A few observations:
- We were sitting L3, Lockett end - no dramas with the crowd
- Not sure if Levi's eyes are right - he is running under the ball a bit
- When we slipped over, it generally cost us more than the Lions.  Can only remember one time Lions slipping over to their detriment
- There were a few times when our efforts up the ground converted to easy goals/attempts for Brisbane (eg a pack marking attempt - we would all go up, miss it and the ball went out the back, giving defence no hope).  Need to get those OOB
- We handball/kick to our teammate where they have been, not where they are going, which really stops momentum
- A couple of times while Harry was lining up, I covered my 5yos ears because the roar would be too loud when he kicked the goal.  Not much noise a couple of times.  The Brisbane supporters seemed louder
- this did change when we got to 7 pts in the third.  Then we stuffed something up and it again stopped momentum as Lions kicked the next few.
- set shots still haunt us.

From the AFL website :

Levi Casboult, Carlton, has been charged with Kneeing Ryan Lester, Brisbane Lions, during the second quarter of the Round Six match between Carlton and the Brisbane Lions, played at Marvel Stadium on Saturday April 24.

In summary, he can accept a $2000 sanction with an early plea.

Based on the available evidence, the incident was assessed as Careless Conduct, Low Impact, Body Contact. The incident was classified as a $3000 sanction as a first offence. The player can accept a $2000 sanction with an early plea.

 Go back a week and watch Dixon, then try to makes sense of this?

Sorry, you miss-spelled “8 weeks”.    Isn’t that the standard penalty for grabbing an umpire?  See Williams, Greg

Funny reply that, well played. They were talking how since the Diesel incident, they have reworded the rule a couple of times. Its alot less black and white (as usual with AFL rules). It went from "lay a finger on an ump = gone" to "well sorta kinda if you brush passed or fart loudly near the ump thats ok..."

Our fans need to do their bit too.  Last two home matches attended and you would struggle to see a decent crowd.

I think attendances are all over the place this year. Consider Saturday night, a feature match over the weekend,  Richmond 100,000+ members, Melbourne on a roll.  56,000 turn up. That seems unders for a game that had an 85,000 capacity.

Id agree except we've been like this for a while.

The ticketing isn't making life easy either.  Most people aren't organised enough to book in advance and you can't choose where you sit.  Two massive limitations when you can watch on TV.

I still think it's spread over too many days now, it's leaving people with AFL overload and eventually it affects all games.

It's too hard to get tickets. I'm an AFL member but couldn't get level 1 seats which are for free so I had to either sit on level 3 or pay over $100 for my family to go on the weekend.

I couldn't get level 1 seats for the Collingwood game so in the end I chose not to go.
