wobbie

I got a level 1 ticket after attempting several times to buy level 2 premium, apparently too many people were buying them. If I’m seated near a Carlton fan who upped their Ritalin dose too much, I’ll abandon it and wander around

I doubt it's 50/50, from what I gather, their system will adjust access based on demand? So if 5 times the amount of Carlton members are trying to buy, it will open up more access for Carlton people. In the end there will be 65,000 Blues fans which probably reflects the level of demand from each supporter base this morning, so it's kind of fair?

The AFL don't give a flying rats about actual game attendances - only to the extent that attendance will sometimes indicate an increased TV audience (i.e. a "blockbuster" game). Would they be playing games on the Gold Coast and in Western Sydney if they did? They want us languishing and dependent, they're only "helping" us because it's in their interest. They need plenty of clubs for the back-to-back all weekend long TV extravaganza, Friday night to Sunday night, maybe even Monday night because they just can't help themselves! (It is becoming tiresome and nauseating IMO). When the time's right we'll be told we're an unsustainable liability and merged to a different geographical region, in some manner. This will maximise TV revenue and eliminate their liability. I probably won't be going to any games next year, I've had enough of the AFL. Why continue to sink your money into this dead horse? Let the AFL blow their own money on it.

I am so revolted by this woman and her campaign.

I would think that the turnout from our supporters was about the same as for the Fremantle game. So perhaps roughly 18k Melbourne, 5k Fitzroy/Brisbane? The MCC's estimate of 20,000 was just a touch conservative, but, understandably so. However, the Bulldogs pulled 39,320 vs Brisbane (Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, 14th June, 2008). Only one of ours comparable to that would be vs West Coast (35,653 at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, 18th June, 2005). Both teams flying at that stage. Or if you count the Sydney one a while back that was some sort of Tony Lockett milestone (52,614 at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday night, 24th August, 1998).

we need to break out that "please win" banner again

Do I have to attach pictures to my posts for me to monitor them in My Conrol Panel? I was thinking - Hey, I can custom make my own signature, upload it to my account and use, or 'host' it from there. But I can't seem to upload anything. The 'manage my attachments' part, in options, just seems to manage things you attach in a post and monitor how much space you have left. And it says, "You have used 0bytes of 500k." Plus: File Attachments, Global Space Left: 500k 50mb you say? Music? How would I upload music? Attaching mp3's to a post now that would be fun! :D
