I would like to express my utter contempt for the majority of the level 1 reserved seat holders.
Our boys have played heroically in recent years.
At the first time our boys are smashed, they get to look up and they see that masses of low life scum have walked out on them.
If you were one of these deserters that wet feeling you are feeling is probably my urine.

Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

I agree, Ace
Imagine if the players went home 10 minutes in to the last quarter. What would we say?

Very harsh.
I left and I'm not going to feel guilty about it. Don't normally leave, but tonight was an unusual situation being a work and school night.
My post on this from the other thread on this topic.
If we make the effort to get there with kids on a work night and a school night then we have the right to leave if the boys serve up that. I haven't left a game early for a couple of years at least...even refused to leave against ESS last year when everyone else wanted to go. Even stayed at the GF until the boys were off the ground.
So yes, I reserve the right to leave tonight when that was being served up. Will more than likely be up during the night with a sick toddler (who wasn't at the game) and school and work tomorrow. I made the commitment to get there, but when its as bad as it was tonight, I'll leave with no guilt. They even scored more goals on my way to the car. (we left about 1/2 way through the last.

I never leave early and never will.
actually the game could of been a lot closer if they left early, a lot of carltons late goals were our foolish mistakes.
we buy a membership, costing anywhere from $60-300....we pay to watch them, they play and get paid. we have every right to leave when we want and say what we want.
"Another storied win in Robert Harvey's career. They say he is the embodiment of their motto of strength through loyalty, and on the day he became just the tenth man to play 350 league games the saints reward him with a seemingly impossible victory."
But I can tell you I was certainly out the exit before that horrible song sounded.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Get off your high-horse.
Absolutely.
There are more important things to worry about than a few supporters leaving before the siren.

. I haven't left a game early for a couple of years at least..
Funny comment.
considering we haven't been beaten by more than 12 points in a long long time.
leaving the game early is not on no matter how you word it.
SOFT
I will not cop that. Leaving on a night like tonight does not make me soft. I was one of the few who stayed to the end after the GF, right up until the boys left the ground. Tonight was a totally different situation and with kids with school and a toddler to deal with who will more than likely be awake in a few hours, I'm not going to feel guilty about it. I made the effort to get there, and left when they hit 10 goals in front. Got home half an hour earlier because of it, have wasted an hour on here and am now going to bed. Not that anyone cares, but there you go.

I've never left a game early, and I was there till the boys walked off the ground tonight.
However, considering I was up at 1/4 to 6 for work, a measly half hour lunch break, rushing to be out of work on the dot of five, straight onto the highway and in the ground just in time for the game, then looking ahead to a slow trip home, a few minutes on SS to unwind then off to bed to be up at 1/4 to 6 again...... the thought did cross my mind that I could be home a lot earlier if we sneaked out early.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who found the Monday night difficult. Maybe that is an excuse for some?
Shattered dreams are just opportunities for improvement. Live and learn, fail and try harder. 2011 beckons.

So what your parents pay for is a waste??
the word is 'have' not 'of', meaning would have, not would of!!!
The players didn't even turn up, so it'd be hard for them to have left early.
I left our game at Kardinia Park in 1989 early, but only because the people whose car we were in wanted to. Plugger kicked his 6th after we walked out.
The last 15 minutes tonight were just painful. Knowing we were getting smashed but not being able to leave was bad!
I stopped watching the game on TV at half time. Its not enjoyable to see them get smashed, why waste my time on a team that didnt rock up to play when I have uni work to do?
In the emotion of last night, I forgot the other main reason I left. I go to games with my parents and son. All three of them wanted to go after the first goal of the last. I mananged to ward them off until the third or fourth goal but was fighting a battle I would never win and they were getting more and more annoyed at me for making them stay. It would have been world war three had I made them all sit there to the end, even though I would have if it were up to me. Words were had at the Ess game last year when we were well down. I got into an arguement by insisting on staying and we nearly pinched it. As a result we took separate cars to the GF because I decided I was staying til the end, until the players left the ground, no matter what the result, which I did.
I did not come on here then and abuse all those who left that day (many, many did). I did not call them deserters, soft etc etc. I don't think myself a hero for staying that day. It was my choice and it hurt. But I don't expect to be lumped into a group and abused for making that decision last night. Any reasons just sound like excuses, and to an extent they are, but last night for me was not worth the arguement.
Just saw in the paper that was our biggest loss since Round 12 2006. Had a few big ones in 2008 but they were obviously just under the 10 goals.
I'll be there next week supporting our boys.
We've had a great couple of years supporting our boys. Now is not the time to start turning on each other and the players after one (albeit terrible) loss. Yes we lost in Adelaide the other week but we were in it right up to the end. This was our first smashing in a long time.
We have dropped to 5th but we are same points as third and one game behind first and second. Lets see how it sits in a month. Certainly not panic stations just yet.

I didnt even go. At least those who left early made the effort. Monday night and work and school tomorrow. My wife stayed to end and didnt get home till just after 11.
I "for personal reasons" could not get there, but I am guilty of not watching the entire game on the box, it is funny I never leave early when I am at the game, but at home I crack it if they play as they did last night,I beg forgivness for this.
