DGHOB with all due respect, of course 90,000 turned up, I mean what else is there to do, I suppose you could go to the beach??? at St Kilda, or perhaps a swim at Williamtown??? perhaps a coffee at Brunswick St, If I lived there I would go to, even if it meant twiddly tw$t to me. Us mexicans (perhaps not a word I should use at the moment) have so much to do we don't NEED to follow our teams with such fanatical zealous behaviour, of course we follow them with interest but we don't normally need to have our ashes spread on the oval (bit of a worry don't you think) or go on a drinking binge when we lose (we reserve that for weddings and divorces) though in your favour we must admit your state is not going broke unlike Q and NSW, perhaps that is due to the enormous amount of money going thru the turnstyles each week, so play on, it my be your saviour, in this mad world full of greed and some sort of bullsh$t flu, perhaps you people have the answer.
