Going to be a tough game, coming up against huge names like Bice, Hanily, Wicks, Cleary ,Sheldrick and Ladhams.

North by 76, one point for each interchange

Made me think of this...

The line-up is three originals - Steve Jones (guitar), Paul Cook (drums) and Glen Matlock (the actual bass player who wrote a lot of Never Mind the Bollocks not the pretender who replaced him) with Frank Carter from Gallows on vocals.

Lydon has become more campaignerish as he's got older and joined the MAGA crew and doesn't want anything to do with the Pistols - he's become a sad old man.

I'm pumped about tonight - the shows with Frank Carter have been awesome from what I've seen heard.

I saw Lydon with PiL on the Have a Rotten Christmas tour in 1984 - he a very engaging performer back then.

I saw Glen Matlock play bass with Johnny Thunders in the late 1980s.

I'm yet to see Jones and Cook but the Steve Jones guitar sound is one of my all time favourite guitar sounds and I can't wait to hear/feel that wall of sound wash over me tonight.

Does anyone else find the bounding roo animation with the 2 legs we use on game day at the ground really weird? Every time I see it bounding around the ground it just feels off

Long may it continue that we're now worried about the visual effects opposed to the on-field performances.

I was at that game.

It’s incredible what happened during and after.

We started 2007 with 3 straight losses and looked like our club was going to be shipped off to the Gold Coast. Remembering we’d finished 3rd last in 2006 and lost Thompson to an acl on the eve of the 2007 season.

We then won our next 6, the 3rd of those wins being against the swans.

I was off my face and enjoyed it HARD.

And from then it’s been nothing but heartache against the swans at marvel. I think it was the next game in 08 that was a draw, Azz broke his leg and they had an extra man in the ground.

There was the game JZ kicked 5, Maj kicked 4 on Alir Alir and we were in a last qrt winning position but lost with alir running off maj to kick the winner.

And then finally the interchange infringement game that just about broke me. As I left the ground I tried to get into a fight with any swans supporter I could find but thankfully my wife told me to pull my head in. Not something I’m proud of.

We’re proud of you mate

FYI - fully anticipate Marvel stadium security to take a lot longer processing people through the gates tonight, after the incident at the MCG.

Prepare accordingly.

Not letting anyone in to the stadium so far. The security here don't know why, but I've been at a gate for the last 30 mins, there's some sort of issue going on.

stuck doing a lap of the city loop, because why would PTV have a train running direct from North Melbourne station to Southern Cross an hour before a North Melbourne match

Buses from Newy, $30 for a cab.

I saw there are buses on the Glen Waverley line too. Blah.

Meanwhile the train I’ve hopped on is chocka with North supporters. Not a common experience for me.

Well if you printed it apparently it won’t show up on the scanner
