  1. Recorded from tonight's 7 news in Perth Hoges_Medium.mp4
  2. Agree catering set up is not yet up to par. Didn't like the look of the hot dogs, thought "Ah ha premium German hot dog - must be a bratwurst with sauerkraut and mustard". Sucked in, same hot dog just with mustard and I think it was about $4 more Plenty of beer though, place is a booze barn.
  3. Welcome to the Western Australian way of doing things. Seat locations Our tickets, were for seats on Level 3, Section 353, which was really Level 2, Section 354. Attendant looked askance at us when we mentioned this made no sense, surprised they didn't go with the old "From Victoria are you" chestnut, truly bizarre. Restricted viewing We got talking to some Eagles supporters pre-match. The front row, Level 3 seats sold as "MFC Premium" are actually cut price Eagles members seats in the regular season as they have the view restricted by glass panels. As you state, billions spent on design and construction of a stadium where front row seats have restricted views, and your seat number doesn't actually match where your seat is!! Seems they ticketing team "saw us coming" and gypped MFC with the dud seats in the sun with restricted viewing
  4. Fantastic. But we would be close to the bottom of the well now. Where is the next $2.4M going to come from?
  5. I have one as a MIDI file (*.mid), if your phone can load midis as a ring tone I think it could be sent it to you as an MMS mesage.
  6. Brad Miller. At an after match function at Subiaco, Perth about three years ago. Just about everything was over and we were just hanging around having a few drinks. My 5 year old son was running around the social club and went "awol", found him sitting over against a wall with Brad Miller chatting away like they'd known each other all their lives. I think Brad said he has younger brothers and sisters (Brad is one of six??) and spent quite a bit of playing with him. Also took time to talk about holidays and other non football related stuff. Left very impressed that a 20 year old had his head so firmly screwed on and was so down to earth. The same night I also got to talk and have a few beers with Andrew Leoncelli and Stephen Tingay after the players had left. That was pretty cool. Best of all was talking to Brett Ratten (then mid field coach) and asking him if he was telling people he was a better player after he had retired, Ratten didnt get it and a couple of other people around us cracked up. He left us at the end of the season, was it something I said?
  7. Sean Charles was awsome when up and going. Physically strong and fast. Not afraid of anybody. Think he suffered from osteoporosis, which resulted in multiple breakages of the wrist. Nasty. Bloody brave to play on with that arm guard with us then Carlton a year later. Sean and Jeff Farmer were tandem teamed at full forward by Balme for some time, working from the square. A dismal failure. I think I recall a final against Carlton where Sean Charles destroyed them almost single handed, he then repeated the dose a year later. Reckon that Sean Charles also kicked 18 goals for a Sunraysia representative team a few years back. Not bad for an old man.
