General Bombers Talk Questions and discussions that don't warrant a thread

When are tickets for the Collingwood game likely to go on sale? I'd love to get a ticket so don't want to miss out!

Not until the fixture for Round 23 is actually released. At the earliest.

So hopefully in the next week or so,they seem to be leaving it as late as possible.

Would it normally be released by now?

 

[Tassieboy]

The crowd doesn't usually exceed 70k so I'm sure tickets will be widely available.

I think it's going to be released after this round.

 

[The Prosecutor]

I think it's going to be released after this round.

I'm pretty sure I read on the AFL twitter page it would be after Round 19 in all likelihood.

EDIT:

I keep seeing people write 'TRB' in their posts, I think referring to Hird? but I'm not sure. What does it stand for?

The Royal Box (Hird, Bomber etc)

Hi guys, having an issue with a bomber mate and i couldn't answer her question so i thought id ask here.

She is attending the Tigers v Bombers match in two weeks, with her friends. She has a bomber home and away membership and they are all Richmond members. The Richmond girls were going to arrive early and just scan in and find some seats, and she was going to join them a bit later. She can just scan her membership and go sit with them right?

Didn't want to give her wrong info, and i wasn't entirely sure myself.

Yes, as long as they're sitting in general admission it should be fine.

I've managed to get "Premiership Club" tickets for the Carlton game.

I was wondering what the dress code is and if food and beverages are included?

Its great to say Zaharakis back in the team this weekend, it is about bloody time. I cant wait to see him line up against the Blues on the weekend. GO THE BOMBERS!!!!

Continuing the Grand Final documentaries they did last year (for 1971, 81, 91, 2001), this year they're releasing four more, including the 1984 Premiership.

As somebody that, to be honest, doesn't normally care much for going over past players/eras, I'm really excited about this.

Great documentaries, and it should provide a great insight into what life was like back then for Essendon and its supporters.

What date is the National Draft set down for this year - I can't find listed on afl.com.au or when I googled it.

I guess this goes here...
Found an interesting picture from August last year:

Who would've thought they'd be on the same AFL team 3 months later.

Hey folks.

Planned a trip to melbourne for these october holidays, and the wife (who isnt a football fan at all) said "why not make it when the grand final is on"

We aren't going over for it per se, but since we are over there, would love to be able to go. Whats the best way of securing tickets? Am i best off just finding members of teams that make it, or are there other avenues? Flights and accom are already ooked, so a package isnt really an option.

Cheers.

Just saw on Essendon Facebook.

A few of the boys went to their first baseball game in San Diego to watch the Padres play the Colarado Rockies at Petco Park.

A stray foul ball ended up in the stands, and in the hands of some very happy holidaying Bomber players.

Good to see the boys enjoying their break before a big 2013 pre-season!

 

[yaco55]

I thought the Bombers sent out a press release, saying that their holidays had been cancelled.

No that was just their trip to Las Vegas. They changed locations is all.

Totally unnecessary press release.

No point at all.
