So… has anyone else heard the bloody awful MacDonalds Happy Meal advertisement every 3 minutes on SEN? I swear “Chris Fagan” says his grandson didn’t get a Brisbane Bear clip... What the f@ck is that about?!?

I don't listen to commercial radio unless it can't be avoided for basically this reason

Sounds like a perfectly good reason to switch to ABC for my footy commentary!

Yeah I always go for the ABC coverage when I'm on the move.

I'll note that the ABC listen app is way more reliable than getting any of the radio stations via the AFL app

Hey, anyone know when the Brisbane Bears Clash guernseys will be in the lions shop?

I heard this ad the other night when listening to all the Carlton fans call in after their loss to the Tigers. It doesn’t even sound like Chris Fagan.

Do you think Alistair Lynch just gets roped into stuff cause he’s generally the only ex-Lion hanging around the Gabba on game day?

I think one of the hosts mentioned on the Fox Footy broadcast of the game that a former Lions player was late getting to the game from the airport so they had to get Lynch to do it?

Yep Chris Johnson was meant to do the jumper presentation but his flight was late

Cheers

Not really impressed with the club sending this type of email to members.
There is way too much betting advertising in the media. I assume they only sent it to over 18's, but did they?
You would have done your money on that "exclusive offer" bet.

Others and I got an email about membership packs arriving that we were not entitled to receive having a green membership.
The pack did arrive so i got the pack (useless) and the extra $10 voucher that i had already used.

So, their email targeting to the correct people is not first class

The proliferation of gambling advertisements is a pox on this nation.

Worldwide phenomenon.

Bitcoin ,stock markets , online games/poker are just gambles, younger generation is embracing it. Virtual Gaming World pays amazing dividends to anyone lucky enough to be invested in it.

Only going to get bigger sadly.

A crowd of 23,000 spills out onto Hobart's streets. Here's what happens next

Macquarie Point is hemmed in by a highway, a working port, heritage buildings and a knoll, with just enough space for a stadium. The Planning Commission has laid bare the problems.

Regardless of how critical the TPC panel will be, the parliament still has the final say on the stadium.

If Labor supports it, the government only needs to convince one or two upper house independents.

But without Labor's support, the stadium will be doomed.

Hobart has problems like Brisbane due to the large Brisbane and Derwent Rivers. Hobart is also hemmed in by hills. Good luck getting people in an out.

As an aside, Geelong is slightly bigger than Hobart, which surprised me.

Probably need to develop something better than the bus system. Even at the current city size car based travel isnt sustainable.
