My reading suggests yes, if not located in greater Brisbane area. Unfortunately no if in greater Brisbane area, as not allowed to attend any event with more than 1000 people.

Really looking forward to this. So dissapointed for our Victorian supporters. My heart goes out to you all. Rest assured, those of us who can go, we will give it a 4 quarter effort!

Ditto

As an Adelaide based supporter, can someone tell me where this speculation that we might play our home final in Adelaide if we win comes from? It’s sounds promising…..

I remember working in Taiwan on a mobile phone network, and a software error caused a database reload on the switch I was working on, taking out one million of their customers services. I didn’t really understand what was being said (in Chinese) but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t nice! Thanks for all the hard work guys!

Is our game plan a problem in the wet? Paraphrasing @binman, we look to pressure the ball out of the centre and hope to use our defensive setup and intercept marking to propel ourselves forward, rather than winning centre clearance (unless we can do so cleanly). If it’s wet, it appears that the ball is less likely to be cleanly intercepted and control gained, and then we struggle with the lost territory?

Can I ask why? Gawn and or Jackson forward isn’t adding anything to the forward line. I think we were better earlier in the season with an extra medium sized forward. Melksham or M Brown or Jones can fight it out for that role. I actually feel like Max could run out a few games on his own, he has in the past. Leave BBB or TMac to ruck forward and Max play one kick behind the play as intercepter, he is better suited to that role. I’m not saying for a whole season, but it couldn’t hurt to try it for a game or two. For mine the Weid experiment is done for this year, and Daw no thanks.

Out: Jackson In: Melksham Petracca to play more forward. I think we are too tall up forward, especially in the wet. The ball is rebounding out of the forward line too easily. As much as I hate to include Melksham we need more class in the forward half. Must get Petracca forward, he’s the one who knows where the goals are. He keeps wanting to break tackles and this hurts us less in the forward 50 where the risk is worth it. Need Jordan back in the guts more where he takes the first simple options, rather than trying to be too clever.

The cream rises in the wet, gee Oliver and Lever are playing well! The umps will even the free kicks up this half, hopefully in the right parts of the ground.

I was sitting right behind this one. I am telling you 100%, Brown had 3 players drawn to him, they were all looking at him. This allowed Jackson to float across the front of the pack unchecked to take the mark. first you say brown was in the pack, then you say your not sure he was even on the ground? There are very subtle things that are hard to measure. How do you measure the fact that Tom McDonald roamed around with the second best defender for much of the night?

You talk about diving, and then want to support a team who stole our 2006 World Cup dream :.)

Looks like 100%

My wife tells me the advertiser is reporting 100% capacity

Umpires should be like jurors, each team should be able to have a challenge to strike ones they don’t like from the final jury :.)

+1 - can’t find any info on ticketing

Let’s hope those of us in Adelaide can get a ticket, my #positivelingers shirt is primed and ready to go for it’s first live outing.

Given England have progressed at the Euro’s, I was googling the origins of the chant/song “It’s coming home”. I couldn’t help but draw a parallel….. Both teams haven’t had a major trophy since the 1960’s Both teams invented the modern version of the game. Both teams are playing games at the home of football Both teams have had long suffering supporters. Im turning this into my new theme. Come on dees bring football home…..

Having previously been a soccer referee (at a much lower level), I have on occasions, paid 50/50 decisions against someone who has abused me. Also from a psychological point of view, to show that their behaviour will not Alter my decisions I felt obliged to continue to pay frees. Umpires are human, and no one likes being abused or disrespected. It’s not in anyone’s interest to challenge decisions in anything but a respectful way. Having said this, it’s a professional environment, I’ll back Max in to determine what’s acceptable in that environment. I’m sure if he thought he was making the situation worse he or goody would reign it back in.

If it makes you feel any better I had to roam around a large public event in Adelaide (pedal Prix) on Sunday, and I wore my normal attire ( demons hat, tshirt and jumper). I copped it all day!

Except if just like the lions in Rd 3 we win with a kick after the siren this week and footy Karma prevails!

I just need to know if Andy got out alive so we can have a podcast this week

Unless you live here… then you loath them :.) sounds like a big night, hope you weren’t drinking and scooting :.)

Also if you just want a great Indian takeaway curry, North Indian cuisine on Hindley st is not far from Adelaide oval and is pretty good and cheap, it’s the polar opposite of fine dining.

Jasmins if you like Indian. Gauchos Argentinian if you like meat (I personally find it a bit expensive.) CM2 Cafe Michael on Rundle st for Asian ( or just walk along Rundle st for lots of options ) Amalfi for Italian I personally like the pub across the road, from Adelaide oval, possibly called the cricketers arms or something like that, but I’m not really into fine dining. It’s also packed on game days.
