The biggest thing will be, if the AFL and foxtel sign off on the game being available to broadcast on channel 7 with their own production.

Channel 7 would have to give something in return.

Why are people so offended by the Gold number?

It’ll be barely noticeable anyway with the way gold prints on the jumper.

Was there this much uproar when Boomer had “427” on his jumper?

Willing to bet a big fat no

No, I'm really not using rose-coloured glasses. I wouldn't trade my growing up years for what they have today.
As for the job market, try telling university academics that it's never been better.
Big tech has been sacking hundreds of people.

Uni academics!? Not many of them would have had jobs back in your wonder years. Teaching useless degrees to international students wasn’t that big a deal back in the good old days

Do they still have massive banners for 50 games? Yet a coloured number is too much for most games ever played.

I dont want to be that pies supporter. But any other club , this isnt even spoken about

Well there you go, that's one thing we can agree on.

Some of us also got 19% interest rates on our mortgages. Lots of people lost their houses during that time.
I am no doubt older than you and I can honestly say I think my generation lived in the best of times.
We grew up with freedoms that will never be seen again.

You could lock in your home rate back then. The ones that paid the high interest rates bought during the recession years. I got my loan at about 5% and locked it in. The amounts borrowed were significantly less than today also. Life was a bit simpler back then.

Kids growing up had a lot more independence. They made their own entertainment, they had to.
Most kids walked to school, if it rained we took our shoes and socks off and splashed around in the gutters as we walked home.
Did stupid things and learned from mistakes and could stay out after school as long as they were home in time for dinner.

Was easy to get jobs and if you didn't like one you could easily find another.
Most employers were happy to teach you on the job.
Obviously I don't include specialised occupations.
Only kids that went to uni were from well off families or had scholarships/burseries.

Oh Granny. You're making an old man teary reminiscing....
