Game Day NAB Cup Round 1: Essendon-Collingwood-Western Bulldogs

[mike14]

Would have liked to have seen JD get a run, but no biggy. Will be interesting to see how they come out after the week they've had

 

[yaco55]

He hasn't played any of the three-peat games IIRC

Looks like Fletch has finally convinced the coaching staff to let him play.

 

[Doss]

I won't be there, stupid work.

I will be there in spirit. Someone can even take along a cardboard cut-out of me for extra effect if they wish, I won't complain.

I believe Watson, Colyer, Daniher & Howlett will be playing in our next round of nab games (vs richmond correct)?

that would only leave out Melksham, Gumby, Zaha, & Winders.

All 4 SHOULD be ok to play the last practice match before Round 1 of the home/away season

as long as we don't get anymore injuries, I am confident we'll have an entire list to pick from to play Adelaide

I bought my 2 tickets the day they became available. Don't forget, it's Pies & Dons for god sake! And it's only Etihad Stadium. If we don't get atleast 45k I'd be very surprised.

I wouldn't. Just took a look for available tickets. now mind you, I don't know how ticketing works but Reserve seating is sold out. Oly general admission is available.

In saying that, I do not know how many tickets are left.

 

[Simoman]

So has anyone bought their tickets yet ? or are most people just going to rock up on the night ?

I have and it's mainly because I can't be bothered queuing at the ground. If you pre-purchase you can just go straight through which is particularly great if you happen to be running late for some reason.

heh- I get in free either way

 

[VelvetSledge]

I think we'll be extremely lucky to hit 30,000 on Friday night.
I'll be there though, right on the boundary line, wearing my new #9 jumper...

#9 is a popular number in my household- We were big fans of Rama

 

[IriDiuM]

Ugh, work sucks Will spend the evening pretending to work while actually glued to the radio, then go home and watch the games on IQ.

Jobe Watson & Melksham set to return in 2 weeks vs Tigers. according to Foxsports News just now

 

[stugots]

No Daniher, ******* disgrace.

Sack coach!

 

[rines]

For anyone unfortunate enough to have made the mistake of having kids.. they get in for free but only if you *pre-book* with ticketmaster...

No way we get anywhere close to 45K, but hopefully mid 20's will be good!

 

[Jobe3votes]

Just called Etihad stadium, they have no idea how many tickets have been sold so far hmmm. WIll call ticketmaster either in a moment or 1st thing tomorrow

edit:- well I look like an idiot. by the sounds of it, will be lucky to get 30k ha ha

 

[yaco55]

Good to see Bomber back on the track.

Crowd Prediction 18K.

 

[gO_bOmBeRz]
