Special Treatment

[alpha33 322]

After five years out of the broadcasting game, Channel Seven will use a Melbourne intra-club match at Telstra Dome next Tuesday to get re-acquainted with the specifics of AFL coverage.

The Demons have been given special treatment by being able to use the ground for a practice game even though the AFL stands strong in heavily restricting training on the ground.

Does that mean the match will be broadcast on 7 or is that me just dreaming?

Otherwise, is the TD open to the public to watch?

[Freak 100]

I doubt that it will be broadcast but you will definately be able to go and watch.

What time is it ?

Great timing for those who work 9-5 Hopefully the usual suspects around here can wag work again and give us a comprehensive report on each and every player.

If channel 7 telecast the game they'd rate about 0.00001. I think it's just a full dress rehearsal for the commentary and TV crew.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,850]

What time is it ?

10:30 according to AFL.com. They have an article there.

Fantastic.

We will register our first win at the Dome for this season.

Nice. That's 10.30am yeah? I'll be able to cross over there as I have a break from William Angliss classes. Brill

Thanks Ian Johnson, good to have a Melbourne supporter in high places. Might have to enter this into my Diary and get there.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Is it worth suggesting that having a bit of time on that ground will benefit us this season? Or will there be no difference at all. Better than nothing I 'spose.

I called the TD but they are as useless as [censored] on a bull. Had no idea it was happening.

I e-mailed the club today...the game might not be open to the public...they are trying to negotiate on our behalf to open gate 2.

The club will know for sure on monday if we can watch.

Bruce is going to absolutely wet himself once he gets Davey in his sights.

I can't wait.

Oh, for heaven's sake. It would be an absolute outrage if they don't allow a few hundred supporters of the game that the stadium was built for to watch their team involve itself in a match simulation event.

After all, they're opening it up to a foreign code on Sunday night and letting 50,000 supporters in to wreak possible havoc and destruction over there.

I mean it's not as if we're Collingwood supporters, is it?

Absolutely and firmly inside the cheek

I can understand y the dome wouldnt want us there.

a) rubbish and litter

B) Insurance and liability issue if someone got injured

Obviously we wont be paying money to enter and if someone got injured they would be liable. Hopefully they will allow us out of good will but i understand where there coming from 2
