They mooted this at the AGM. Gives the players some exposure to their "home" ground, but gee curtain raisers would be preferable from a spectator perspective. Perfect lead-in.

 

[POBT]

Assume that means no "kick to kick" as well.

Finally a NEAFL game at the 'Gabba but the times are mixed up.

The seniors game should've been at 3.40pm and the curtain raiser should have been at midday.

Also means the food/drink vendors are likely to close and certainly the shuttle buses won't be running afterwards either.

 

[Caiphus]

Will they have to play around the roped off cricket pitch?

You can always kick over it

 

[Tassie4ever]

Maybe we could use the penetrometer as a weapon of choice.

There will be a very frantic groundskeeper in the middle in soft slippers picking up the ball and scowling at whoever had the temerity to kick on to his pitch.

They will most likely keep some open, at the shield games they have one food/drink vendor open

Also when the Roar did the double header (in Jan) they had shuttle buses running from midday instead of the usual 2 hours before a game, so they probably will use common sense and have a shuttle bus after the ressies game

The more I think about it, the more I think this is an Eddie/AFL/anyone else who hates us conspiracy to **** over our developing ruck stocks*, not content with our senior rucks breaking their legs & ankles.

*HaHa, stocks.

He's a flipping gun that guy.

He's a flipping gun that guy.

Usually. He didn't answer any of my questions on the tweeters today.

I'm sure he'll fall back into some form.

 

[Mr Ripper]

I've heard the sun was reflecting off his screen and he was typing my memory.

Result?
