13,713 at Bellerive last night. I would expect Nth Melb to get more than that.

In Melbourne, yes.

[nobleoz]

I am sure Hobart will get as many to AFL as Launceston does. Not sure if Bellerive is up to the standard of York Park, tho

[nobleoz]

PM just announced $15 mill for Bellerive Oval improvements, taking capacity to 20,000.

Announcement today that Collingwood's Harry O'Brien chosen as a "People for Australia" ambassador. Seems he grew up in Fitzroy....wish I had known him when I lived there!

[Laz]

He grew up in wa and has only lived in the c/wood- fitzroy area since joining c/wood.

This is the most straight forward explanation of the new AFL free agency I've seen to date:

The Christian Science monitor?????

[nobleoz]

All AFL experts read the Christian Science Monitor - it's why they give such intelligent & unbiased comments

[Jeffles]

It's an odd source but is the content wrong in any way?

[nobleoz]

It is from 2010. A more updated report is in today's Age

Australia Day, so went to Hyde Park. Right next to Wallabies tent was Sydney Swans area. Kids lining up to throw footballs at blow-up AFL footballers. Lots of laughs when they knock 'em down. Is there no end to Sydney AFL bashing

[Egan]

Nobleoz move to the evangelical territories if you are so dissapointed lol

[nobleoz]

Egan has risen from the dead, to be sure. Let the hate begin!

[Egan]

^ Or the correction of bullshit nobleoz...

But the point still stands, if you want an Aussie Rules lovefest, why are you in Sydney?

There are plenty of cities that you can talk about Natanui's dreadlock as the most important subject in your life, particularly along the southern coastline...
