[Section 5]

I guess you need to consider a lot more than just can you fit 60,000 seats in

Yes the seats need to be wider to account for the ever widening waistline of the Australian population
Building a Stadium from scratch they should be able to design it to give a better spectator/player/media experience
I would like the capacity to just nudge past Suncorp Stadium 52,500

The seating/stadium design should be to benefit the tenants AFL & Cricket with some concert design included
From this point they can work out the best Olympic layout for the 2 weeks

The design should not be the reverse.
But when politicians are involved anything could happen

I wish.. went to docklands the other week and my fat ass was off the seat.. Lucky I go with my son and can park some of it on his

Big fan of Orla's mum's name.

Brilliant , worth far more than a like.

I know they are under staffed. but if the Lions could use this as a template for a series of interviews with players parents - both M & F - I, for one, would be a huge fan.

Latest round of fixtures just released >

Round 9- v Suns @ Metricon, Saturday 15th May 4.35pm.

Round 10- v Tigers @ The Gabba, Friday 21st May 7.50pm.

Great that we get another Friday night game, can't say I'm a fan of the 7.50pm bouncedown though, like the earlier 7.20-25pm starts.

[Section 5]

Fridays are just about always 7.50pm AEST.
Gives working people more time to make it to the game
Only extra half hour for kids to sleep in Saturday morning should they attend game or watch on TV

Gives me time to get home from work, have a quick shower and bite, and get the bus back to the Gabba.

Good to see that we are still "Uncaged" in 2032. No one has maneged to "Cage" the Loins.

Apparently a blues fan

Would be great if he did a Marc Murphy

Meh.......!
Ashcroft will be better than them both.

Its always such a bad financial move playing on the same team ss your brother. You may end up limiting your own brother's salary and playing time. Such a bad career move.

ZoBlitz wrote in a thread that shall not be named ... Ok people, if Melbourne win this weekend I'm locking this thread and banning all operation threads by you and your children and your children's children.

For three months.

What I was wondering is how selective locking works since potentially we do have posters with great grandchildren who are followers of football ... if they *did* want to post would they need to PM a mod or ...?

Ah sorry my bad ... It was new operation thread creation you were discoursing upon ... ah well the technical query still stands...

*blinks innocently*

If anyone wants to create an operation thread they will first need to exhume Norm Smith and find his silver tongue

Johnstone, Merrett, Dalziell, Stiller, Collier and Selwood

 

[Eons]

Scott Harding right at the back with the mouthguard? Looks like Bradshaw behind him.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Jamie Charman's arm on the extreme right and Leuey's right hand appearing to whack Chinny Stiller in the side of the head.

 

[Harris Specter]

I can't seem to find Rich's first game anywhere.
