Got some tickets in section 207 around mid field.

 

[Section 5]

Last year we belted Melbourne in centre clearances 20-6 (IIRC we won something like the first 12) and broke even around the ground

Gawn rolled his ankle early in that game. He battled on for the day and only played 67 % TOG.
It was a genuine injury as he missed the following weeks game.
Gawn only had 7 possessions that day but still managed 25 hit outs
Martin had 33 hit outs 21 possessions 4 marks & 4 tackles
For us Oscar got concussion late in the second quarter and did not return
.......
Gawns average this year................................ 19 disposals 6 marks 3 tackles & 29 hitouts
Adding Ocsar + Martin together their average is 13 disposals 2 marks 5 tackles & 34 hitouts
They get the use of another midfielder
.......
I think Oscar will take most center bounces and the forward line.
Stef to do boundary, defense and some center bounces

That's right. Was bloody handy having Gawn out

Got our tickets and snagged a $10 parking voucher for the blue car park. No idea what that actually is but sounded like a bargain that allows us to skip the bus connection from the train station. Anyone ever parked there before?

Took the same deal. I parked there for a pre-season game this year and thought it was a bargain this time around. Tickets are for the opposite side to the broadcast view, near the open end of the ground - forward flank/pocket.

The ”official” preview is up. My first preview. Treat me gently.

Melbourne versus the Brisbane Lions 6.10pm EST Sunday 26 July. Metricon Stadium Setting the Scene..... This match could be billed as the battle of the teams with lots to prove. Are either the Demons or the Lions the real deal? The Demons had a great 2018. Considered by some to be flag...
