I still would have huffed. Aaron of all people should have been there on time..

We must have been drunk & didn't have enough credit on his phone to let Neale know he couldn't play..

Good post though! :lol:

It was in the days when our rooms were in the Southern Stand. We are AFL members and the players used to have a special section reserved for them and their better halves, friends, rels, etc; Aaron was obviously down in the rooms before the match and came up to sit with some mates who were sitting in the same row as us. I think it would have been his first season. I also remember him all decked out in the club suit, shirt and tie, with nice black polished shoes.........and white anklet sport socks - a great look! He was really nice to my kids and the other kids sitting around him and everytime we go to a footy clinic he is great with the kids - King of the Kids actually.

Was only joking but again, great post. It's good to have fond memories isn't it?

Considering whether to go or not. Finish work at 7pm and then dash down the Eastern? What is parking like? (I normally take the train)

Ah memories - that's all we've got at the moment. ;)

I kinda figured you were having a laugh but I thought I should explain it a bit better. My kids miss having the players sit in "our" area.

I know this it doesn't matter a great deal but this thread has got me thinking, hjow can there be different times on different sites? I know it is only 5 minutes btu surely all sites and publications would have the same time, either 7:10 or 7:15.... ?

You are right St Jon......for a professional organisation there is oh so much wrong with the AFL. Our website and the AFL website should surely have the same info.

It's definately 7:15pm. Like every other Saturday Night game in Melbourne this year.

For some reason they've changed the starting time this year (from 7:10), without communicating it in full to the public.

I heard a rumour the game is going to start at 19:12:30 just so we can all be half right! Actually I started the rumour.

Does it matter????? Just get there - we need bums on seats and if we have to wait an extra 5 minutes, well, care factor nil. JUST TURN UP!!!!

How dare you! :o

I now don't know what time to get there, my brain will explode!

Posted
Yeah - a tough decision - I mean you can do so much in 5 minutes can't you????

If you see someone outside at 7:10pm walking around in circles looking indecisive. That will be me.

Nah - i hate them - should have to sit somewhere else far far far away from us true lovers of football....even worse when they are from another team.

I hate the pissheads who decide to go get their beer as soon as the siren goes for the start of the game/quarter.

Gees, could you go get your drink any later?

Then they walk past with "excuse me sweetheart", spill their light beer on my head/jeans/bag, all while I'm trying to watch Juice and Brock and so forth! :rolleyes: <_<

P.S.- if I can make it there by 7:10 and I don't finish my work meeting till 6:30ish, you all should have no excuse!

You guys are crazy! or bored! or barrack for a team that has no footy worth talking about. One whole day later and the thread on the starting time of the game is still going!

cya at the game!!!!!! on time I hope!


Posted
Is this match on TV? If so, what channel and what time does it start?

Pretty sure it will be ch10 and delayed... so say 8:30

Posted
Network 10 at 7.30 pm.....assuming you are in Melbourne.......

Yep, because if you are anywhere else (well in Sydney anyway) you have the fantastic choice of Swans v Saints on both broadcasters <_< .......

Not to mention having the rare third option of actually being able to go to the game (which I am by the way)!!!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
