Grand Final: Sydney Swans Reserves v Brisbane Lions Reserves @ SCG

[liz]

Wonder why they didn't play this game in warm sunshine at like 11.30am

Then there could have been kick to kick after the EF.

The reasons many of us didn't stick around :
Too long a wait.
Getting cold.
Wanted to go home and watch the other EF.

Would have been impossible to allow Brisbane NEAFL followers to come to the game, given that the senior game was a sell-out. Short of completely emptying the ground of everyone after the NEAFL game, how would you make sure people without tickets to the senior game didn't stay?

I would have preferred a Sunday game, even out at Blacktown, but they'd probably have got a lower crowd.

I meant to say, one thing that impressed me about Aliir in this game was how fast he was. It wasn't his best game but, despite his many explosive runs out of defence, I have never before noticed how fast he actually is. Really hope he can sort out his issues (whatever they are) over the off-season and pre-season. He has a lot of upside.
