I don't understand why some are complaining Norf are resting their players. It's quite advantageous for us too, as if we get up as we should do against a second string Norf side it eliminates the possibility of us playing in Adelaide - which would have been the toughest assignment for us IMO.

Who knows, it may work against Norf too, some players can be a bit rusty after a week off and we may be able to jump them early with a fast start next week.

The only danger lies in whether Norf will attempt to antagonise us and rough us up.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but can I get in with my General Admission membership?

From the website: "To ensure entry, members without a reserved seat in their membership package are encouraged to upgrade to a reserved seat."

Is there no general admission seating at all or do I just have to get there a bit early?

 

[Reservoir tiger]

North are resting Goldstein, Cunnington, swallow, Higgins, Thompson and dal santo and a few others... 8 all up

Boomer is going to be the sub cos he didn't want to miss a game, as he is eyeing off Tucks record.

 

[Bazzar]

North are out to $7.50. That's a f%^#en disgrace and the AFL should never have let this happen.

Dont under estimate how much this train shit tomorrow will put people off as well, especially those coming from distance, 40,000 max i reckon, you'll be able to scan in provided you dont turn up at 7.50pm and even then i reckon you'll have no probs.

The sooner these Scott w***ers are sacked and never seen or heard from again the better.

 

[Tiger23]

Why dont the afl scrap the mid Season bye and make it for round 23?
Then no1 has an excuse ? Every Team can rest there players for the finals.

 

[Michaels]

Don't blame them one bit.

yep especially from a $$$ point of view as well. robbing them of making $$ at a sold out adelaide oval.

All you want is a level playing field. If the Crows genuinely deserve to finish 5th or 6th and we had to play them there, I wouldn't bat an eyelid. I'm glad it's not us who are doing this. I'd be disappointed.

 

[banana_bus]

Send in Matty Arnot this week to teach those soft ***** a lesson.

 

[Cutty]

If we rest players too the betting companies could get a cast iron pineapple enema...



Wouldn't shed a tear about that tbh

 

[jc12]

We better win then

 

[Stigmata]

Love the idea of Arnot and Matt Dea coming in to crunch a few guys

Recon Newy will rest

Maybe jack lids Maric rance

No more than 5

I'd actually prefer to see a 24-25 round season but players are only allowed to play 22 games a year, this way it forces player management without missing out on games during the year and the crap bye weeks. Only thing it would mess up is players who are on a run of most consecutive games.
Player management is a pretty critical component of most other sports, so not sure why clubs are having to throw games by resting a bunch of players in one go.

 

[SumTingWong]

I hope we smack em. Winning form is good form.

 

[sethlad]

Hope most Tiges fans dont bother,so sick of our club pumping up the numbers of these minnow clubs.
Let them play in front of their regular 15k crowd

seth

Boomer doesn't want to miss the match payments either.

 

[Put a Lids on it]

We'll smash these minnows then cheer on the suns.

It's our home game

Why are we playing a home game at norfs home ground?

seth

 

[RunningBounce]

Why are we playing a home game at norfs home ground?

seth

Fair question, seth. Not sure I've heard a great answer

 

[Stigmata]

Yep it's a mystery

Shrouded in an enigma

 

[tigerdan]

Why are we playing a home game at norfs home ground?

seth

Because the pin dicked dweebs at Carlton and essendon convinced the league to let them play some home games at the G. So we get the shit deal again.

It's just like the old home games at princes Park deal in the 90s.

Fairly confident we won't get ****ed over like this next year. And if we do have to eat a shit sandwich and play a home game at that crappy stadium it will be against gws or the suns. Most likely the bummers and Carlton get banished there for all their home games next year though.
