Yeah butcollingwood fans can't fly..in fact they can't get their knuckles off the ground

boom tish

yet strangely theyve found cave paintings of seagulls on the walls, in the homes of collingwood supporters..they seem to have an affinity with seagulls..maybe its the basic colours or something like that?

also, maybe one day therell be an AFL team called the Seagulls? (:

Can you just imagine the roar of the crowd if a flock of seagulls was in the air and a hawk just flew in from the side and took one out?

I've seen a lion come in from the side and take one out. That was pretty cool.

Perhaps a few of them roaming around the G might get rid of the seagulls. Probably take care of a few drunken louts too lol.
 
If they are hanging around on GF day, could always get Meatloaf to consume a few of them as part of the pre-match entertainment. They'd fly for the hills after that.

I :heart: seagulls
 
Little do you all know, but the MCG actually own all the seaguls. They acutally let them out to clean up all over the food after the game so they dont have to employ staff to do it. Just a money saving scheme

No, the MCC manages the trust which owns the seagulls and this gives them the right to keep 23,000 seats aside in case they decide to rock up to a game one day because their dad paid their fees for 20 years and helped build the ground and buy the seagulls and without them football or the MCG or seagulls wouldn't exist blah blah blah etc
 
This is a national disgrace, the MCG trust should be ashamed of the spectacle, it's time the AFL stepped in and took the finals off the MCG and played them out of Etihad with the roof shut.
No other sport in the world has this disgraceful infestation of 'rabbits of the sky' like AFL.
On ya bike, twerp..........never.!!!!:mad:

Yet we played an AFL Gf at Waverley in 1991, so you point is moot. Plus footy is a television game these days and the crowd tonight would fit into Etihad easily, over to you Cheif.
YES...only because the MCG was going under reconstruction, so there was no other choice, was there.
Ohhh...that's right.......you only know etihad. :D

^ I just wish they'd make some damn noise for Hawthorn.
 
They're back again, seems like its the twilight games they are attracted to, memo AFL, don't play twilight games at the 'G' play them at Docklands with the roof shut.
How embarrassing will it be when the AFL eventually play a night Grand Final only to have the spectacle ruined by the rabbits of the sky?
 
Only ground in the world I can think of where this is an issue.

And for me, it greatly ruins the spectacle.

A good way of predicting the seagulls is to the check tide predictions.
On Sunday 27th May the predicted high tide was at 1933.
When to tide is high, a lot of the seagull's natural food sources are covered by water.
They are then smart enough to realise that the big bright lights (which can be seen from all over Melbourne) means lots of food from human sources.
 
I do not see the problem..

I actually kind of like it - Short of a couple of cricket balls knocking them senseless every now and then during the summer, do they actually affect the game?

Doubt it -

It's a nice reminder that we humans can't control everything despite how very hard we try -
