Bingo.
Gabba game should be a 2.10 or 2.30 p.m. first bounce but again, TV ratings.
Saturday night game is fine IF no team is travelling.
Can’t play the Gabba game at night. Part of the AFLPA agreement is that all sides must be back in their home state by Saturday night.Wedgie wrote:Brodlach wrote:RB wrote:Wedgie wrote:I suppose it's all about tv ratings.

Hot playing there during the day at that time.
Play the G Prelim Sat arvo and Brisbane game at night.
Mind you it's 2 degrees cooler in Brisbane than Adelaide today.

The club seriously needs and outside influence to come in and change things up.
Not sure you're reading the room on this one. Very few defending the decision to reappoint or the selections.

Seemed a weird description of my lad, having lunch with him and he said he didn't end up wearing a Bengals top, he did see the same guy you did and went up to him to chat about the Bengals but the bloke doesn't even follow the game, just a bandwagonner.
My lad actually wore his Giants guernsey, had a great story of a Port supporter having a go at him at the bar asking him how the Giants went in their last GF, only to remind the Port supporter of how they went in their last GF!

Yes, I'm sure that's exactly how the conversation went

Twilight game allows Carlton to get the last flight back to Melbourne that night

FWIW my form rankings;
1. Brisbane
2. Collingwood & Melbourne
4. GWS
5. Carlton
6. Port
We'll see how that pans out.
Dutchy wrote:GWS were outstanding and have timed their run perfectly, in the 1st half they smashed them in the clearances, contested possession as well as uncontested possession. Port did get some momentum back by breaking even in the stoppages in the 3rd and the game became more of a grind however the damage had been done.
I think GWS can really push Collingwood.

Most of the post game stuff on here is the latter.
Anyway GWS we’re bloody good and are a good chance to beat the Pies this week.

Six day break. They've been served up on a platter to the Pies.
