I'd be happy if Asahi was on tap at AO.

 

[Expat power]

I was thinking the Bermuda Triangle, with any luck they will disappear

I'm sure I could google and find this out but I don't want to go there. Can someone tell me why they didn't just build something at West Lakes? Is it that they don't have enough space there?

Beer snob time: the Japanese imported big silver Asahi cans are heaps better than the brewed under licence Asahi clear bottles.

The Asahi dark lager in the big heavy cans are bloody good

 

[simba_]

i'm no beer connoisseur but those big imported Asahi cans were my favourite, but at the start of this year they changed the recipe. now the cans and the bottles taste the same and are brewed here. those gold Yebisu cans have taken that spot for me now, they're decent

Nah yourr thinking of Gollant who summoned peak westhoff against us that day

Exclusive - The AFL will confirm South Australia as the host of "Magic Round" on Friday. League chief executive Gillon McLachlan will make the announcement in Adelaide. Great result for SA.

I'm still waiting for this bad boy to make it here:

is coming out of retirement and will return to Essendon. The AFL has approved to revoke his retirement. New coach Brad Scott a major factor in the process for Essendon after several meetings.

Poor fella. Why would he go back to that dump.

Hey all,

does anyone know a member of our AFLW team?
Im looking to buy one of each design they wore this year.
Any help would be awesome

"Fresh vision of the incident"

Do they really think anyone bought the 'tripped over her shoelaces' story?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

"Fresh vision of the incident"

Do they really think anyone bought the 'tripped over her shoelaces' story?

Or the Crows independently changed their minds and ruled her out story.

Ironic given how often their board has been critical of Port for supposedly hiding concussions.

Free kick should have gone to Melbourne for dangerous low contact / taking the legs out

Rewarding that kind of play will only contribute to more head injuries and possibly broken legs

The standard of umpiring in the AFLW is atrocious

I still say magic round is shit.

 

[ibd77]

7 news saying 6 games at Adelaide Oval including a double header, 2 games at suburban grounds such as Glenelg Oval & Unley Oval, 1 game at the Barossa Valley.

Seriously!!! what's the point of this???

Get the game out into the regions. Port Lincoln, Whyalla, Mount Gambier, Gawler/Barrossa, Murray Bridge or Port Augusta/Port Pirie.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

$8k per player for match payments for 23 who play and maybe $5k per player for the 2 or 3 emergencies who travel over.

In 2022 $5k was the minimum match payment for players on the main list and $4k for first year players and for rookies.

Clubs will like the $500k payment, especially if the AFL picks up the travel and accommodation costs.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

For it to be a true festival of football I am assuming the players are in town from Thursday morning to Sunday night to get the full festival vibe for fans, and have supporter and corporate functions, rather than fly in fly out the same day, or just overnight it and fly out at 8am.

 

[robbo1981]

Will we get the 500k as well?

 

[chiwigi]

I was worried only the Crows were getting my SA Tax money.

I’m relieved Collingwood and Hawthorn will too.

Not sure if any Barossa grounds would be up to AFL standard?
Nuri oval probably the closest

This.
