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!

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.

Yeah i have heard he is great with kids.

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

It really really is

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.... ?

Do u mean the white area??

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!

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

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! <_<

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!

Starts - 7:10 pm

Game over - 7:45 pm

Pub - 10:00 pm

Forget which club I barrack for - 10:30 pm

miss the game altogether -priceless lol

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!

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

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

thanx

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)!!!

its on 7 30 in brisvegas:)

Wow 2 pages of stuff, when all i wanted to know was what time the game started.

And i thought it would only get 1 post!

As Deesrock said- the best solution to go to any event is there to be early
