A friend of a friend gave me a ticket to the members.
The usher downstairs said theres no seats left in the upper
deck luv.
I said , dont worry, a friend is saving me one (they weren't).
A stranger group said ‘hey, we have one spare seat.’
Sat next to a young AFLW player.
The support posts are really annoying. The barman had
never heard of a drink called ‘lemon, lime and bitters.’
Many go there to catch up with mates in the bar area and take
occasional interest in the game.
Isaac is in great shape and form, his skills with both feet are astonishing
and he lifts the team over the line.
Havent seen much of Buller, he kicked a great set shot at the Northern end and a shocker shank at the other end, which he will baked about.
Rode my bike back to Mosman to give the ticket back.
Excellent night out for the cost of a drink (a bar lady showed him how to make it) and a $9 small bucket of chips.
North were up to steal that game, so it was good to win.

Sacrilege Dow, sacrilege LOL. Glad you said "if ever again". It's ok to be angry with one's team during a game and I was less than happy with that third quarter but seriously and as you implied.....never again.

Good win and I for one am glad. Go Swans!

I did go a little overboard lol I was a few drinks down at that stage. I probably should not drink and text

I thought that was the point of RWO

Yes, I feel as though some of my best work has been done while pissed. If only I could remember what it was.

Not the prettiest game, but I thought it was a reasonably solid win in the end. I greatly enjoyed the Brody and Isaac show, which according to one report was the only thing that the game had going for it.

Last week we had the sublime tap to Errol for a goal, this week a longer effort straight to Heeney for the snap and goal, equally as good from where I was sitting.

Aside from that I thought everyone contributed and no one played badly. Just a few wasted entries inside 50 from poor kicking to targets.

On that Bueller missed shot at goal.Noticed he went through a routine when he kicked those 2 goals. When he kicked it out of bounds, there was no pre-kick routine.

I think the commentators stated a free kick was awarded against Gulden for umpire dissent.

Anyone got information on whether that was correct?

Video would indicate so. Audio confirms it was for "abuse", and then near the end of the clip one of the umpires says "Errol".

Coaches votes in. A perfect 10 for Heeney as expected.

Heeney 10
Grundy 8
Chad 6
Simpkin 3
Blakey 3

Thought Blakey was solid, but would have thrown Wicks a vote myself.

And Grundy has gone past Gawn, to be the highest polling ruckman. Which possibly means that he's firming for All Australian selection.

Wicks an outside chance for All Australian as a small defender? He seems to have had the better of the majority of his opponents. Although, I think there's a tendency, to reward the sort of small defenders who rack up a heap of fantasy points when rebounding.

What was with the Jumper and the logo, is that new ?

Looked like a brand new Jumper where the protective paper wasn't torn off
