say-" I'm not going till they win"

well you wont be there when they do if you follow that philosophy- and you will miss the magic days like yesterday-

Well said Bratty! Kudos!

[mightysainters]

The philosophy is why go if they don’t even look like they’re trying.. yesterday restored the faith, effort and commitment is what fans are looking for.. not just ‘winning’

Fair comment.

[stonecold]

Too many fickle supporters!!!!!

Exactly. I was there, but I wasn't exactly looking forward to it. Can't wait for the Melbourne game now.

Absolutely.....at least someone understands

At what point have they ever looked like they are not trying? Certainly not the Geelong game, skills and decision making lacking, not effort. Don't have an issue with those that can't get to a game, but if there are people who deliberately didn't go because we have been losing I think it is pretty poor. The same people are happy to sit on the computer and pot players, coaches and administrators for lacking effort or ability, yet they have one job as a supporter and it is as simple as turn up and make some noise, and they can't do it.
