Mark Stevens just tweeted that the AFL are strongly considering having Pies vs Eagles at Etihad. Wonder if that also means they consider having that game in another timeslot also, given the alternative of Blues/Bombers?

McGuire would not allow it to happen :smile:

Eagles will be half a chance if that happens......

We might not get to see the boys smash the Eagles over here as planned! :eek:

Dont mind that.

Driving over with the family from Adelaide on Friday and we've booked the whole weekend away a few weeks ago in advance without knowing when or where we might be.

Couldn't stomach the rest of the weekend, or be arsed going to another game, if we went down early doors!

@#$%&! yeah!!!!!!!

My selfish mate (also a Carlton "supporter") has decided to get married on Saturday the 10th in Byron Bay, so any Saturday game would be a disaster for me - day or night.....

Now I can sleep well in the knowledge that I can kick back with a hangover on the Sunday in paradise and watch the beauty unfold!!

Thanks Demitrispew!!!!

Being a Sunday means I will stew over it all weekend, and most likely have a shocking hangover at work on Monday regardless of the result.

Less than ideal if we're heading to Perth the week after.

Absolutely! A six day break heading into a Perth game is a disaster. Horrible scheduling from the league. No reason we couldn't have had the Saturday night game v Essendon*

That would have meant the Swans Saints game needed to be played Saturday as well so Pies West Coast Sunday, giving WC the 6 day break going back home...also unfair.

As I understand it TV also have a fair say in scheduling too.

Here's one of the reasons why I have zero love for Essendon* and never will and hope we smash them to bits in the finals.

Don't worry, the Karma Train is fast heading towards Dean Wallis as we speak! :lol:

All aboard!!! :thumbsup:

You might say the Karma train already did catch Dean Wallis...

Offsetting the possible 6 day break (assuming we win) is the fact that we’re coming off a bye this week.

Ha - he's likely to be suspended by the AFL now. Tosser.

I barely remember the hit on Mil, but the whole footy community remembers the 99 prelim and Wallis' part.

Bombers supporters still rate the '99 loss as a bigger deal than the '93 win.

Oh, and Dean, can you just leave your AFL pass with the receptionist on your way out of footy forever.?

Cheers, thanks, great, take care, all the best, bye!

Don't talk sense Brad! I'd prefer to take the opportunity to get indignant at the AFL :smile:

Coming over from Tasmania, can't wait.

Planning on going with a few Melbourne mates, but does anyone know the ticketing policy regarding how many tickets an interstate member can buy?

cheers
