I'll be going along for the game tomorrow, looking forward to it having never been to an ANZAC Day game before.

Must be great now Griffen#16 being in Melbourne now to go to the footy. Are you close to the city. Should be a cracking match tomorrow. They are expecting full capacity.

Besides that game only the Port V Geelong game would hold any interest for neutral supporters.

Agreed, not a great round although Carlton v West Coast might be a better game now than it looked like a couple of weeks ago.

I hope you enjoy the day.

I would never ever go to this match as I don't believe we should be just gifting such a match to just two clubs. They will pocket hundreds/thousands , increase their profiles and exposure and gain more members. So wrong.

It is so obvious and they do not want this recognised in the Equalisation debate. Meanwhile we get shafted around on games that people can't get too and then are looked down on because we can't build membership.

Very Chicken and Egg problem.

[Bulldog Joe]

Just on the footy, I am expecting Brisbane to do much better against the Saints.

St Kilda are getting ahead of themselves based on results so far. They have been greatly assisted by a soft draw and caught Essendon after they were effectively cooked 6 days earlier in Perth.

St Kilda off a second 6 day break.

Yep 20 years of exposure = big memberships.

Will NZ make a difference?

[Remi Moses]

Think Brisbane are a good chance.

Unknown, but the extra travel does make it more difficult for a team on a 6 day break.

Agree on increasing their exposure but according to Channel 7 news tonight the profits from the match are divided between all Clubs. I wasn't aware of this myself.

[Remi Moses]

As they should be.
You can't have caviour and tell the rest to eat pie.
Tremendous fight back from Collingwood, the usual suspects Swan Pendlebury.
Steele Sidebottom gets under the radar, he is a super footballer.

Sidebottom was best on ground for mine. Got them back in the game.
