I wouldn't pay to see him either. He didn't even do a good job of acting when Will Smith slapped him at the Oscars! I had never heard of him until, some nobody, slapped him.😇 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a soft spot for the Lions because of their past life as Fitzroy and when growing up in sout west Vic, it was Fitzroy's recruiting area. So I knew quite a few Fitzroy players and of course Jonathan Brown was a local and came from the club where my parents are life members. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docker123 Posted August 21, 2022 #358 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) I was going to dinner with my son and just about 6 there was this amazing sound from the Railway Hotel in Yarraville. It took me a little to think of looking at the footy score. Anyway, next line up: Geelong vs Collingwood. Possibly at Geelong Melbourne vs Sydney. MCG Fremantle vs Western Bulldogs. Optus Oval, Perth Brisbane vs Richmond, Gabba, Brisbane. Locations subject to the whims of the Victorian overlords.

Part of it is a construction site at the moment and the capacity is much lower. The AFL will want a capacity crowd for a qualifying final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoWhiners Posted August 21, 2022 Author #364 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Wow, all this activity and all I did was sleep. I feel so inadequate 😄 Thanks for posting the scores. Glad the Swans won; I was really hoping they got 2nd but maybe this will keep them in shape in the ramp up to the finals. A week off now. Is it usually quiet this week or is there a lot of intrigue as we start the playoffs? Go Swans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that. Geelong has many Melbourne based members and supporters who love it when Geelong play at the G. As an Essendon and MCC member, I much prefer to go to the MCG than Marvel Stadium, so am pleased that they play four home games there. Carlton also play home games at the MCG and Marvel. All clubs gain by having bigger crowds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docker123 Posted August 22, 2022 #369 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) This is the MCG Rle in action (actually a contract between the Victorian dominated league and the MCG😞 With the competition having rebranded itself as the Australian Football League (AFL) at the start of the 1990 season, West Coast finished third on the ladder at the conclusion of the home-and-away season, and progressed to the preliminary final before losing to Essendon, having been forced to play four consecutive finals in Melbourne.With the competition having rebranded itself as the Australian Football League (AFL) at the start of the 1990 season, West Coast finished third on the ladder at the conclusion of the home-and-away season, and progressed to the preliminary final before losing to Essendon, having been forced to play four consecutive finals in Melbourne. (Wikipedia) By rights, all those games should have been held in Perth. Brisbane, and I think Adelaide, also suffered from this.
