I remember living in Evanston Gardens, getting the first train home - the walk home from the train station was absolute torture :lol:

That would've been horrible. It was horrible enough getting off at Tamblin at 8 in the morning going to school, let alone on a Sunday morning.

Sometimes we'd catch the first bus - the 228, that came earlier than the train back then.
That bus was absolute torture.

I hated the stretch between Pooraka and Hillbank, it felt like it would never end.

I'll only shower if it's a particularly long drive home or if it's an especially muddy day. Otherwise why would you want to share a cold quick shower when you could wait ten minutes and have a long, hot shower in your own space.

It's got nothing to do with people seeing my bell end which is available for viewings upon request.

The idea that having best players on sporting pulse reduces presso attendance is so stupid. If it makes any difference its absolutely nominal and conversely, it should ensure attendance from those who do get in the bests. Either way, anyone who goes to pressos just because they're in the bests is a an douchebag and you wouldnt want them there anyway.

One good point that was raised is when you have a lot of players between 18-22, a lot of weekends are taken up by 18th and 21st birthdays which can wipe out a big number from pressos if all the players came from the same school.

The town and 'pre-drink' issue is also a big influence. Going to town is expensive, especially if you're a student. It costs you $20 to drink 10 drinks at home bought from a bottleo, $50/$60 to drink from the footy club, $60-$90 to do it in town. When you don't have much money and your aim is to get as gassed as possible they are valuable $$. Time is really money between footy and going to town. It also means when young players do come to the club they don't spend much.

I think AFL football at Adelaide Oval has a lot more impact than sportingpulse, going to town, etc, etc,

I think the younger generation is a contributing factor but we used to have our shower, go in for a beer, organise dropping our cars & gear off then someone would do a quick pick up of all of us and take us back to the club for presso's and pre-town drinks.

I'd say the tougher drink driving laws would have a big impact too, 3 pints and you're over the limit.


I agree with what you are saying, they where the best days to play football. In the CDFA you new all the players and it was very common to have a few beers with the opposition afterwards. There was also a lot more places to go out to in the North.
