General Football Discussion

[moa999]

Great atmosphere at Spotless.

Crowd was probably 60/40 but the Dogs fans more vocal. Well done on the Dogs players to dig in the last Qtr, particularly given how the Giants have finished games all yr.

Qantas and Virgin fares were all $600+ for Sat morning after the Swans win, I expect Sat night and Sun morn coming back just jumped as well

 

[cove]

Yes we looked at air fares from Sydney to Melbourne and the price/demand has jumped.

South Melbourne V Footscray Grand Final - oh the football purists are in heaven right now!

Any chance of tickets going on sale to the public or do I need to "borrow" a friends membership barcode?

No chance of stealing a Doggies' member's barcode!

Competing Full members can buy tickets this morning, Non-Competing Full members this afternoon. Silver members tomorrow.

Just have to find a friend who can sell me a ticket...

 

[moa999]

I thought potential competing members had to have already registered. Eg. GWS registration was on 13-Sep. Swans on 20-Sep.

Yes, my understanding, too. Ballots for WB last week.

 

[whatmeworry]

Bit outrageous they are charging people 5 dollars to participate in the ballot with no guarantee of a ticket.

I think you are referring to AFL members.

Yes, that would be correct, Serfty.

 

[serfty]

Yep - and 25 minutes ago secured four reserved seats, level P.

Well done!
You know where to advertise if it turns out that you can't use them all!

Bugga all I would imagine. with the Doggies having not having been in it for so long even standing room should all go to members.

Probably the only ones that you can buy now are the various Packages that come with lunch, entertainment etc and will be north of $1000 each.

Is the traditional Grand Final Dinner taking a break this year?

Usual offenders CE and cove are overseas and interstate

serfty - are you keen?

...
I am interested ... maybe discuss more in a few days .

...
The Royce / Olive Tree combo has been great in the past, so I am "interested" if we can get numbers.

I'm a definite possible. Don't forget to allow for a certain last-minute attendee. I'm sure he'll say "Good on ya".

I'll talk to ​blackcat20

Until earlier this week I was interested but this year I am attending with family and they have made post GF arrangements on my behalf that I cannot escape.

So maybe next year ...
