  1. A pity as it's probably my favourite VFA ground complete with giant dim sims and the famous Burra Burger' The sausage sizzle at Frankston was nice on my last visit
  2. Looks like you can relax BBO
  3. and here I was relegating the Saints to the 10-14 bracket
  4. This is the post
  5. The post you responded to asked why Luke Darcy was not commentating
  6. Son Pick 2 Father Son
  7. Free kicks decide the game Freo need a forward In the scheme of things a Carlton win is probably good for us
  8. Accidental forearm to the throat Medium impact
  9. Oh Harry
  10. A perfect use of clash jumpers If only
  11. Game over Was an enjoyable second quarter Hopefully the next game is a little more interesting
  12. Has Cameron had a touch 1 kick apparently
  13. Charlie Cameron injured ? Edit.. just saw him
  14. Comical dropped mark
  15. Does it generate that much? Everywhere within 60kms of Adelaide books out for the Adelaide Test Match. Average daily crowd is around 35k. Assume tourists make up 20% and you come up with 7k tourists. Judging from this forum which contains ardent supporters few made the trip. The reality is that for each club less than 1k can attend. Perhaps a game at Renmark and Port Lincoln would open things up. Renmark has the nearby towns of Mildura and Berri each off which offer additional accommodation options. There was a lot written on the benefit of event tourism around the Taylor Swift concert. The bottom line was that unless you attract international tourists there is no net national benefit. Taking that to State level you need to attract interstate visitors. The reasoning is that if the money had not been spent by locals on the event most of it would still have been spent locally on something else On the assumption you are getting 10k interstate tourists the Govt of SA is paying $2000 per visitor. Event figures have always been rubbery but politicians love them. WA will pay a fortune post 2026 is my guess
  16. Tough game given that a few players are literally walking wounded. Definitely need that bye for a few. I'd be tempted to rest BBB and play Fullarton. This would free up JVR from relief ruck and give Max a little less time in the ruck (say 60%). Win this one and we have built a great launch pad. If Kozzie is suspended I'm not sure who we bring in. AMW I assume. If Chandler doesn't come up and Kozzie is suspended we might struggle
  17. One week would be lucky I think...
  18. We could have been five goals up but we're ahead
  19. Our four key forwards are almost statless as a group
  20. Let's get that scoreboard ticking please (with goals)
  21. 4 behinds grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
  22. Oh well we are at least getting forward Let's go
  23. Completely outcoached and outplayed that quarter Lucky they didn't kick straight Adelaide play a chip game.... you win 70 metres out from their goal and rebound
