              Compared to yesterday it's late, but 2.10pm isn't really too late Ern. So just out of curiosity, how did the AFL kill JFK?

                  I was born 3 days before JFK was shot and was in a pram on thr grassy knoll it was definitely not Demetriou, it was Ross Oakley, Demetriou was his getaway driver.

                    It's not really a conspiracy theory, it's economics.

                    They know attendances drop 20% on Easter Sunday.

                    If they give us a home game v a non-Victorian side we will get 24,000 instead of 30,000. They lose 6,000 bums on seats.

                    If they give Richmond-Carlton Easter Sunday instead of 72,000 they get 58,000 and lose 14,000.

                    It's the same reason we always got Mother's Day (no-one plays Mother's Day this year).

                    We take it us the arse for everyone else again.

                      Hows bay13 for the footy? Still crazy like it is for the cricket?

                      I think members can sit between m10 and m16 IIRC.

                        I'll be able to go to this one. I had to spend Easter in Mildura with the outlaws so I missed the Adelaide game

                          Well I managed to find a pub that showed the game not the same but under the circumstances I was happy. I agreed to go weeks before not looking at the fixture, had I have done that I would have had an escape clause.

                            I don't have a problem with getting the rough end of the deal. Just as long as people even our own understand why we get the CBF and how it still falls short of proper compensation.
