Haven’t been to a game at Marvel/Etihad for ages
Even though it’s Roughs last game tipping I could just turn up and get a GA ticket pretty easily ?

FF. Bruest. Roughy. Poppy
HF Lewis. Wingard. Nash

 

[TylerDurden]

Didn't BUPA report say Lewis in serious doubt?

 

[Carl Spackler]

Didn't BUPA report say Lewis in serious doubt?

- Gunston pulled up well. "reasonable chance to play"
- Lewis will have to prove his fitness. "pulled up sore. Will be monitored during the week and a test to play."
- Birchall unlikely to be seen again this regular season.

Gunners or TOB

This is our home game so guaranteed a GA entry ticket, just need to scan the membership barcode.

Also they have this $15 GA ticket as well.

Actually there is no guaranteed entry scanning your card at the gate. If the ground is full you don't get in.

The only guaranteed entry is for reserved seat members who download their free reserved seat ticket by 5pm Friday and those who pay for a reserved seat upgrade or pre buy a GA ticket.

Hodge's last game was full from memory but that was against Bulldogs who also had retirements and on Friday night. Not sure late Sunday against Suns would sell out.

Zero chance of it being a sellout. Predict 30k max

Where'd you find that ad on facebook?

I think it's pop up on my Facebook feed because I "Like" the HFC Facebook page.

Also give rough a license to block in the f50. It’d be a brave umpire to free kick him more than twice.

Lets face it thats what big rough has been mainly doing in the VFL

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Nash out for Roughie.

Not sure if Gunston has been training or if he's over his complaint, if so, then I wonder who makes way? Hanrahan? O'Brien? Lewis?

I'd be reluctant to drop O'Brien now given he's in good form. I feel that it's important for him to keep this form up as it would be good for his development (never ever thought I'd be saying that).

From CHB? Tough gig.
Nash played his best game, he'll stay.

 

[hawkermitch]

Roughy playing his final senior game on Sunday late afternoon.
I can't really see more than 30-35k people attend.
The timeslot and venue are issues for many.
Interestingly hawks haven't played the Suns this year, the fixture needs to get these games against once a year opponents earlier in the year.
It's the last Melbourne game and hopefully past players and others can watch.

Selection will be interesting as it will be at Marvel on a hard track so only fit players should play.
Gunners probably would like to play but as he was a late out with a tight hammy that is a concern.
The main positive is it is expected to rain so playing indoors helps getting from the train to the ground may get some folk wet
depending on the rain.
I'd play CJ too as his family went to Canberra in poor conditions be nice to see the kid in perfect conditions.

Good luck to Roughy and the team I and hopefully a decent crowd turn up at Marvel on Sunday.

If General Admin, whereabouts do you sit?

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Hopefully clarko clears the forward line out and allows rough to kick a bag.
2 reasons;
1: he's never kicked 10
2: he's 8 behind Franklin in goal kicking (hawthorn only)

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Any chance Ross gets a game?

 

[Kuuz]

Would love to see Walker get a run. Just rest Poppy for a week - he's been a warrior all year, no harm in giving him a rest.

Pick your seat

Seems that way!

Probably all of level 3, may also be a fair bit of level 1 depending on uptake from reserved seat members who can book a seat for free.

 

[Pessimistic]

Standing room level 1

 

[badgrill]

Same. Still managed to get Level 1 Row B, though.

Which end is the cheersquad and/or players race, anyone know?
