  1. I had exactly the same experience after sitting in the queue on my computer. When I went back in, and put in my barcodes again, the no cost option that I'd initially selected was no longer available. That meant either that I'd been successful, or that the relatively small number of free tickets had all gone while I'd been faffing about trying to work out what had happened. Some bad words were said about Ticketek. Then I had the bright idea of checking the Ticketek app on my phone. Eureka! Tickets there! I've still got bad words about Ticketek, not for the first time, but at least this time I have the tickets.
  2. It was a new day yesterday, but it's an old day now.
  3. Sorry! They might be red and blue, but they're still Norwood, and that's where the connection ends, for me. If it ever started. It probably makes more sense if, like me, you happen to have lived in SA for a fair part of your life. (If it makes you feel better, I spent several years at Sale State. School, not prison! Back in the days when you were either RDB or Serge in the playground. ) I've been supporting the Bays (ie Glenelg) since the late 50s, and for much of that time they've been roughly equivalent to the Dees through the 70s, 80s and 90s. The win today was a fantastic come from behind win in the last quarter, and makes it back to back premierships. So I'm not feeling much for Norwood, although they put up a good fight. If you want to make the red and blue argument, I'll give you the Sturt song, which happens to be A Grand Old Flag. So should I support Sturt on that basis? I've got a big tip for you!
  4. Of course that doesn't factor in actual total shots, but you'd have to think if you're kicking with that accuracy, you're not going to have too many complete misses. I can't remember any from those two, but it's possible that there were a couple.
  5. Actually, Fritta is 16.4, (80%), and should be on top of that chart, while the Chin is 13.2 at 87%. Which one would you rather have kicking for your life? I think I'd take either.
  6. Of course, at this early stage of the season, if you've kicked, say 15.4, you'll beat all those above hands down, but not appear on the list.
  7. Maybe I didn't make it as clear as I might have. He displayed the same degree of usefulness at both clubs, ie. not much. I have no idea why we recruited him in the first place. Maybe it was because of what he might have become, because it certainly wasn't on the basis of what he'd already done, and I say that as a Glenelg supporter. He was certainly a fairly big boy, but size isn't an important factor unless you can use it.
  8. I was there, unfortunately. I think it was the first GF at Football Park. Back in those days, for reasons that escape me, the wind often used to howl down the ground. I can't bring myself to watch it all again, it was bad enough at the time, but as I recall, Fred Phillis, who was the best full forward of that era, couldn't buy a goal. Although he regularly kicked 100 or more over multiple seasons.
  9. The Anti-Coleman?
  10. No, Sellar was from Glenelg. He was as useful there as he was for us
  11. I eventually figured it out, also after a few goes, and now have two member tickets. But I agree that it's not very user friendly, and when you're trying to figure it out with a timer counting down, it can become a little challenging. If we don't win, it's going to be an expensive disappointment. But of course we will win, and should! If for no other reason so that I can politely shove it up my Qld-based Lions-supporting rellies. I've only ever, after 60-odd (mostly just odd) years of supporting Dees, seen two live Dees finals - one against the Roos in 2002, and Geelong 2018. Both times we were winners, so hopefully the spaced-out trend continues.
  12. How did you do it? I'm currently battling Ticketek, but without much success. (I live in Adelaide, lucky me!) It doesn't seem to want to let me book tickets, even though I'm putting in the right barcode numbers. Are we supposed to select General Admission, which seems to be restricted to just a couple of small bays? Or do we select the other option, Home/Club 1 members? I would have thought that since this is not a Crows/Port match, the usual "keep the other bastards out" rules wouldn't apply. Anyone been through the exercise successfully?
  13. Smith - the forgotten man
  14. Make mine" Lazy" as well. Has to be played at 11, though. Even has a bit of harp, if I recall correctly. Might have to go and play it to make sure that's correct. Sorry, neighbours!
  15. Melanie Jane Makeup Artist??
