Leigh Matthews on AA seems to be having a really hard time coming to grips with the fact that the All-Australian team is picked on form for the current season and not on reputation*...

*For the most part.
He is really struggling lately. Turning into a Kerls / KG type. Said Luke Parker shouldn't be in the squad also. Really?

Lethal's clearly a big fan of Danger.

Pretty funny when he questioned if Boaky had a better year than him.

Subtext: Danger had a better year than Boaky.

cRowey and Bone shut him down!

Meanwhile, 15,000 tickets remained for sale to Saturday night's North Melbourne-Essendon clash at the MCG.

About 24,000 tickets were still unsold to the latest chapter in the Hawthorn-Geelong rivalry at the MCG on Friday night.

There were 43,000 tickets still available for the other qualifying final between the Sydney Swans and Fremantle at ANZ Stadium on Saturday.

Those MCG tickets are public tickets only. MCC members don't have to buy tickets just buy a reserved seat. There are only 6,000 of those seats out of the 23,000 MCC members reserve.

Then there are AFL members but the way I read it they have to buy a ticket.

In Sydney there are 16,000 stadium members so that 43,000 left might mean 82,000 -16,000 = 66,000 - 43,000 = 23,000 tickets have been sold.

I used to think he had an eye for talent but after he had trouble rating Gray until he saw him play live post AFLCA I don't think he watches all that much footy in games he doesn't cover.

His rant was a little fanboy-esque falling into the trap rating Dangerwince's reputation/potential best over his actual performance output which was rather poor compared to his last few years.

I thoroughly enjoyed the passage of play where Clangerwince got a 1-2 and kicked an uncharacteristic shocker to no-one which was disputed and the crows recovered it, gave it back to Dangerfield who proceeded to kick another uncharacteristic clanger and turn it over. Was fantastic.
EFA.
