I think the tickets go to the clubs, and the clubs decide how to distribute (sell) them.

Remains to be seen how many will be available with the lower capacity.
Yeah this, usually they are like a grand each or something if not more.

This is correct. Each club gets 1000 tickets that go to players and sponsors or are sold as part of a breakfast package. Gold members don’t get a look in.
 


Poor koch wont be able to get to the GF. Such a shame.


Worrying about attending Port's grand final when the preliminary final is yet to be played?

That's surely a jinx
 
15 wins. good for 4th most years. 1 less win than 2016 and 3% lower. Yooue memory is polluted by watching us beat up on sh*t teams with our front running forward line.
I'm not talking about in comparison to other years. In that year we were the best team.

Since then people have tried to revise history to us being some shitty team that was never going to beat Richmond.

Bullshit. We were 7-3 against the top 8 in the 2017 H&A. We were a very good team and shit the bed in the GF

We finished the season far poorer than they did. We were AS GOOD as they were, not "far better" as you put it.

Coupled with key injuries and playing on a ground we don't play well at..... and you have the 2017 GF
 

Strong stance from a bloke who hasn’t bothered to get jabbed yet

2 other teams on 15 wins and 3 more with 1 less. People speak about it like we were the 2000 Bombers, it's totally delusional to think we were anything but one of the top few sides that was very beatable on any given day.

Pretty sure most players are waiting until their seasons are over to get vaccinated. Was in an article on The Age a week or two ago I think. That's why teams like North are so far advanced.

Brisbane finished last in 2017, 15th in 2018.

If we ignore the decade if mediocrity prior there might be a pattern!

No we weren't. That's revising history. Richmond weren't even seen as a legitimate flag threat until during the finals series. It's only now that we have the context of what they have done has Richmond's performance that year elevated to being the "best" team.

We were 7-3 against the top sides. They were 4-4.

We had a percentage 18% higher than they did and were in the top 2 all season. Richmond were in and out of the top 4 and didn't sew up their spot until the final round.

Our late season form wasn't far poorer. We lost a close one to Sydney and lost away to West Coast who both made finals. In the West Coast game because we had top spot sewn up we chose to rest Walker and Talia who had minor niggles. Prior to that we hadn't lost in 7 weeks (we did draw with Collingwood)

Richmond only played 2 finalists in their last 6 games and lost to one of them.

Commentators were literally calling us the best team all year when we made the grand final. That's the level we were at.

Yes, we totally shit the bed after that and Richmond went on to prove themselves as one of the great teams. But that year we were on fire.

They know the vaccine is likely to make them crook. People react differently. Some are bedridden for a week or more while others have little or no bad reactions. They won't risk missing a game and that is why they are waiting for the end of the season.
Well that’s pretty poor and makes a mockery of any claim of them being community leaders in this matter

I often wonder of the sliding doors phenomenon if Tigers played the Cats down at that sh*t hole in Geelong in Week 1.
I actually wonder about the rule change eliminating the 3rd man up.

I think that rule change helped Richmond alot with their gameplan. You can't surge it forward if the ball gets wacked out the back past their midfielders.

It also massively hurt Geelong who used the tactic all the time and have since suffered because their rucks aren't good enough

We used to do it a lot with Danger (before he left), Sloane, CEY, etc back in the day.
