Even better, there were very few dragon supporters in the crowd. Therefore, most must be melbourne-ites that follow the game. Funny we keep hearing there is no interest in RL, and the crowds are a joke, yet they are on the rise and in Brisbane and Sydney Aerial Ballet crowd numbers a reducing.

Yep watched this game. Didnt think much of the match although i only saw it in parts. That crowd certainly was buzzing though.

Yeah
the Dragons only winning 2 of their last 10 took a heck of a lot of lustre from this match , if the Dragons had been firing there'd of been a lot more Dragons fans there & .. a lot more Melbournains too selling the joint out for sure

good stuff , good stuff

lots of line Breaks by the Storm E had the crowd on their feet plenty of times .. but great scramble by the Dragons too

I thought Sowards kicking game was woeful ... horrid & this may have been the difference in the end .... he has gone right off the ball & needs to find his mojo again & quickly , otherwise the Dragons season is all but over

24k for top of the table Storm agains last year's premiers. Couldn't even sellout AAMI Park. How embarrassing.

Embarrassing is not being able to sellout the tiny AAMI Park in sports mad Melbourne when you're on top of the ladder and News Ltd (owners of the NRL) buy you a premiership every season.

poof .... gooooonnnnneeeeeeeee

There still out there. Just the nature of the fickle Sydney market. At least we have a bandwagon as proven with your crowd stats in this thread. Where is the bandwagon in Melbourne??? Another $10 million loss on the cards for News Ltd/NRL Storm. Rugby League in Victoria = a financial basketcase.

no ... you have seen the last of them
a decade long infatuation is over

the Swans will be back to the bad old days of the mid 90's with support in the coming years
almost feel sorry for them.... almost

Yeah, yeah Raider. Heard it all before from you throwball fans. Delusional the lot of ya.

BTW, you still didn't explain why there is no bandwagon effect in sport mad Melbourne when it comes to the Storm. NRL = failed experiment in Victoria.
