R26: 41st F3Derby + Legends match

[pjennings]

I thought the crowd seemed spot on. Disappointingly low but that really has be expected given the table position we found our self in after last week and given last season.

That said, it was a good crowd, they all wanted to be there for their team. It's funny that sometimes a low crowd means no atmosphere, sometimes it just makes it more personal.

 

[Big Al]

The night game also helped with the atmosphere, the boys playing well aslo pushes that along

 

[Wombat]

Not sure which of you it is that works with jets fans, but have a great day

Centrelink employees and Parole officers??

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Yeah be interested to hear the club fingures on Jets supporters. Be very surprised if it was over 500.

So 7.5k for us while we're spooning, 5pm on a Sunday again, after the 3 years we've been handed, is pretty damn decent I think.

Theory on our strong tv ratings... maybe Sunday's at 5 is shit for home team fans but suits the viewing habits of a lot of neutrals.

Dropped off fairly heavily this week, weren't in the top 20 so we don't know the numbers but somewhere below the Masters which got 58,000

Nup. Carry on

Technically yes but who cares, as long as you can wear the egg if all hell breaks loose next weekend.

Draws by AU and Jets and a heavy loss (we've lost 3-0 both times to MV) are not impossible

But really it's all about the fun of the night, will either set of fans care next week? It was all about humiliating them on Sunday

I hate premature ejaculations. Last time I had one was at Suncorp during the Grand Final, and look what happened. I'll save my bragging until we've actually dodged the spoon.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Suncorp ? Grand Final?

You've gone mad

He must be talking about the NRL

Well...Eggy and Prior were both celebrating with 15 minutes to go on Sunday evening and I told Eggy not to get too excited like he did at the GF...but this Jest squad is the polar opposite of the spectrum to that Roar side.

Adelaide MAY get a result against WSW this weekend, but as far as I can see, the only way the Jest are getting a result against an SFC team at home (and keen to usurp that same Roar side as the highest point scorers in League history) is through match-fixing.

I'm sure I was not the only one who prematurely was celebrating a Grand Final win in Brisbane, 2-0 up with minutes to go, only to see us lose. Worst experience ever, after our other Grand Final loss to the Scum.

I'll never forget the sound of that crowd when the second goal went in.

The crowd that hadn't already left by then...

"2-0 and you caught the bus"...

. i have faith that there is enough Central Coast in that Southern Mariners side to ensure that they don't effect our position on the table

 

[VicMariner]

Its not inevitable.

Exactly. At this level results are mostly mental strength. You can't tell me Roarcelona were x amount better than everyone else. As soon as they broke the record they lost to Sydney iirc.

At any rate, we can hold our own against anyone in the league. Its the size of the fight in the dog that counts.
We need a coach to bring that out.

. interesting thought considering the thread this was posted in and the posts being made elsewhere on the forum

. on the weekend it was the captain that brought it out ... especially considering the result of the week before when he was absent

Could also put it that the coach got it out of the players, by putting Monty straight back in the team
