outmarked 4 times straight.... grrrrr

how are we so close

not sure we are winning anywhere entry to the forward line is atrocious

midfield needs to dominate... this is looking like a shootout

well done ANB

was always likely in place of the named BBB...Laurie as sub Could be the other way round but that would surprise me

they couldn't..... could they

aaah I have missed the more cerebral aspects of demonland Pluvius Omnia

hypothetical which Sun's player do you take with your Freo draft pick

not good

But think of the 1.4 billion market in China that Port's games in Shanghai made available to us

Craddle Crash Repairs would be happy with their signage purchase

Bring it home Dan !!!!

he's talking up the product....not the venue

Any State can have it if you put up the most money... If they want they can buy it for two years or more..it's money Qld and NSW have good tourism bases compared to SA who is desperate to buy an event Hell even Dan can buy it for Melbourne if he wants

when we were so poor I enjoyed following Hafey's magpies. They were an exciting team. Have always had a second team when we're travelling badly. Liked West Coast in their "Cousin's prime" and GWS were always good to follow until Jeremy Cameron left. And of course North back in the days of Blight and the Krakouer brothers Hate is such an emotional word It's just a game.... Ted Lasso anyone?

It's changed... no ticket required..just walk in. They don't have a scoreboard so they wheel in an old fashioned yellow light board.. so small that as a visitor you have to ask where it is. Have seen some videos of the outdoor oval at the Hangar. Looks fine but nowhere near the memories of Windy Hill

the find of the season... he provides Salemesque drive from half back

with another hour between games it's done easily The other way is that you only use a section of the ground for game 1.. clear it and allow game 2 patrons in. Other sections pay a slight premium for the two games So many ways... the reality is that only the local teams are drawing and they knew it. Olympic athletics have day and night sessions in bigger stadiums with relatively short breaks for example

very tall team for a potentially wet windy afternoon

Given that it's no teams home game I assume Port and Crows members need to buy a ticket plus a reserved seat. A nice little earner that I had forgotten...70,000 fans at an average of $25 = $2M

50,000 visitors is not that great . Given a State govt buy of say $20M it works out at $400 per visitor. Concept is good but the execution could be better

excellent news...

Here's a good article on the financial impact of this weekend https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-clubs-set-for-bumper-salary-cap-boost-from-gather-round-20230412-p5czzz.html All 18 AFL clubs have been given an extra half-million dollars in their salary caps as a result of the huge influx of money stemming from the extra game in Gather Round. Senior AFL sources confirmed that the 18 clubs would receive $750,000 each for Gather Round in South Australia and that, of that amount, $500,000 would go to the players at every club - potentially easing some of the fiscal and salary-cap pressure on players and clubs.

yes... it matters big time as this is what the SA Govt has spent millions to achieve... tourists aka supporters of non Adelaide clubs
