Huge game this weekend.
2 undefeated teams.
1 undefeated for 2.5 years now!

Unfortunately we won't be getting back either our x-factor players in Sophie and Darcy, both out with calf/ankle respectively for another 1-2 weeks.

Will be a good test for us.

My mates got tickets.  They are there for less than face value which is interesting.  Bought over the web from Switzerland, and not a scam.

Interested on what was 'face value' of those tickets.

Originally they advertised tickets of $89 and $135 IIRC. The day they were on sale the 'cheap' tickets were $400 and the expensive ones were $600 or so.

They do dynamic ticketting i think, so the more in demand they are, the more expensive they get.
270 dollars for 2 tickets, punt road end looks like olympic stand but could be on the southern stand side.  Behind the goals, they would be the "cheapest" tickets, but considering you couldn't get one...

I would've loved to have gone, but baulked at the ticket prices.
I saw 2 games, bought food, drinks and probably the nights accomodation (x2) for those 2 games for less than a ticket to this game would cost. Ridiculously overpriced. Especially when you see what some of the ground level seats can 'see'.

Don't like it. Don't watch it. Simples.

Clearly, i love my AFL.....and the NFL.
Worldwide there is 100x more NFL supporters than AFL supporters.

I've seen 2 games live, in the US.

For reference, a regular season game between 2 teams with basically no rivalry (Vikings vs Seahawks) was louder than the Blues vs Cats 96k final we just had.....in a maxed out 60k odd open stadium

People who don't like it generally don't understand it.....and don't take the time to understand it.
Easier to throw stones, rather than show interest.

Not there but watching it. Cracking day to be there. I don't know why I enjoy it,  but I do. Biggest knock is that 60mins of playing time takes 3 hours

Anyone bothering with that pile of junk at the mighty MCG today? Cant believe the coverage overload of it.

How come when it comes to overseas politics, we are happy to discuss back and forth information/quotes from everywhere and anywhere from the other side of the world all without distinction yet in our own backyard and under our own noses unless it ticks all the boxes its dismissed.

And when it does tick all the boxes there is crickets....... :-X

Whys that i wonder.

There's a couple of rather obvious reasons; our bozoes aren't starting wars, disrupting world trade, sending the price of fuel (and everything else) skyrocketing, or threatening to invade former allies, and, most importantly, they don't control a nuclear arsenal.

And we get to vote our bozoes in or out every three or four years.

And they don't lie about being carried away from Ground Zero by two big firemen  ::)

Then there's the fact that this thread is specifically about the senile malignant narcissist in the White House and there are other threads about local politics.
