Channel 7 piss me off more and more everyday. Should be on TV, instead I have to watch YouTube quality video in a tiny computer window. Surely being on TV would have encouraged more donations too.

I don't like Seven - but in fairness to them, this was organised the day before it happened, not much notice.

Highlights looked awesome.

Oh come on man, I'm sure there something they could have moved so they could show it. They just suck, plain and simple.

I started lining up at 8am for tickets. (I didn't realise seats weren't allocated.) But it was totally worth it. Kudos for the players for doing this.
