JKH is small, that's what makes his performances even better

How about the playing surface, size wise?

I'm looking forward to the game but never has the same feel watching it on TV when the stadium is so small.

Shame Dawes isn't playing, i have to say i'd be more confident if he was.

Rock on...

Was Chippa signing anything... might have looked like a contract? haha

that's awesome! let's hope they get a win!

GO DEES

Don't tell the AFL they were flying Qantas, don't they have an agreement with Virgin?

Had a more detailed look at ground

Surface looks magnificent

They had Low key function with players and officials Jetta the pinup boy

Was great to see a number of local indigenous people in official Melbourne outfits

The facilities make the junction oval seem palatial

The stand probably holds a few hundred at most and there are a small number of temporary stands holding tens of people

Today Is hot 28 but dry heat

Tomorrow meant to be cooler say 21

Looking forward to it

The whole town is quite excited about game

Do virgin fly to Alice Springs?

I'm guessing there are extenuating circumstances...

Bingo. Even when players are going on overseas trips they are 'advised' to travel with the AFL's official sponsor.

In this case, given no flights were applicable to destination at the time convenient to the Dees I'm guessing they flew QANTAS instead.

Wish I was there instead of stuck at home looking after a grumpy husband who has the man flu. Saw the story on the news tonight and the setting looked amazing. It will be a fantastic experience for everyone there - hope we win as well. Maybe next year for me.

Enjoy and go Dees.
