Game Day AFL Rd 1 - Collingwood v NM - Matchday and Post Match Discussion

[boxy99]

Really need to start the season well! Can't afford to loose this one with the competition so close this year!

Can't say I'm confident about this one though!

Cmon Pies, start the season well, please.

Got my Jumper on already. Which is no big deal but I'm in a house full of crow supporters. Can wait for the game. Go Pies

Where is everyone sitting??

At home. Etihad can go and get stuffed after what happened last year. That place is a ticketing calamity.

Can you watch it at a pub?

Or pay $5 to watch it on a mobile device?

Is there an android app to watch it on?

 

[Quicky]

Some bloke was just on SEN, and he said that Dayne Beams will not be playing today, now I know it's most likely a heap of crap, but has anybody else heard this rumor?

Nah, nobody has said anything about this. It's almost certainly bogus. He's been training well and has done all of preseason.

PUMPED!

First thing that popped into my mind this morning when I woke up..... "Footy, Pies game, oh yes!"

Same here. Really looking forward to it.

 

[Adz]

Level 1, aisle 4.

Not sure but I do know he had gastro last week, but I doubt it would still be effecting him. Unless he is very sick.

I was thinking of just heading in with my H&A membership card and finding a spot in GA. There should be plenty of spots for the earlybirds, right?

You can watch the games through the official AFL app (I have the Apple one, surely there's an Android one too?).

I think it's only available to Telstra subscribers. You pay a game/month/annual subscription. And you have to turn your wifi off and watch it over 3G/4G - but it's unmetered (over Telstra) so you don't pay bandwidth costs.

You can also watch replays on it, but recommend you use Magpie Central for that

Gastro lasts for 2-3 days. If he is still sick with Gastro symptoms there is something seriously wrong.

Is there an option to just pay for 1 game? I had a bit of a look on the app but could only find a month and annual subscription.

Hmmm. I watched a few games last year for $5 a game, not sure if it's still available?

Jump onto the app at 1:10 and pretend to want to watch the Melbourne v Port game, and see if it gives you the $5 game option.

Sorry, i'm a Vodafone customer.

If you weren't a complete stranger, I'd tell you to come around to my place to watch it. But...you know.

Was wondering about this too. Got a mate using my 18 Game GA membership today (i'm lucky enough to be in a corporate box today) tried upgrading to a ticket for him but $47 is the minimum! Ticketmaster says GA is sold out, but don't they normally hold over some tickets for scanning in?

Etihad is a nightmare for GA.

A very good article, agree with his assessment.

(But don't bother reading it if you only like happy stories about Collingwood)

The countdown is about to tick under 4 hours, it's getting close now.
