And it's a night game!!


"...If there has been one recurring theme through this whole shocking mess, it has been the misguided, inflated egos and their ill-judged determination to cling to long-standing old boy friendships. The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."

Yeah that’s what I thought also - no mention on Saints website re the 1,000 seat stand.

Also - why aren’t we playing 3 practice matches, given the idiotic AFLX has been canned?

We don’t need a BYE in the pre season comp!

We used to always have 3 scheduled inter-club practice matches before the AFLX garbage.

We will probably schedule a intra club practice match either before Hawthorn or in the bye week.

I’m sure you’re right - but an extra game against another club is more TV exposure and better for marketing.

Fantastic that we're back at Moorabbin. Club should promote it as a nostalgia event and offer a free ticket with membership.

They'll probably water it the night before (and leave the sprinklers going all night.

Just like the old days. :lol:

That’s the very least I would expect. Are there any gates that they can funnel people through to charge?

Praccy matches are normally free if you have a club membership of the club that’s playing

But no animal pit.

They should at least set up an area surrounded by barbed wire.


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Beer in cans.
Burgers from the O'Briens food vans.
Watching Phil Stevens captaining the reserves in the curtain raiser, playing at full back.
Kids having to stand on tinnies to see the action.
Everybody smoking.
At quarter time and half time people moving from behind the goals at one end to the opposite end following our full forward.
Southside Six/Players for a few coldies after the big game.
Lucky Burgers on the way home.

Grass roots grounds or the MCG for me

You are obvious old enough like me to remember the large steel beer cans. Mainly Fosters I think?

As a kid one of my first tasks was to hunt around for two cans to stand on to increase improve my viewpoint.

Given the likely crowd size Moorabbin will have major better buzz about it.

I wonder if we will run the sprinklers on Wednesday night just for a bit of nostalgia

What could be possibly bad about watching the footy at Etihad?

Perfect conditions

Comfortable

Great viewing

I watched Sandy and the girls at Moorabbin last year. Viewing was terrible. Standing only, no incline so unless you were in the front row, poor viewing and no atmosphere.

I was a bit, meh.

Looks like a good training facility as it is, not so much for watching a game. TBBO is a better place to watch footy.
