Got caught up in Hurricane Sandy in NYC back in 2012. Spent most the night at the bar opposite our Hotel in Brooklyn. Got kinda unlucky and lucky with staying in Brooklyn rather than Manhattan. Lucky that lower Manhattan below 34th st had no power for 5 days after. But unlucky that the subways...

That's because the Santa Monica light rail line only opened 10 years ago.

And that is what the article mentions. It even says it is the 3rd case in as many months where the media can't name the offender.

How's that work. 0.77% is only 77c in every $100. You can't tap and go that amount of money to get to those fees.

It's the courts who have blocked the media from naming the person. It could be simply to protect the victim.

The Herald Sun reports the incident happened in the Geelong area. The Keighton incident from last year happened in Melbourne.

I find the fact that the cheapest ticket that was available to the Collingwood v Carlton game started at $59 to be a bigger issue than paying to watch on TV.

Another one not keeping up with the news.

Haven't obviously been keeping up with the news. Foxtel are broke and have been sold. This is the cost cutting measures taking place until the new owners come in and decide if anything can be done to salvage it.

Latrobe Uni did this with the solar panels they set up. But the plan is to to replant trees 3:1 in a different area.

It's the market around them that dictates the price. I'm lucky as I have a cheap Apco that usually don't raise by anymore than 30 cents. They also hold for nearly 2 weeks on the upward cycle. It also keeps the other Servos close by prices down.

Why? Other players who buy drugs and fail doping tests get zero weeks suspension.

The MCG was the same up until the early 90's and most other grounds. They were curved like that to help drainage until they came up with modern systems.

The best bit about it all is how easy it will be to get a ticket seeing as not many so called NFL fans will be going.

No it ain't. The Shane Warne Stand stands up pretty well for 30 plus years old. Accor on the other hand and I have been there about 7 times looks and feels like it was built in the 70's and is pretty barebones like Waverly Park. If you replaced all the bucket seating with wooden benches I don't...

He was what 31? He was trying to extend his career that was almost over. I doubt there are any 30 plus year old punters heading to the NFL these days.

Everyone of these blokes have realised they ain't gonna make it to the AFL so take there one great asset and apply it somewhere else. The AFL isn't losing top end talent to the NFL.

From what is being suggested I'm not sure Geelong offers anything better. The stats will tell you it is a bigger problem down there than in Melbourne.

I've learnt more than that in this thread.

May as well go to the US to watch a game unless you were already heading to Ireland.

The game in Berlin will be played with a running track around it. Running tracks are longer than the MCG by about 10- 15 metres. The MCG had to remove about the first 6 rows of the Southern Stand to fit the running track in for the Commonwealth Games.

Why would all the tickets end up in the hands of people who have no interest in the game? I can tell you some of the top sporting events I have attended have been American Football games both NFL and college.

The difference was they were looking at 6 -8 weeks mid season with no access to the MCG.

NFL announced today that they want it week 1.

So what have you been watching on TV. What happens at the stadium is happening on TV if you are watching it live. Never mind that the play clock is 40 seconds not 120 seconds.

From what I heard. The so called victim is a salesman and sold a product to a so called AFL player who wasn't happy with the product. The altercation occurred after they bumped into each other again.

But as he is no longer involved with a AFL club or the AFL it really isn't the AFL's business now.

He's already far exceeded anything Schache done in his career.

Does it really matter now as it's the same result. Do the AFL know the truth? Probably. If it was his wife then the AFL couldn't really act on that anyway. If it was him you probably let him stand down and let him and his family deal with the fallout themselves. Do the AFL really need to help...

The Herald Sun have dropped more than a few hints.
