Game Day Round 1 vs. Sydney, MCG, 7:40pm Fri 15/03

[foreigner]

Am hearing Brody Grundy is taking a big chunk of Sydney's salary cap 1.2 million plus another 700 k for Taylor Adams ,
i think the Swans were thinking of targeting Cam Zurhah from North this year but that wont happen now and they may need to let a few players go at seasons end due to their over inflated salary cap.

In the 'Midweek Tackle' last night they mentioned that the Swans pay around 750k of Grundy's salary and we pay about 300k. Demons pay nothing it seems.

You mean whingeing? Is that what it is? Does that mean you are whingeing about whingeing?

Yes, I do.

Sounds about right give or take 100 in total. Demons didn’t need to chip in any subsidy because unlike Collingwood they weren’t over paying him.

No reason they can't do it after the warm up and before they come back outside. Thats like about 30-40 mins where nothing happens.

It'll probably take that long for some of the old codgers to get off the ground.

 

[sideswipe]

Yes, I do.

Might post some more about the flag unfurling, just to keep you interested. Did you know that it was traditionally done by the President's wife? Big Al changed that in 1990 when he arranged for Jock McHale Jr to do it. Another tradition lost to the game.

Mods : Maybe the non stop unfurling of the flag commentary can have its own thread?

It's part of tomorrow night's game. Just skip over things that don't interest you. You have that special power to do so. Use it.

I’ll just say one thing about the unfurling of the flag then move on.I think it should be held at around 7pm,still 40 minutes before the game starts,to give more people the chance to see it happen.If it happens at 6.15,as reported,there won’t be many people in the ground to see it happen,which is a shame.

You have to read it first to know what it's about though, don't you?

 

[manicpie]

Just unfurl it

Still relevant as it is about tomorrow's game, not everything is off topic.

I come from one side of the city and pick up grandkids from the other side then travel to MCG. Normally I get there about 7.00pm (depending on traffic).

The original time was a pain.

You should be able to work it out pretty quickly and skip along. If you can't, then on behalf of all flag unfurling posters, I do apologize for taking up your time.

You have over 6500 posts in less than a year on BF. Sometimes we all have to read things that aren't of interest.

6.16pm is a joke on supporters.


another example of the club forgetting and/or ignoring its core.

Looking forward to unfurling some whoop-ass on the Swans tomorrow night. Just win, baby.

Yeah what happened to the 'frontline of the magpie army'.
Even if you're in the CBD, finishing work at 5:30 you'd struggle to make it on time.

I live in Daylesford. I also work. Guess what? I'm going to do everything I can to get there whatever time the flag gets unfurled.

Good for you.

TBH I think we'll towel the Swannies up.

No. But getting to the G at any time is quite often a struggle, lol.

I've been known to scour and wade through some nice little trout streams around Daylesford. Beautiful part of the state

Also Collingwood: "We're going to charge you to watch our documentary"
