No surprise to see a bogan supporter accept numbers from an unknown source if it's means you can pump up your own tyres around attendances...what you're missing is that 95% of people at the game were WP supporters...so go figure.

Totally agree, should be Saturday.

Yep stupid fixturing, both games should of been Saturday with no AFL , Sunday is bad day generally esp with Fathers Day.

That is the only positive I see BC, I notice the SF game starts late at 2.40pm, what would of been idea I reckon is a WAFL Saturday TV double header Start one at 1 ish another at 3 ish..lead into the news.

Saturday is a vastly superior day to hold it from a club point of view, staff costs are much lower, bar turnover is ALWAYS vastly better on Saturday than Sunday and people stay back at the club much longer.

The only thing of concern is Claremont's lower Ball Disposal total. Having said that, with 9 Wins from 18 gives a qualifying round rate of 50%. They have won four of their matches with lower Ball Disposal counys.
Apparently Claremont are tipped at 58% chance of the Win.
With most of the weeks rough weather behind us, the forecast is looking much better for the weekend. Hopefully both Finals have a good spectator fleet.

Is that you, Donald?

Are you calling waflfootyfacts an unknown source?
You just worry about your own at best handful of supporters at $ubi before they drop off the perch....much like your sponsors....very soon!

Do you know where Ric gets his data from...I sure don't? Does he mark down everyone who attends games at the gates then passes that onto the WAFC like the clubs do? Until he lets us know how he gets his numbers, it's an unknown source.

In what can only be described as the ultimate irony you ask BH rather than the owner of the site.

Hands up the one person who doesn't know why BC would prefer Claremont to win.

Sean...that would be because BoofHead quoted Ric's stats as justification for his comments around attendances at last year's EF and QF rather than using the published numbers on the WAFC site. If he's going to do that then he should be able to say how those numbers were arrived at.
