    In fact, I think new at any price is stretching the friendship - at $6 it's a comedy act.

      Not going because you didnt want to pay $75 is an absurd reason when you could get perfectly good seats for $45.

        Didn't you know it Has to be a premium seat or it's just not the same, can't have them slumming it in Standard or *gasp* budget seats.

However he does say alot of things that in some instances hit a nerve with some, but in reality he is usually bang on the money (like it or not!)

              You know damned well where I was and it is well documented on here too - I dont feel guilty (nor will I be made to feel that way either) It wasnt a money issue for me, however I can understand why people thought that way - times are tough for many and they shouldn't be made to feel guilty because of the choices they have made whether to attend or not to attend a footy game.
              I had plans made before the last game of the H & A season - so I stuck to my plans, got to sit by a roaring fire enjoying 30 year old red, fine food and company - watching the game on a home theatre screen in comfort - so I reckon I did pretty well actually.

                  Face it, stay at home, turn on the plasma, or go to the pub, and you can have a coopers or boags, and save your money for the a final in Melbourne.

                  Every member survey I make the same comment. The catering sucks big time. What do they do about it. Nothing. IT'S A RIP OFF!!!! six dollars a beer.

                  See ya at the PL.

                    You see, the problem here is that my little brother this morning, got his arm caught in the microwave and uh my grandmother dropped acid and she freaked out and hi-jacked a school bus full of penguins so you see it?s kind of a family crisis so?come back later? Great.
                    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                        The lemon juice she was using slipped and fell on the floor. He loves to talk it up.

                              Mate i toddled along. In the third quarter some of the older players who may not be there next season or may not play in a finals again, Kirky, Big Beamish, Leo, Crouchy, Jude, Goodesy lifted. They played like an aging boxer fights. Like there is no tomorrow and they have to finish it now. Or never. Great to be there.

                                I've often felt a lot of our games are like Rocky movies.

                                Let them belt you around early, until they start to tire, then come out in the final round with the head bandaged up, and over run the tired, younger, and more skilled opponent.
