Force Tame Brumbies

[andrewM]

There were 9,500 last night (the place did look a bit empty, especially the Southern stand, and there was a lot of open space in the Northern end).

Is this the first time that the attendance at a Force home game has gone below 10,000?

(Extenuating circumstances - the threat of rain and the temporary public transport fiasco?)

And School holidays..
And I also suspect the big break between games due to the Lions tour

I wonder how other Australian teams fared with attendances after the big break?

How does it compare to last year after the break?

Streaming the match last night with the joys of the Foxsports commentary team I noticed a couple of things.

Yes the crowd looked small - but by Jeeze they got loud for that fantastic 3rd try. How good was the behind the back pass from the honey badger????

The play by play commentator (?) Maloney(?) is a bit of a closet Force fan. He gets excited when we are doing well.

RugbyWA must have had some left over dollars there seemed to be more fireworks this game.

Looking forward to next year.


I believe in the Force and I believe I will have another drink!

We were thinking that they didnt get to use their allotment during the year due to a lack of tries, so they had to get rid of the excess!

It is a real shame. I was one of "the missing". This was only the third home game in 8 seasons which my wife and I have missed. I have enjoyed reading the reports of what was obviously a fantastic win. It should give us all great heart for next season. Well done the blue boys.

Off to Lords on Thursday to witness what will hopefully be another great Aussie win.

Very envious of you! Have a fantastic time :-)))

My daughter tweeted him last night and ask if he liked commentating the Force games because he came over to the west for a lot of the Forces games.

this was his reply:-

"it's true, I love it here. Great performance tonight from your men. Nice send off for @rickobrown and Sheeno."

I didn't like him at first but he has grown on me, much better than listening to Clarkie or Kearnsie.

I was getting a little upset at the commentator who pronounced Sias' name as see-arse a couple of times. But he also was pronouncing Fardy as farty - and fart jokes are funny whatever your age.

[zimeric]

Marto had the emphaasis on the wrong silaarble. Sias is normally pronouced seayas not see-arse. Give him credit for trying though. Much better than the "sigh-arse" he pronounced previously.

Marto, generally speaking, was very Force Friendly with the commentary.

Let's face it ANYONE is better than Kearns and Clarkie and Kafe...!!! Time they hung up the mike..

you mean apart from saying both our tries were questionable ?

[Hansie]

DID YOU SEE OUR BOYS???

Oh man, what a great example of team work, team spirit, perseverance and great thinking rugby.

Even with 2 tries dis allowed, this team of Force players showed amazing spirit.

YOU ARE A CHAMPION TEAM.

[The InnFORCEr]

Marto is a disgrace, both Force tries were questionable he thought, his anti Force attitude is so blatant even deaf Freedy can pick it.

As for the TMO deciding off his own back to drag play back and check for a high tackle he "thought" he had seen, he asked the ref "are you happy with that tackle back there, Ref said yes, and TMO said I will just go back and check it??? who is running the game, the TMO or the ref?

[palitu]

I know a bloke who was sitting with the tmo. Can't wait to have a chat with him about how it all works
