For the life of me, I’ll never understand why the person running the AFL is a ‘bad guy’.

Part of the Pantomime that is the greatest football code in the world

 

[Jabba73]

I grew up with it.

Mum was Jack Hamilton’s PA for 20 years.

So, she’s a married mother duking it out with every testosterone boofhead under the sun, defending her boss about the greatest game on earth.

Who spend 22 weeks shitcanning the game, then beg for grand final tickets.

Obviously this will be deleted by me.

But people talk equality in the workplace........my mum sat at the big table for 20 years.

On ability.

That made me laugh.

Good on your mum, some of those boys clubs could use a bit of a different perspective. Cutting through the bullshit is the trick

'Shot in the groin': Hawks in court over armed pokies stick-up

Hawthorn Football Club's dependence on gambling revenue has landed the club in court after a violent armed robbery at one of its lucrative poker machine venues.

www.theage.com.au

"Hawthorn has the highest poker machine revenue of all AFL clubs, raking in $24.7 million in losses by punters in 2018/19. As well as 75 machines at Vegas At Waverley Gardens, Hawthorn has a further 90 at West Waters Hotel in Caroline Springs. Football's dependence on slots has drawn criticism from community groups, with Collingwood, Geelong, Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs all committed to ditching pokies."

Blow up the pokies

Blow up the pokies

Saw the Whitlams play that live, not long after it was released.

Ironically, we were in a NSW club at the time.

not sure where to ask, but.

when will tickets for round 1 go on sale?
also will it be hard to get one ticket?.....

 

[thylacine60]

you'll be fine - 1 ticket is easier to get than a group - these games as popular as they are never sell out - it's the mcg remember..........

80k plus crowd.........

I just get the home and away membership every year, although it doesn't guarantee you a seat, but if you rock up right up just as the gates open or are happy with standing room, you will be fine (if you chose to elect/can afford to buy such a membership)

Book a ticket. Not worth leaving it, to too late.

Get one for a friend while you are at it.

Don’t want to leave getting two to too late either

 

[Accidental genius]

Ask a simple question and what do you get...

80k plus crowd.........

And the vast majority will be Tiggies supporters there for the unveiling of their latest premiership flag.

From chocolates to boiled lollies when we beat them.

Wonder if the food vendors will line up their microwaves for the ceremonial melt for all the Tigers members as they leave.

Is it the frosted tips in his hair?

Hawthorn must end addiction to poker machines now

My club, and any AFL club for that matter, should not profit from pokies revenue. They should choose, on principle, to not profit from the exploitation of problem gamblers.

Broadcasters blocked half-time reduction

Anxiety from broadcasters, fearful of a loss in advertising revenue, is the main reason half-time will stay at 20 minutes this season.

They might have to settle for pie-warmers. There is always plenty of those at the 'G'. It might take a bit longer for the membership cards to melt, but ultimately will end up with the same result.

Good. There isn’t enough time when it’s a big game as it is, the line for the ladies room can take up the whole half time.

That’ll work. Tigers fans are a patient lot
