Friday night's Collingwood-Essendon is shaping up to be a blockbuster match given both team's recent performances.

Patrons wishing to attend the match are advised to pre-purchase their tickets as soon as possible as the game is expected to sell-out in advance. If this occurs, there will be no general admission tickets available to purchase on the night.

Given the expected attendance, patrons are encouraged to allow plenty of time to arrive at the stadium and to take public transport where possible.

Tickets can be purchased through Ticketek (www.ticketek.com.au, phone 132 849 or at Ticketek agencies).

AFL members tickets for the game have already passed the attendence on Friday night. I can't get tickets before row DD now... I really should of bought tickets earlier.

Let's revisit 1993

Essendon 2.6 9.7 15.10 18.15 (123)
Collingwood 1.1 4.7 7.10 7.13 (55)
GOALS: Essendon: D.Bewick 4, T.Watson 3, P.Salmon 3, D.Kickett 3, M.Symons 2, D.Calthorpe, M.Long, M.Mercuri
Collingwood: S.Rocca 3, M.McGuane, S.Russell, S.Watson, B.Rowe

This was in atrocious conditions which is predicted for this Friday.

Was 3rd (us) V 5th (them) and we won and finished the round on top.

We all KNOW what took place for the remainder of the 1993 Season.

CHANNEL 7 will not show the Collingwood-Essendon blockbuster live into Melbourne, even if tomorrow night's clash is a sell-out.

What a load of bollocks.

This quote was a highlight:

"However, we have a commitment to more than 400,000 viewers who week in, week out across the year watch Seven's highly successful Better Homes and Gardens at 7.30pm.
"We feel we need to stay loyal to this audience."
