Flying over for the game, first time to metricon

Easiest way from Coolangatta airport to metricon without costing an arm and a leg?

Also any good spots/pubs near the ground for after the game?

Cheers

I’m afraid Metricon is kind of in no mans land, there is a golf course over the road with a pub but I highly suggest you get the free bus to Broadbeach post match

Also if you Uber to South Broadbeach tram station you can get the free bus to the game saving some $$$

Enjoy

If you’ve got the time for public transport.. there is the double decker bus. That stops where you can get the footy shuttle from.

As someone who travels for games regularly..

This year I have been flying in on the morning of the game get the 777 bus from airport terminal tell the bus driver you’re going to the game so free travel on game day. Get off at Broadbeach south then get the free Metricon bus to the game and back afterward and then 777 back to the airport for free after the game from Broadbeach south

Wow, look out Bendigo

Well all the toy model and EB games shops anyway

Ohh and the chemist might want to stock up on asthma sprays, and echma cream
 
This is completely off topic but hoping someone can answer my query.

Todays early game between Bulldogs and Giants, they're using a yellow Sherrin, and the game 20mins later between Nth and Adel has a red Sherrin.

Can someone explain the reasoning for using the different coloured Sherrins.

I wanted to watch the Nth game on TV but find it terribly difficult to locate the red Sherrin when it's a long shot....closeups are not a problem.

So have switched to the Giants game cause it's easier on the eyes, and a much better viewing experience.

I believe it's pretty simple.
day - red
lights on at night or under roof - yellow

I especially love the Collingwood, Essendon, Carlton and Richmond ********s who walk around with a superior grin for no other reason than selecting a set of team colours. It’s not as if they played in any games w:anchor:s
 
Great to see Gary Ablett junior wearing a half Suns half cats scarf when he receives life membership to the club, can’t wait for him to wear the same scarf when he receives Geelong life membership, somehow I won’t hold my breath waiting for it to happen.

Don’t get me wrong Gary is first rate human being, the club was good enough to organise him to do a Video message for my wife’s 40th birthday something that he had no need to do but did because of the person he is. But it just is grating that they would allow him to do this when there’s no chance in hell it would happen the other way
 
This is what is now called "journalism"..........no comments from anyone in Authority, just pure speculation, and the fact I need to write something to keep my job....
