Why We Are Better Than The Rest Geoff McClure notes in The Age Sporting Life today, that tomorrow night Carlton will be the first club to pass the 1 million spectators mark this year. Beating out of course our collegues from the Lexus Centre. |

Our crowds would be better if we still played at Princes Park. |

It's not bad considering we only play 8 games at the G and the ferals have 14. |

Heard Sheeds speak at a social function the other night....said it was really difficult to pick up the phone to Collingwood to propose the Anzac day match.......mentioned that he thought about ringing us but that would have been more painful

This is nearly true. We still need to get more than 62,000 on Friday night. If we don't, Collingwood will be the first club past the 1,000,000 mark. |

Proof again that you can't manufacture... Rivalry Round Heritage Round Blockbusters They are, because they are. Money can't buy it, and on-field performance - we've been shit for years - can't shake it. We are the navy blues. |

This my be a little off track but can someone tell me who gets the money? If it's our home game and 80 000 rock up do the Blues gets the lot or does the other club get a portion, after the AFL take their cut of course. ??? |
