It's the best thing to happen to this state for years. As others pointed out to me, the impact in the states economy is huge.
If the state govt pays the AFL enough to cover lost seat sales in Vic and we make 4 times that back in the local economy it's a win/win.
I'm not even shitty that Port and Adelaide get an extra home game! :lol:
The atmosphere at all the events and games I've been to has been first class. Even where I am atm there's equal amounts of West Coast, Geelong, Collingwood and Saints fans and everyone is getting along famously.
Was a similar atmosphere at Norwood on Friday in pubs with Freo and Suns fans.

PS I reserve the right to withdraw my opinion if West Coast beat Geelong today. :lol:


Bonus round, no loss in sales.
Like Collingwood have 17 home games.
Whoops, there goes another year. Whoops, there goes another pint of beer.

I had tickets to yesterdays game but didn’t realise it was my old cricket clubs presentation night and their player of the year trophy is named in my honour, that pulled rank.

was about to post that the crowd looks less now than the 1st game, weathers crap would have something to do with it surely :roll:
Most of the Essendon and Dees fans left after the first game and headed into town for dinner by the looks. A hell of a lot of Bombers fans out and about in the CBD

One would suspect it would be even worse today with the two hour gap between games (and a game at Norwood during that time).
I can't see too many Collingwood and St Kilda fans rocking up 4 hours before their game starts (or Geelong and West Coast fans staying 4 hours after theirs finishes.)
Weird planning.

Gap between games will be an hour like yesterday.

I suspect part of the negotiations will be that there is either a Showdown to kick it off on a Thursday night or both the Crows and Port will “host” a game in Alice or Darwin later in the season.
Gil will bend over to Hardwick, Matthews etc

He’s coaching the bronze medalists of the Paralympians, no one could bring them back to the pack, they don’t seem to have much coming through either.
