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

 

[sideswipe]

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

 

[OniAu]

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....

did you walk to school barefoot in the snow?, if not, not old enough or didnt live in the snowfields

Walked barefoot through the snow, uphill each way, kicking snakes out of the way. Had to carry the horse as we couldn't afford horeshoes!

But you tell the young kids of today and they don't believe ya!!

Hah, my dad used to say he had to walk barefoot through the frost, break the ice in the dam to get water for the cows.
Stand in fresh cowpats to get his feet warm then go water and milk the cows before walking 10 miles to school.

 

[Pistol Night]

rose-colored glasses. You are making it sound like growing up in an episode of The Sullivans would be preferable to today.

And you are embellishing the job market. Today's has never been better. Although that might be about to change.

Rather grow up in The Sullivans than modern day Home And Away. campaigners die every 5 minutes in Summer Bay

The dickheads never seem to realise they are only a 5 minute walk from the Surf Club to the awesome houses in Palmy.

Can't be as bad as Midsomer Murders.

I got my first job at 11. Slicing bread in the bakery across the road at 5am every morning for $5 a day/6 days a week. Kids these days would call it abuse to even wake the darlings at 5am. I tell my boys stories like this now and they both break out the “BACK IN MY DAY..” piss take of me the disrespectful little arseholes

My brother went to Malmsbury I think. He was crazy till he turned about 19 and then went on the straight and narrow. I don't think he handled the racism of the time very well when he was younger.

I actually did the milk run when I was a kid. We used to sit on the back of the truck with our legs outside and he would pull up to house and I would grab the milk bottles and run to the front door and leave the milk.
