[SurreySeagulls]

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

Not happy swans fan let's hope tonight is better.

 

[BadFish]

Need Sydney to step up to make it intresting.

 

[LU7 RED]

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

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Bit of a battering for Sydney there

Sydney choking in the GF once again. It makes our loss to Brisbane last week even more upsetting.

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

Similar to me, I used to watch last quarter at Carlton, Princes Park being just a few minutes walk from home. Never paid to watch.
