AFL MEMO - AFL Executive Salary increase!!! He can now buy Transylvania.

Gee, a $30m windfall is not a bad reason for a salary increase.

Except it had nothing to do with their own talent.

Since when have businesses taken that into account. $30m is $30m any day of the week.

Did she get to go. We are all wondering ??????

Does she still want to go ???????

NO! She watched very stoically from home with hardly any blaspheming. I was very proud.

But is still very keen to try again this week if anyone thinks they can help!!

I'm going down to Melbourne this week for the World Cycling Championships in Geelong. If public tickets become available as indicated on Ticketek, I will try to get myself a ticket. I'd be surprised if the attendance was as high as last Saturday's game. For many people it will be outside of their planned budget and, if they're coming from interstate it makes it prohibitively expensive.

There are a lot of colliwobble supporters out there with a lot of dole money.

Centerlink can give an advance payment once every six months. Maybe some didn't blow it on last week

Got a ticket today through family members Saints membership. Can't wait!

I'm a replay fan, (would have given anything to get a 2nd crack in 06), but I do accept the argument relating to interstate clubs etc.

No public tickets will go on sale now.

All 40,000 member tickets were sold by 2pm today. Guaranteed members had too midday, and the rest had from 1pm.

The AFL are going to be giving away some freebies to disadvantaged members, god knows how the hell they work that out?? (Probably means more pies fans though haha)

In praise of RWO...

5 years ago, the fabulous Frog of RWO fame helped me to get to the 2005 GF for one of the great sporting days of my life.

This year, another RWOer (who I'll leave anonymous given the paranoid would have us believe the AFL are monitoring these fora) has helped me get my missus to see her beloved Pies get over the line. She's been smiling ever since and I'm seriously in the good books.

This member, who has never "met" me beyond these pages, went out of his way to queue up to buy the ticket, express mail it to her in Melbourne, and provide detailed instructions on how to get in - the seat itself was in the front row on the wing - seat 1A on the GF bandwagon!

Thus, this marvelous forum, and all its virtual mates, has provided our family with two glorious memories - and all based on nothing more than a great sense of community.

To Scott and all the behind-the-scenes geniuses, thanks for making it all possible!

CHEER CHEER RWO!!!!

[ScottH]

Not sure how, but glad I was able to satisfy your missus!!
Good on the RWO for helping!!
