Not sure what you mean. The Lions only found out their men's team was in the gf yesterday. Or should the women's entire round be announced with a week's notice to cater to two clubs?

We played the Hawks at punt road in 22 and it was a sell out. Who cares?
It was a sell-out but at a ground with a capacity of just 2.8k. I was almost burned that day, just happening to read mid-afternoon that tickets were almost exhausted and managing to get one just in time. Because of that I've just checked the WO capacity and am happy to read it is 10k. So there should be no repeat of that panic.

I'm sure it will get a bigger crowd that it would were the men's team not also in town for a fairly big game, but I'll be surprised if the crowd comes close to what we get at Henson. There were 5.5k there this afternoon, which is fairly typical. Not just a derby-inflated crowd. We won't know what the crowd would be at a fictitious Swans Lions game in Melbourne. I'm happy not to ever find out.
 
I was aware that I was being dismissive and condescending of the AFLW. Suggesting a way to get a big crowd and great atmosphere to a AFLW game is part of my master plan.

Amazing mate, don't waste all your good stuff here, go straight to the AFL with your CV.

Yeah I was pretty flat that I couldn't get in.

Yeah Henson was brilliant today, surprised to hear it was only 5.5k, that hill looked packed (we were sat the other side in the shade as we brought our little one). With the increase in games there I wonder if they'll look to improve facilities to hopefully spur on even bigger crowds.

valid reason why cats ran out steam.

I loved this part - As much as Scott was at pains to avoid making excuses on Saturday night, the Cats were dealt a bad hand this week.
Since when has Chris Scott NOT been at pains to make excuses? He's the whiniest coach in the game, there's ALWAYS excuses with him.

They had a bad case of the flu leading into the ‘21 preliminary final as well. He’s lost 6 prelims now but I can’t recall the reasons for all those losses.

Not sure why he goes down the excuse path. He did a great job to get to another preliminary final with a list that’s turning over due to retiring stars.

He said don't use this as an excuse, then told us all the excuse, may as well have winked

Did you hear the part where he began the presser by announcing how self-aware he is, and somebody who is so self-aware will know that he is at his worst so therefore will say less?

He’s an excellent coach and overachieves with his list most years.

But his head is so far up his own arse that he’s dribbling shit.

Nah Daicos won't get enough votes, they won't win enough games. He'll get 1 at most against the dogs, they didn't beat Freo or the Bombers, and pendles was good in other games.

It's not good value in any shape.

Cripps is the good money if you want it.

Haha, you again 😂

Happy to have a quiet side bet with you on who polls more out of Daicos & Cripps 🤑

Credit where it's due you PMed me last night to remind me of this lol.
 
No I didn’t 🤦‍♂️ … was too busy looking for your initial tip from Freo, but couldn’t find him in the list? 🤷‍♂️😉

Yeah I thought he was young enough to be nominated but was corrected.
 
Friends of mine only got standing tickets and are worried their 2 young boys might need to rest their legs at times. Anyone know if a folding stool such as the one pictured here would be allowed? Screenshot_20240924_151550_Chrome.jpg
