General Bombers Talk Questions and discussions that don't warrant a thread

[BomberDave]

Also wanted to ask, will our cheer squad be in the Olympic Stand, Great Southern Stand or the Ponsford Stand for the Carlton game ?

I am also interested in the above question. Definitely hoping my seats aren't smack bang in the middle of the Carlton Cheer squad!

Also does anyone have any idea what the 140th Anniversary Guernseys will look like? will it be just a normal Home jumper with a 140th anniversary emblem (similar to the Dreamtime AFL Logo)?

Just got an email from Essendon:


Thank you for your email.

In regards to your enquiry, our cheersquad will be in the Southern Stand.

If you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards,

Why do they call Hibberd, Pig?

Why do they call Hibberd, Pig?

His parents owned a farm and were famous for winning their local show pig competition every year.

 

[daz17]

Why do they call Hibberd, Pig?

He had a segment on The Hangar Out of the Bag and he said he doesn't really know it just stuck.
Had it before he was at Essendon.

Alex Browne commented on it in the same segment this week. Said something like it's easy to see why they call him Pig.. but then tried to make some connection to playing practical jokes. Don't really see the connection between the two myself but he didn't elaborate.

Yoda may know the origins of the name.

Transiting overnight at Singapore's Changi Airport. Still an awesome place - Got a room overnght in the Transit for about $80 Aussie. Area is dotted with free internet, Wi- Fi, 24hr fitness centre, swimming pool, restaurants open for 24hrs. And this is just the transit area. This is an airport where you could stay 24hrs.

Does anyone know if the fluro yellow training guernsey is going to be sold? I am very interested in acquiring one.

If it's not on sale by now, I wouldn't think so...
Email the club and see what they say, but I doubt they'll end up selling them.

 

[cymarak]

Turns out allocation is indeed exhausted for the Essendon vs Hawks match

Was that confirmed by Ticketmaster or by the club ?

I remember someone saying a while back the club had told them some of the ANZAC Day seats were being held back as the club was hoping to get people to buy memberships instead of game tickets - I don't know if that was true or not, or if they'd do that for other games.

Oh well, it's not as if anyone could have ever predicted that Essendon / Hawks would draw more than Etihad could hold

I emailed them in pre-season hoping i could get the fluro yellow.

They said later in the year and just left it there.

I doubt it now

My workmate called Ticketmaster yesterday and they said to keep checking as new allocations do get released from time to time. I think it might be the same thing as the ANZAC day seats...

 

[Tassieboy]

Yeah, I can't get tickets V West Coast but new ones will become available.

 

[Tassieboy]

Where do most of you guys sit at Etihad? Level 2 or 3? I don't really have much idea about Etihad.

I'm level 2, above the opposition cheer squad. High Mark membership, though.

I can get tickets in aisle 26. What's the atmosphere like on level 2? It's quite sterile at the G.

What atmosphere?

 

[pepsi]

Good atmosphere only occurs when the match is close, there are lots of good things happening, we are getting a bad run with the umpires or the game is tough. The first half at the 'G in the Essendon members area on level 1 had no atmosphere at all. Not really surprising considering how we were playing.

Does anybody know if there is an archive of every vote given in the AFL Coaches Association award?

yaco55

It'd be a great resource to have, I reckon.

It has them down the bottom, if you can be bothered going through them individually and tallying them up.
