Mate, I saw the pic of your Vegemite on toast the other day.

You are already starving yourself.

What did you do, just waft the jar over the top of the toast?

Nah mate.. I was actually teasing him.. it was like.. 'you want me to put some more.. you want me to put some more'.. kinda like dangling a bit of a carrot re..

 

[MyManLynch]

OUT: Oxley, Madgen, Murphy
IN: Howe, Treloar, Goldsack

Quick...grab the trumpet.

 

[HFF]

Great ins overall.

We had to pick Sack over Madgen.
Just had to.

The other two are no brainers if they're right to go.

 

[MagpieJoel]

So can anyone confirm our flight was cancelled?

Got to disagree with you on this one OA
I think his butter to vegemite ratio was pretty spot on.
Nice technique.

There is a Qantas flight on its way now.

Read elsewhre our flight was cancelled (assume because of storms) and they won't travel until tomorrow, meaning we miss training on the oval.

Not ideal if true.

 

[TimothyJ23]

Fairly confident they got the following flight which wasn't cancelled - VA697 which as I post is somewhere over Horsham, scheduled to arrive around midnight AWST

I disagree with you, while the butter amount was good & plentiful the Vegemite was sadly lacking.

Well unless you're feeding it to a newborn baby.

Slather that salty goodness on!!!!!!!

Which means they won’t get to bed until around 1am, which is 3am by their body clocks - not ideal preparation.

How good are the official airline of the AFL!

As a result of the initial delay, the second flight departed after 10.25pm and was due to arrive into Perth after 2.15am AEST (12.15am WST).

Cox posted a photo to social media highlighting the delay while taking in the first quarter of Thursday night's qualifying final between Richmond and Hawthorn.

As the Tigers celebrated post-match, the Pies remained on the tarmac.

It is expected the Pies won't hit their hotel rooms until close to 3am AEST (1am WST) on Friday morning.

Clear AFL conspiracy and an absolute disgrace. Have flown paper planes through weather worse than this

 

[ottoman]

No biggie.
There is still two days before the match.
Have a sleep in.
They're big boys, they can handle it.

Agree it's a conspiracy though.

 

[Morganashlee]

Pathetic by virgin to allow such a delay. How embarrassing

How do you get to watch the match, what time will you be watching there?

Understandable but I've always found it frustrating.

 

[76woodenspooners]

I’d imagine it’ll be pretty close to a traditional 2:10pm kickoff for ottoman ?

I use free sports streaming sites. The quality isn't exactly HD but it does the job.
If you like when I get home from work I can PM you some of the sites I use, I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to post them here.
Match is at 1,10pm my time.
In other words well and truly beer o'clock time.

Efes?

 

[PicaBoo]

Massive, massive risk taking Goldy and Treloar in, but I think it's worth rolling the dice.

Winning week one of the finals is worth the risk.... But it could blow up in our face big time.

And then what? We fought hard for finals with a 2nd chance, let's use it.
That one week extra won't hurt their recovery or match fitness.
What it will give them , is match time that they would have otherwise lacked.
More training won't make them finals ready; playing finals will
If we have to risk losing the first one a bit more to give us a better chance to win the second one, so be it.
I don't give us much chance without Treloar and Goldsack either.

Yes please, I have one that you may like too. Only problem there is a 30-60 second delay.

 

[ottoman]

Efes?

No, I prefer Bomonti.

Sounds good.
I try to keep as many options available as I can as sometimes a stream may not work on one site so it's good to be able to try others.

Ahem Virgin does AfL.

They cancelled Virgin?

The conception in this day and age is immaculate
