Will be a tough game. We will have to match them early because they will be pumped. If their system fails them their players will fold and their system fails them a fair bit.

Bucks may have learnt from the last quarter last time we played them. Set an extra player or two behind the ball. Dont be too fussed about losing clearences or giving up ground. Just make sure we dont score when we lock it in our half for huge slabs of time. By the last quarter things should take care of themselves for the pies.

The question is can they stop us from scoring when we lock it in our half. They are not Sydney, Hawthorn or a drugged fueled Essendon* in this area. If we are switched on we may find scoring a little easier than the past month and with luck we may break the game open.

Same here. And apparently they can't process the one transaction for two member upgrade tickets if they aren't in the same row. :screwy:

Looks like I'm finding an AFL members ticket ...

Sad thing is, there probably wont be more then 75,000-80 000 at the ground, and 20 000 unoccupied seats.

Yep, especially if the weather is shitty and people decide not to go despite having a ticket.

Keep trying, some tickets go to back into the system. Over the weekend i looked for tickets, could only get level 3 in the Ponsford and Southern stand. A few days ago there were seats in the Olympic stand on the bottom level available.
Good luck.

I actually disagree with that totally. I think wet conditions would be a huge advantage for us due to us playing in those conditions the week before.
There won't be any requirement for players to understand what is required. It took two quarters last week for it to sink in but once it did we did ok.

In that case I look forward to Yarran running down the wing bouncing the footy and kicking it to Jeff who gathers it one hand, spins on one foot and has a running bounce before slotting one from a tight angle.

Ain't gunna happen in the wet. Sorry. No matter how much practice they had last week.

Let me know if you're still struggling. I may have two seats (together) I can forward to you. Bay Q18 I believe.

I just checked ticketek and you can get 2 tickets together but they are restricted view.

Thanks for the update.

It's offering me Area: Ponsford Stand Category: Restricted View Section: N29-R...anyone sat near here before?

I'm hoping to take my 9 year old to his first night game but I'd like him to be able to see the game.....

Restricted seats arent that bad, usually you cant see some parts of the ground around the boundary line.
N29 is level 2 so that is usually a really good view, maybe a pole in the way.
Just a warning, the Ponsford stand will be full of Collingwood members.
