Think of would've, should've, could've. The ...'ve is an abbreviation of have. 

You may well be trying to wind up SWYL and I'm missing the point.

Haha ? I have no idea what those replies were all about

i found the NRL Game last night at Lang Park quite Fascinating 

Without a Crowd the Broncos gave nothing

Ok, I was throwing some bait around, maybe to obtuse.

What I was trying to get at is; I can tell you worked in the media you have 37918 posts but no substance.

Breaking news.....NSW Govt gives NRL permission for fans to attend games from next week.

Details to follow

Absolute non news story.

A few hundred corporates, sponsors and fat cats allowed to watch a game with a glass of red behind a glass window from next weekend.

I guess we'll all be able to go to the Geelong game at $1,000 a head.

Broncos did have a large number of outs but it was an amazing outcome. Given the first and second try were in the first ten minutes I doubt that even the Broncos manic supporters would have made a difference.

The broadcasters will be very upset as the Broncos are the Collingwood of the NRL

I think the Bronco's were poor last week, as well,  iirc.?    almost a trend-line happening,  but too soon to tell,  just yet.

 

I am hoping the  'Stormers'  will bounce back this week,  after a really undisciplined showing last week.

Not a bad idea to sell a select number of tickets at a premium for those willing to pay.

Then in the next tier, have a select number of tickets available for a normal price. Tickets are issued based on a lottery to members of AFL clubs only.

Then a third tier with a select number of tickets given away for charity for those that cannot afford.

Surely with a ground as huge as the MCG it would be possible to get a tiny crowd in and have pre-allocated seating with distancing measures and proper practices in place for entry, visiting toilets, food and drink bars.

Would give some atmosphere and help support with a little extra $$

The exemption in NSW is justified on the "pub rule" namely the boxes are no different to a pub where you can have up to fifty people in one room provided there is 4 sq metre per person etc.

The MCG probably has at least one hundred odd "rooms and boxes"of varying sizes.

The problem is that it would not be a good look if the corporates got in but the fans did not. Then again..what's new.

That's why I suggested the three tier system with select number of tickets in each.

Speaking of tiers, would be interesting if the AFL can convinve the Vic govt. to also allow the outside seating areas to be 'roped off' so to speak into designated areas for up to 50 persons. Certainly more space than a corporate box inside...

Maybe the logistics is too difficult for controlling people moving around the stadium etc.

could you imagine the unsupervised riff raff being allowed unsupervised into a super box. We are of course.. Melbourne ... but we do have supporters who cannot ski let alone know their pinot from a cabernet !!

Your provide some good ideas except I’d change one thing:

Tier 2 is for members - first in best dressed rather than a lottery which you suggested.. Tickets go on sale on the Monday morning for members only and first in first served rather than a lottery.

This would also apply for AFL and MCC members, given how large the MCG is.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
