Only way to keep everyone happy is to play all games on the same day. There will always be someone not happy.

Is there anything else you want Sydney to have?

Week 1 of the finals, Dogs need to complain about something.

It's not right mate doesn't matter what Sydney have had in the past. There is absolutely zero sense to it.

Nah not really. Just when you finish top you'd think common sense would prevail

I don't see the issue. Both games that affect you are played on the same day. The loser of your game plays the winner of the Crows game and both are on Saturday. The only ones getting a day less is the loser of Geelong/Hawks who get 1 less day of rest but that is compensated by them not leaving home or having to travel the following week.

Agree with Jimbo not a massive issue. We all seem a but bitchy on here at the moment.

Maybe a good time for the week off.

I hope we bid on the Brisbane academy kids now just to spite them

So your spiteful towards Brisbane for what not losing by enough?

Come on mate let it go, enjoy your spoon.

Still filthy about the spoon but now we have it its our job to make sure the Northern sides pay a decent price for their academy players. 3 or 4 of their kids are top 10-15 material and Bowes is probably a top 3 pick, why should the Suns get him for a pick in the 30's or lower. I'd seriously hope we bid on a couple of them and force them to take them with their first pick. Sounds like we will be aggressive in the draft too with talk we met O'Meara again yesterday and will offer him more if he walks to us in the PSD. We need to use the rewards that come with the shame of a spoon

Makes zero sense!

Re Adelaide Oval ticketing, can you still buy guest passes on AO members tickets for finals?

Can't see why, it's round 26 for them and nobody goes anyway.
