Lions running away with it. Swans no shape and can't get a hold of the ball

Typical. Set alarm for 7 but was virtually all over by HT. Nice symmetrical score tho, 120-60.

Sydney choking in the GF once again. It makes our loss to Brisbane last week even more upsetting.
Now that the AFL fixtures are out, I was working out which of these to go to that are on while I’m there in July and August - any recommendations? Hawthorn v Carlton looked a good one.
Round 20 (Thursday July 24 to Sunday July 27)
Round 21 (Thursday July 31 to Sunday August 3)
Round 20 (Thursday July 24 to Sunday July 27)

| North Melbourne vs. Geelong | Marvel Stadium |
| Richmond vs. Collingwood | MCG |
| St Kilda vs. Melbourne | Marvel Stadium |
Round 21 (Thursday July 31 to Sunday August 3)

The Suns have absolutely nailed their new logo btw. Really, really, clever from a design point of view....but they've mucked it up on the actual guernsey - whys it not gold like it is on the shorts, to give it some contrast!? Big fail.

ooh- you should defo try and get to Marvel and the MCG, to compare the two stadiums - the Essendon v Dogs game should be good if its under the lights, and then id say both the MCG games would be belters - Hawthorn v Carlton will be two fairly decent sides, and while Richmond v Collingwood wont be particulalry competitive (Richmond are going to be hilariously dreadful for the next couple of years) its a clash between two massive fanbases. Tickets are really cheap, going to three games over a weekend is perfectly alright! (They'll firm up the specific dates and times nearer the time, they arent set in stone yet from round 15 onwards i believe)
Great - thanks for the tips and yes, I’ll try and get to a few. Been to both for the cricket but the Marvel was always 3 parts empty then so would be good to see it full. Really looking forward to it!

I lived in melbourne a few years ago and used to work just outside the city, when i finished my saturday shifts i'd go and watch the last quarter of whatever was the daytime MCG game - they opened up the gates, it was free!
but its still only about $35aud for a general admission ticket, so you really can mosy along if you fancy a game on the day, for the vast majority of fixtures. Hawthorn v Carlton will probs have about 60-70k there, and richmond-collingwood could be a 98k sellout, but as one or both of them will be fairly crap, it might only be about 50 or 60k. Still excellent experiences though! Get a Carlton midstrength beer and a four n twenty pie, and shout 'BAAAAAAALLLLL!' with every ounce of strength in your lungs
