old dee

High praise pf!

My old stomping ground. I was up there for a basketball tournament over the long weekend. It sure has changed a lot.

Will locals go to a practise match when they have to book via Ticketmaster?

It's the AFL what other organisation has a round before the first round! Isn't the first round the first round and the round after the first round the second round. And these people are paid hundreds of thousands. I think the joke is on us.

It's Ticketmaster why are we surprised. Do you live in Ballarat? I would not have thought too many tigers or demon supporters would be lining up for tickets.

Hmm thanks Kev. I don't think he will make it. I hope I am wrong.

Surely we get to replace him he has been a long term injured player. Like for 2 years.

I think you know GS

I am also confused yes I know it doesn't take much. Why in a competition with an even number is teams do we have a bye in the, I was going to say first round but according the AFL it is the round before the first round. Are you confused? I am.

Well I will be buttered on both sides. I guess they won't be deluged with tigers/demons supporters.

Today I received an email from the MFC about the practice match against Richmond. It seems the match is to be played at the Mars ground. I assume that is Richmond’s Punt road ground. It seems there are works at the ground which will restrict the number of people who can attend the game. The way I read it you have to apply for entry via Ticketmaster. Is it just me or has the AFL again lost the plot? Why is the game being played at a ground with very limited access?

It's a couple of weeks to go and I have been drowning in the AFL promotion of the game. Hmm can you drown in one item?

In about 10 days is when they usually drop like flys.

Macca is possible to have less than zero interest?

It's firmly shut till a state government either approves or not IMO it won't be any time before the next election in November.

Ok but you may not hear from us for 2-3 years. Is that ok?

I just went to the mfc site. No mention of anything about the reserves/ Casey side. Zero, no draw, nothing about players. Speaks volumes!

The whole comp doesn't start till the third game of the seniors.

The result of when you don't care and put donkeys in charge. Hmm that's probably an insult to Donkeys.

It has improved Dr. But last season it was still behind the picture quality of channel 7. When a match was on both 7 and Kayo we flicked between both and 7 was better. Over the summer I have replaced my tv set, it will be interesting to see if it improves this season. We only buy digital not 4K. The funny think if you watch a replay it was better than the live telecast. Better electronic brains than mine may be able to tell us why is it so. I have watched NBL games live over summer and the picture seems to be of good quality. I am looking forward to seeing the quality of the state of origin game later this month. If not for that test I would not bother. It's just a fob to the group who want state of origin returned.

That's it.

It's quite funny Macca I laugh every time I see the second round referred to as round 1 it is a classic case of the Emperor has no clothes. On a number of cases every year they treat there audience with contempt, I actually think they believe that their decisions are beyond reproach.

Spot on DJ we simply have too small of a population. Enjoy for the next couple of years. After that I may not care the body is fading fast. This may be the last season I attend games. I no longer go to mid winter night games or the way the Pies/Tigers games. Way to many people and I am not sitting in the oxygen deprived 3rd tier. As someone famous once said " you have to know your abilities".

I am surprised she still gets away with it DJ. We will continue till they catch up with us. Leaving aside “ news” I seldom watch FTA programs I find a lot of the programs low grade. The multitude of so called reality shows appeal to the lowest level of humanity. I don’t think I am alone as overall FTA viewers seems to shrink every year. They seem to live off News, Sport and “Reality” [censored]. Most nights that I watch TV I go straight to the streaming Chanel’s. We pay for Netflix, Prime ( It’s a good offer as it gets you prime membership with advatanges on Amazon like free delivery) and Kayo. I actually watch quite a bit on SBS On Demand.
