Tickets have been bought! I'm flying up from Melbourne and doing it all in 1 day. Not sure how late the game will finish but I have a flight back to Melbourne at 8:25pm.

2 years in a row we're playing an away QF where the ground is our advantage.
Well played RTB

Yeah that 30% off Virgin flight I booked last month is looking mighty ******* prescient now.
What's the go with tickets? Am I practically guaranteed some with the Freo members allocation or do I have to climb over hoards of rabid east coast scum to claim my rightful seats?

Booked my tickets from perth to sydney 3 weeks ago predicting this finish.

Lets try to get as many fans over as we can
They are quiet supporters we can do what we did in Geelong last year.

Weird shape and suburban leisure centre atmosphere aside, apparently that's a big knock on the ground
I have not heard many good things about it for AFL.
Looks like from the pics most people gather on the wings and behind goals.
The 45 degree angle near behind posts don't look popular

Wow everyone seems pretty confident. I'm worried about their key forwards, Dawson conceded a lot of goals against Schulz, McPharlin won't be fit and Johnson could hardly run. Who knows what the go is with scos? We are going to need our midfield to get a clear win, not an easy thing to do. Ibbo and Spurr both played well against the power, they are going to be crucial against the swans. Swans fans complain about cola in the title, well imagine having to come up against a side who have 9.8% more to spend than you during finals. The cola jibes are just words, but if Buddy kicks a bag it will be the cola that killed us.

While I get the COLA rage it really is just another incentive to knock em over rather than anything else. Working through bad refs, poor AFL calls and the like without complaining is part of the groups DNA. It just the victory so much sweeter.
SCOS is ready to roll reckons RTB and
Jonno will be too, apparently. It's gonna be wet which will help us but they have also been training in it for two weeks already.
ANZ gets dissed a lot as it lacks atmosphere. The tiers are quite wide and let out a bunch of noise. In terms of seating I find it's quite forgiving being up high due to the layout but you'd wanna be as close to centre as possible.
Underdogs. I like it. I'm sure Ross loves it. And the boys thrive on it.

As a place to watch sport, it's great. Viewing angles are fantastic no matter where you sit. It's arguably better than the MCG in terms of seating such that where ever you sit you'll have a good view of the game. I've seen the NRL grand final, state of origin, World Cup qualifiers and AFL matches and I've never had a bad viewing experience.
But for atmosphere, it sucks. Sound doesn't resonate, so even for a sold out game it seems soulless. Best overall experience has been the World Cup qualifiers, but if the stadium is even half full it seems like no one is there. Honestly, the atmosphere at the GWS ground across the road is better with 6,000 people there than 50,000 at Stadium Australia. And for most people it's a half hour or longer train ride there and back which takes out a lot of the buzz of going to the footy.
Also, Sydney fans are tossers.
Had look at the flights last night then remembered that my beautiful, darling boy is turning 3 next f******g Saturday! No flights for me.

You may need to reassess what's really important in life. Sounds like you have your priorities mixed up.

Little kids love long flights and crowded, noisy stadiums right?
I'm a bit concerned of the quality of the surface of the ground. They just showed it on Game Day and it's like hard mud with a bit of grass scattered over the surface. The boys are going to need the extra week off to recover from the bruises they're going to get landing on it.
