    Game Day AFL Rd 1 - Collingwood v NM - Matchday and Post Match Discussion

    Hi Magpie Girl, They were showing highlights of it on the television in the UK when I was a teenager, I didn’t know anything about Aussie Rules at the time, but like’d it, so kept watching. One of the commentators said Collingwood were like the Manchester United of Aussie Rules, so being a...

    Game Day AFL Rd 1 - Collingwood v NM - Matchday and Post Match Discussion

    From South Wales in the UK, near Cardiff (if anyone knows where that is :) ). Been following the Pies for about 25 years (I'm 39). It's my first time in Australia, main reason was to see the Pies playing a couple of games, arranged the trip to take in the Melbourne Grand Prix too. Had a couple...

    Game Day AFL Rd 1 - Collingwood v NM - Matchday and Post Match Discussion

    Well that was my first ever AFL game yesterday at the Etihad yesterday, really enjoyed it. I was expecting that we'd smash them but it was pretty nervy towards the end til we scored our last goal. Sidebottom, my favourite Pie, scored the first goal so I was delighted with that, ha! 10700 mile...

    Ticketek ticket selection

    Well I sucked it up in the end and just bought a ticket. In the Dry Bay, Section M7 :( Why is Ticketek such a pain in the a$$ with how tickets are sold. Ticketmaster is so much easier, letting you pick the actual seat.

    Ticketek ticket selection

    Ok I'll keep trying.... While I'm thinking about it. I bought a reserved seat for the North Melbourne game, I'm in section L2 44. Please tell me I've not picked where North fans will be hanging out :)

    Ticketek ticket selection

    Hi, Trying to buy tix for our game with Carlton, I'm an international member so trying to upgrade one of my free home games. I'm picking reserved seating or premium reserved seating in the category but then its giving me tickets in m1 or m51, saying that's the best available. That's in the end...

    Tickets and good places to sit

    Hi all, Nearly 5 weeks until I come over from the UK for my Oz trip and I wanna sort Pies tickets as soon as they go on sale for North, Carlton and Hawthorn but I have a few questions if you can help; - Is Ticketmaster the only place to get tickets for AFL games? - I realise Collingwood fans...

    When do tickets go on sale for the 2013 season?

    Hi, I was just wondering when they are likely to go on sale, so I can get my tickets for North Melb, Carlton and Hawthorn early. Visiting Oz from the UK in March and don't want to find the two MCG games sell out before I can get a ticket. Though I doubt the Hawks game would but I'd imagine the...

    Which Team do you Dislike the Most?

    Hmmm. Tough call, but I'd say the team I most hate is Chelski, but Man City are coming up the wing quickly. I guess it's teams that threaten Uniteds dominance. Used to be Arsenal and to a lesser degree Liverpool (but they have harmless these days). Saying that though, atleast Arsenal and...

    Pies tough opening weeks

    How does whomever's playing home and away affect ticket allocation at the MCG ? Does it make a difference for non member fans ?

    Pies tough opening weeks

    Brilliant, I'm over from the UK for the start of the season, first 3 games and we get those teams :( I was hoping for Melbourne, Gold Coast and GWS all at the MCG :) Saying that, atleast I'll get to see brilliant atmospheres and huge crowds, plus we're generally injury free now so should...

    News 2013 AFL Fixture.

    Why is it that the AFL keeps dribbling the fixtures list out over a couple of weeks? This team is playing this team in round 1, then a few days later, ooh now these teams are playing in round 4 or 5. Then they fill out of the rest of round 1, then say maybe this game will be round 2, geez. Then...

    What time of day should the Grand Final be played?

    Saturday night, Victorian time zone. It would mean I didn't have to get up at 4am (UK time) to watch it. Seriously though, night games generally have better atmosphere I believe.

    Hockey memorabilia

    Cool win on the Jaime Benn stick, he's awesome. My memorabilia doesn't really match the other cool stuff on here, but I do have an ice hockey puck from a Manchester Storm v Cardiff Devils game that came over the safety glass. I didn't realise until two kids dived under my seat, but I put my...

    Who do you follow internationally?

    I follow Finland. It started because I followed Mika Hakkinen in F1. Have seen Finland in 2 Karjala Cup's and went to see them in the World Championships this year in Helsinki. Will be back to see them next year too, again in Helsinki. The Finnish hockey fans are crazy crazy crazy.
