Does the half time entertainment of a H&A game influence peoples decision to attend? It is only 20 minutes, I guess most here just love the game so it makes little difference.

Do punch ups in the crowd outdo some strobe lights & some music? Not convinced the NRL have it right themselves.

Safety for attendees over a short period of secondary entertainment for me.

Half time is for toilet stops and beer lines

Further - Do drunk idiots & some loud music with strobe lights have a correlation with crowd violence?

Little bit Bears, little bit boomerang. Love it.

And Darryl White is such a great bloke. Had half an hour in the pub with him a few years ago, and it is still one of my fondest memories.

Great bloke with a disarming sense of humour.

In the era he played we didn't get to see a lot of him publicly but his personality would've been a huge hit these days.

If anything was going to drive me to violence it's screaming banshees telling me how and when to barrack.

I read that as "telling me how and when to bark" I need caffeine in my system quick.

No but I don't want two women screaming through PA's about Lachie Neale's calves. Point is put on some music, stfu and let people have a gander during the qtr time breaks.

In relation to game day experience. Rugby League is dire and pathetic, the night was incredibly boring contest wise, crowd full of middle aged men with high egos. Good interval entertainment though.

Looks like the crowd was providing their own entertainment.

“Magic round” off to a flyer.

That was the only one that's been sent to the media. The night was full of small fights. Wasn't enjoyable. Have been given free tickets for the entire weekend. Won't be going back

I was in the Valley yesterday and a lot of the attendees were already drinking early in the afternoon. No surprise that there was some unrest.

You couldn't pay me to go to a league game. Lots of brittle egos fueled by grog trying to prove how 'hard' they are. Plus the game is not interesting.

Not to mention the ones that get liquored up at the Caxton or the Paddo. But like others have said, there'd no doubt be some other illicit substances being consumed. Most of the issues they have in English soccer crowds are with drugs rather than booze - it wouldn't surprise if it's a lot more widespread than people might expect.

Is it just me or are others finding the AFL app extremely clunky, particularly the ‘Matches’ section of the app?

I regularly get frustrated with it

To settle a discussion: can anyone confirm who wore 49 for the Bears in 1993? My yearbooks are locked away at the moment.

According to 1993 Brisbane Bears Team Page - FinalSiren.com player #49 was ... ok no one listed there.

According to AFL Tables - All Time Player List - Brisbane Bears the only player who wore #49 for the Bears was Ben Harris and he only played 1987-1990

Not sure if that helps ...

It doesn't, but thanks for looking. It's someone who didn't crack it for a senior game, so won't appear on most sites.

You could probably narrow it to one of 17 by checking out the guys without numbers at Brisbane Playing List for 1993 - Draftguru.

Not seen that before, thanks! It does narrow it down a bit, but the search continues...

Anyone know when the tickets for our game against Melbourne at the G will be on sale? Also, where's the best spot to sit as an away fan at the G?

This week I think. No clue re where to sit as an away fan as the last lions game at the G I got to see was the 2018 Richmond pasting

Another great RobVlog, Mitch's little daughter's reaction to becoming a big sister is so gorgeous.

Froggy the MVP of this one imo. Loved seeking Darryl Jr at the end too.

Two of Mitch's kids have lived with their dad as a superstar afl player (over two hundred games =superstar, don't care about the criticisms) .

One of kids will have absolutely no idea. By the time she is old enough to have memories he Will be long gone. Sure, she will hear the stories and see the relics, but will never experience the thrill of seeing him run out in a stadium of 30k cheering fans.

Weird. Wonder if she will give him more grief as she gets older than the others.
