      It's not the best situation but we just have to suck it up and get on with the business.

        75 bucks for our usual seats at ANZ - thanks AFL. That's the sort of pricing that's gonna convince the masses to fill the stadium.....

          If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

              Was a memorable day for the wrong reasons too.

                I don't go with this 'disadvantage' theory. The three teams we lost to this year at Homebush were the top three sides. Geelong and Collingwood we haven't been able to beat anywhere of late, and honourable losses have been the order of the day against St Kilda of late. Two further losses at Homebush last year were also against the Pies and the Cats. More is being read into the venue being the factor than the actual opposition.

                I don't care where we play Carlton. We match pretty well on these blokes.

                As for the dismal crowd v North a few seasons back, I'm yet to be convinced that this wasn't merely an aberration.

                  Look at this way. Where do we play our best footy? The answer should provide whether there is a disadvantage or not.

                        Didn't think I'd get that. In 2005 I was doing year eleven, and this is what I remember.

                          I can remember games 15- 20 years ago but can forget my families birthdays. It's all about priorities really.

                            I couldn't agree more. It's not the stadium that doesn't suit us, it's the opponents we've played there of late. A match against Carlton, who we have a pretty good recent record against, during the day, hopefully on a dry track, should suit us pretty well.

                            I agree on the ticket prices too. $75 is a joke. The only thumbs up the AFL can have is the kids price of $20 was very reasonable I thought.
