I think it was this thread that once came up with the verifying final? Where the Grand Final winner plays the wooden spoon club the week after the grand final to make sure they are worthy and if they lost the whole season is declared null and void

Ha, yeah. Put it on the SASWiki when it existed.



How is everyone? Good? Blues for the 2019 flag.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I think the winner of the AFLX should play the winner of the regular season, with the winner being crowned Supreme Champion.

The argument that “the oval won’t be fenced, it’ll effectively still be public space” really don’t ring true to me given that’s what Collingwood claimed with their oval at the outset.

On the other hand I’m instinctively driven to support anything that dickhead Gary Morgan opposes.

Capping the Jolimont track makes a lot of sense imo, and six stories isn’t really out of line with what it would be opposite in Wellington Parade, and the diagram of the proposed space for the oval looks pretty inoffensive

Also I’d argue a part time private footy oval is a much preferable use of the ground than a part time private car park

Yeah i learned about their yarra park proposal yesterday. It is pretty poo poo. Any rezoning then opens up the rest of the park.

Why can't they share Olympic Park oval with the pies? Their HQ is underneath the rectangular stadium and their front door looks out over that oval, plus the pies got public owned facilities (Olympic swim centre) effectively given to them.

Bad enough the government handed over the management of the park to the mcg trust the other year which has turned it into a car park on weekends which ruins the grass and soil (and trees when hit by cars)

Yeah this is one criticism Im not sure I understand. People have been parking and bbqing on there for probably 50+years without really damaging the park as far as I can see.

Yeah the mcg has had parking in the park for as long as I can remember. If anything, it’s annoying as poo poo that the park is closed half the time for parking these days. I’d go to more games if I could still park at the g.

Another one of our talls hasn't made it, Michael Apeness has announced his retirement, was drafted in 2013, when he actually got on the park he looked okay, lots of aggression at the footy, his body wouldn't let him get a good run at it.

and if there are any trades of picks mid-draft i'd be pretty certain they'd been thrashed out and agreed to days ago rather than negotiated on the spot the way the AFL will probably try make it out
