Yep - Q39. Damn. Will it be like watching little fleas on the grass?

No, it won’t, it’s a big screen. 👍🏽

Lots of level 1 seats available now

booked for myself an hour ago and for my parents just now

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)

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,675]

I'm tipping 28.5K for the game.

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.

Nothing to do with AFL

MFC MCC and Covid and Govt. the dates been known for about 6 weeks 

Surely people can get off work or some thing else to come. Or do you just not like Sundays for sport.?

Take a  days Annual leave 

This is a ONCE in 57 YEARS event!! 

What  other time would you like the event ? BTW 

[DubDee 25,433]

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?

Maybe on my birthday? But no, the AFL didn't even consider that, did they! Bloody Demetriou.

[DubDee 25,433]

They’ve open up more level 1 if anyone interested. 

M56-57 and M28

should be good crowd!

Give me some credit, @Demonstone

I mentioned the wrong McLaughlin too…

Mum says I am funny, it is all of you that are wrong

[Demonstone 22,182]

Facepalm duly removed!   I should have realised you weren't that thick, rpfc.

Please, please, please tell me this was satire.

If so, kudos. Gold standard satire.

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

He should be there. I thought all players would 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.
