Can't speccy a team mate at all on the goal line IIRC.

Could you speccy the opposition guy trying to shepherd your team mate off the fall of the ball?

That's ok as long as the player screams 'speccy' before going up so the ump can brace for impact.
I imagine that's fine, I can think of a few times where a third player has come in to spoil the ball on the goal line with no infringement. The official rules might need consultation to be sure though.

Bet you want that one back
Good to see there are some young apprentices coming through qualified to take the foot-in-mouth reigns from me in the not too distant future - [a positive dig mate

I caught the last couple of minutes of an old Power Ranger episode and for reason thought about combining players to make a MegaLion on the goal line.
Actually (although you'd think everyone would know this) it is a good point. In years gone by (before the last couple) the split round was still just 1 round. I prefer it that way, instead of playing "no-one" in a given round, the same round is played over 2 or 3 weeks. Everyone plays 22 games, there should be 22 rounds. If the bye is in the middle of the year then round 11 should be played over 2 weeks instead of 1 or 3. Just go back to a single split (in half) round.Bet you want that one back

Don't get to many games live (this will be my 4th at the Gabba plus one each at MCG and Etihad since mid season 2001 ) but one of them will be the saints game on this Sat - getting dropped off before hand and picked up afterwards - about what time should I look to get dropped off by and approx when from should they be ready for the pick up...?
Thanks

Depends on where you plan to sit assuming you've bought a ticket already or membership.Don't get to many games live (this will be my 4th at the Gabba plus one each at MCG and Etihad since mid season 2001

I have General Admission membership and like to sit right at the fence so I get there before the gates open (should be 6pm this week). If buying ticket there, half an hour early is good to give plenty of time.
If you have a reserved seat then it doesn't really matter, depending on how much warm up you want to watch.
Afterwards the traffic will be a bitch for a good while so depends where you're getting picked up but I'm never in a hurry to leave, particularly after a win. I stay and soak it up, sing the song, high five the players at the boundary etc.
While I'm here, I stuffed up my order for family tix and ticked the "collect at venue" option on ticketmaster and now can't print tickets. Anyone know if you can collect from the shop or have to wait for the windows to open at gate 2 ??

Go into the shop and they'll probably direct you to the elevator around the corner. I think they usually do all the ticket stuff upstairs on level 3 or 5 or w/e now.
EDIT: oh but this will be on gameday won't it. What time are you getting to the Gabba?
Yeah, gameday. Usually there half to an hour before gates open. I have actually purchased tix in the shop before a game, rather than wait and line up, but last time ( v. NM ) they weren't. My wife didn't want to risk GA selling out so insisted I buy her tix online. Ticketmaster sight says I have to collect from venue (I stupidly ticked that box) but I can't find anywhere that says from where exactly. I assume any ticket window but am hoping I might be able to pick up before ticket window opens.

I've never done it before myself (and regularly get to games maybe 15min before it starts). But if you're there that early your best bet is probably the shop.

What time does the game normally finish (approx)?
