AFL Grand Final 2017 - Richmond v Adelaide

[ol' boy]

I know we have the Footy tipping thread, but i thought i'd make another for discussion, live streams and Tickets.
I thought yesterdays game was amazing, i'm not a Tigers supporter, but as a Victorian and a lover of a good game, how good did they play!
That Dusty Martin is a freak!!!

What i'd like to ask here is, how do you buy AFL Grand Final tickets??
I know there is 35 years of Tigers supporters lining up, but does anyone know how you get you hands on proper tickets????
I have no idea myself and i'm sure the online world is full of scams.

EDIT:

While here, what is with the AFL making the Tigers wear their clash jumpers?
And is there anyway to watch 7HD in a regional area?
(i tried everything yesterday and it was all SD)


Go Tigers! Smash em!

I am a lifelong Richmond supporter and one of the few people that has actually seen them win a grand final.

I went to the 1980 Grand Final and saw Richmond absolutely destroy Collingwood. Kevin Bartlett was unstoppable with 7 goals. I was 12 at the time....so yes, its been a while. I went with my auntie and grandmother. My auntie gave my grandmother a talking to before we left, as my grandmother had almost been thrown out of several games during the season. I can remember one particular game I went to with her (she was a mad South Melbourne Supporter and grew up there in the depression years) where she went to town on an opposition supporter and belted him over the head with an umbrella multiple times.

This jumper clash shit is a joke and yet again (as per the gay marriage crap) shows what a joke the AFL really is. Fark me, teams have been playing for well over a 100 years and havent been confused by other jumpers, where do they get this shit from ??

7HD on Austar or Foxtel maybe Oceanboy ?

Another good game on shortly, Richmond V's Port Melbourne VFL Grand Final, on Channel 7.


Edit : 3PM kick off, I thought it was 2.

It sure is crap.
There would not be a single person at the game that couldn't tell one team from the other
Apart from the 6 men in pink apparently... FFS, what a joke.

[admin]

Yeah.....very easy to mix them up isnt it.

[admin]

Just had a thought Oceanboy on HD, I presume it would be on VAST ? (if you have it ?)

[enf]

FFS...remember the North/Collingwood Grand final draw and replay in 77? I don't recall anyone having a problem or even saying they did.......

No prediction from me...others on this board will verify that my tips this year have been pure poison....so toxic that even if I were to say good luck to both teams, they'ed both find a way to f*cking lose.....

I dont want you or Rick backing Richmond !

There is a hell of a lot riding on that tip.....

[admin]

Wow, Shannon Noll is doing well these days, he got a gig singing the National Anthem at the VFL Grand Final.

I spose they had a small budget for it Admission with a pie and coke would have covered it

Your not wrong, I may have to ban one, either or both for a week

[Rick]

I dont want you or Rick backing Richmond !

To late old fruit, ive backed them consistently this year, guess thats near worthy of a weeks ban And Al you behave yourself or no coffee or cigar for you

[Rick]

Im just hoping Trent doesnt get a fine resulting in a one game ban, how devastating would that be for a captain to not be able play in his grand final? He wasnt reported and no free kick awarded, does he really have anything to answer for? Or is MRP just out to cause grief.

... how devastating would that be for a captain to not be able play in his grand final?

Yeah, ask Bob Murphy.

[enf]

Yeah, ask Bob Murphy.

Yeah...and any one of a hundred in past years....shit happens.

BUT, he has a chance as they let Luke Hodge play after he escaped trying to ram a Carlton players head into the behind post a couple of years ago. A decision that the luminaries were stunned by.

WAFL grand final in 30 mins, Subiaco vs Fremantle Dockers. I mean Peel Thunder.
Those in charge of our state league think it's fair that Peel can play 15 dockers in a grand final, Peel being the reserve Freo team.
This will be nasty, only the poor weather can even it up a little.

I read about this absurd situation. As a born and raised sandgroper (Royals for me!) it pisses me off no end.

Its ridiculous its even being looked at in my opinion.....the AFL and its idiotic rules just wreck the game. You go for the ball and get rubbed out......how is that a sport ?

Richmond lost the VFL final to Port. Well done Port, bankrupt and closing they turn it around to win a premiership.
