Great idea - but only pre-game?? Talk about classic AFL tokenism. Imagine if you were still  in a line for your cheap pie and the opening siren sounds! 

Gil reminds me of this guy in the picture ---->    . 

Discuss....

I've been eyeing the 4 and 20 Beef Chilli pie the past 2 months but haven't dared messed with my hotdog and dim sim pre match ritual. I can't change it up this deep into the season with so much on the line.

I'm going to stop eating pies and start training for a track and field event.

Discus.

*Boom Tish* - you've been working on that for a while?

I'll throw down a few

[Demon Jack 6,909]

Does this include those sensational gourmet pies they serve at the Midfielders Bar in the MCC? 

Bloody expensive. But seriously, those things are good.

[DemonDave 1,089]

From the thread title alone, i thought it was the early betting odds for this week's game!

[Wrecker45 3,378]

Still not tempting enough to switch from my traditional 6 pot lunch

Was my first thought too

I thought we were more of a cheese platter club?

Im a beer and chips man myself.

So did I.

Apparently those are $2.40 for Pies

We were in standing in m56 Sunday and toward the end of the game one of the pie sellers was walking around handing them out for free so they didn't go to waste!

Damn right!

(Although I was in grave danger of bringing up said pie as part of the days' takings about 20 minutes into the final quarter......)

Maybe he quit and wanted to do some good for the world

$2 pots rather than Pies.

Now we're talking.

Financial encouragement could encourage me to double my pot intake. Gee it's lucky we're playing those Collingwood ferals. I still make more sense and am less obnoxious no matter how many pots I have.

This is the only way to get Lance Whitnall back to the MCG....

Bam!

Since they deregulated the pie industry, it's understandable why they sell them for $2. It used to be mass production lines had to use genuine mince. Now they can use Fat Cat's rotting corpse (with overalls and pork pie hat) if they so choose.

I heard a rather unsavoury story once from a co-worker who claimed to have worked at Four n' Twenty. I tended to go for bakery cooked pies after that.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to hear the story

I got violently ill from a Jesters pie I ate in Kalgoorlie a few months ago. It actually had a lump of bone in it the size of my thumb.

Gourmet pie they reckon. Never bought another.

It involved a hungover employee feeling the after effects of a night's revelry while near the meat vats. All foul scuttlebutt no doubt, but it left me leery of pies sold at servos.
