In a sudden turnaround, I picked up 2 tickets from Ticketek this morning Level 1, M31, row H,  not too shabby!

Ok, this is weird. Should I wait until 4 December when I'll get backstage passes?

Got our tickets yesterday. I’m guessing it will be a full house if the dogs celebration was anything to go by.

It seems based on the Ticketek map the entire northern and western stands. 50 K capacity. It will have a home game atmosphere I'm tipping. With the outcome already known.  And everyone will be in their seats to watch the magical 17 minutes (to quote BT)

Do we have to simulate being nervous when Bont kicks a "more [censored] than class" to put them 19 points up? I expect to see lots of people getting a pass out to have a gasper on the concourse outside.

I'm looking forward to the bit where everyone shouts out "bang bang bang" in unison. BANG BANG BANG! (I'm just practising.)

This is going to be good.

What does that fool know? It's already in AFL folklore as "that 10 minutes".

Spoke to a Hawks fan yesterday. He was saying that was the most amazing few minutes of football he can remember seeing. God it feels good, not just winning the flag, but doing it in a fashion that will never be forgotten. And respected.

I’m gonna be cheering on every goal like it’s live. 

cant wait to hear the crowd comments when Daniel dumps Gawn and when Bont celebrates his 3rd goal. Should be hilarious.

I'm not sure you get MR. He has an unusual, quirky way of posting often with tongue in cheek. It's often difficult to decipher what his resting face is and to figure out if he is being serious. I'm pretty sure that in this case he isn't serious and may be going for irony?

Am I correct in assuming Luke Jackson won’t be in attendance.

The players return to training the next day so I reckon Dogga will be back from Perth.

Van Rooyen suggested he’ll be training with Jackson through to Xmas in Perth.

At least that’s what I thought I heard??

Given the stupidity of WA and their insane border restrictions I wouldn’t be shocked if the WA boys have been told they can stay home to spend Xmas with their families before returning to pre season. 
If they come back now they won’t be able to see their parents for Christmas.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
