I hope there's no real issue there. We certainly want him back for next week, and beyond.

Correct, our fitness guy was named Sheamus Davoren.Apparently, our superior fitness advantage is what helped us run over the top of them.
You were there. Wouldn't happen to know if their fitness guru is still kicking around...?

A business lady. Was she doing a business degree?

Does it cost extra to get a seat in the grandstand? I'm pretty tempted by the steam to be honest

WTF?
They charge you extra to sit in a stand, at a VFL home and away game?
What is this s**t?
No way I'm paying an extra cent, I'll be near the Pies bench as always.

It's the most recent pricing information I could find, which admittedly is from late last year. I will stand to be corrected, but it is my understanding that they still charge extra to sit in the EJ Whitten Stand.
Of course, you would be nowhere else but the benches anyway. It's where Dave does his best work...

Are you referring to watching your sister at Men's Gallery?

Update to this, I've gone and asked over on the Bullies' board and apparently they don't charge extra for the grandstand this year after all. OP updated.
Still won't shift the Matt and Dave Show from benchside, but why would the main attraction be forced to move anyway...?
Tell that to the Yarra City Council...Still won't shift the Matt and Dave Show from benchside, but why would the main attraction be forced to move anyway...?

I did. They haven't gotten back to me.
My email was important to them, the robot tells me, so that's something...

Wagner outlining the finals venue situation from 7:11 in this week's Lulie Street. We applied for one two months ago, yet apparently that wasn't enough notice...

Confirmed we're playing our home final at Princes Park on Saturday September 3rd at 2pm.
I wonder what Councils decision making timeframes are for that application? It could be we put the application in too late.

Surely 2 1/2 months is ample time, but yes according to the council one of the reasons was 'insufficient notice'...

I just took MagpieBats comment on face value that they were given a month. 20 business days isn't actually a lot of time to assess an application, depending on the complexity of the application, work loads etc. If it's a controversial decision that adds extra complexities. 50 business days (2.5 months) should be plenty though. Although this decision, in this particular circumstance, appears politically motivated to avoid any bad blood with constituents prior to a council election.
My question was more aimed at understanding if there is something the club can do better to take away any excuses Council may have to decide against playing games there. If one of those is insufficient time, make sure that we manage it well in advance, engage with Council early, get the application in early. One less excuse.
