On the question of the crowd influencing a game, yet another player said the other week that while playing they really don't hear the crowd noise.

Oh, and to up the ante, I'm at 120% supporter! Do I hear 130%?

Listened to the last quarter on the radio here in the West (surprisingly - usually a blackout unless you have Fox) - was I mistaken but did I hear the "Sydney, Sydney" chant?
Been a while since that came out.

You could really feel it, even coming through the tv. First time in several years you had the crowd having a real influence on the game. Great stuff!

In the last minute or so it was noticeable that the whole outer was up standing such was their excitement at what was unfolding before them.

a win or even draw would give us the slimmest mathamatical chance

Agreed that it's been the case over a number of years, but I guess the difference here for me was that in games with more riding on them than last night over the past few years (eg Elim final v Collingwood 2007), we haven't shown the same intensity. Which says to me that it's something slightly different to being just a mindset of getting up for big games. So why could we do it last night but not in other games?

Because we lift in games we shouldn't be expected to. We did it against St Kilda in 2004. We did it against Essendon in 2001.

It is a weird mindset but it is one our club seems to revel in.


Hopefully they get confidence and can give our long suffering Melbourne-based fans their first win in over a year.
