What happened to the tradition of circulating NSFW type of emails .. Is it just my circle of mates or has this practice really slowed to a near halt these days?

social media killed the funny pics off, and probably most of the semi-NSFW pics too

i still get a friday girly email though thats about it

[mickey]

so geelong are able to do it, but neither Adelaide team can???

That's right.

Geelong don't get 50,000 for starters. They don't play test cricket on there oval and they could use the extra people at the ground.

As I mentioned also it's about logistics. Without going into too many specifics there isn't anywhere to put the teams that would play before and after without conflicting with agreements already in place.

I'd love to see the Port or Crows reserves play before the AFL variety even if it was an hour before but I can't see it happening in the near future.

What's wrong with the change rooms under the western stand? and there usually has been a curtain raiser before the port home games this season

Yep there are still plenty of change rooms about are there not? Both the cricket ones and also some separate ones still?

Been there done that, curtain raiser teams are treated like 3rd rate citizens by Adelaide Oval staff. Severely spoiled my first and probably only Adelaide Oval experience.

We were under the western stand - change rooms were sufficent but clearly for cricket as there was only one bench and it was designed for basketballers to stand at.

Give me Footy Park for this type of thing anyday.

What other than the change rooms failed to meet expectations? What about footy park was different?

Not trying to argue just interested.

Footy Park had 2 sets of change rooms designed for footballers. Given that only one set had a warm up room but if there was a double header in the SANFL days they could easily share it.

Not that I have been in the new Adelaide oval rooms I'm guessing that the ones the cricketers use are designed for them primarily and less space as there is only 12 in a team as opposed to 21/22 blokes.

[bennymacca]

i went and saw the changerooms earlier this year, the cricket ones in the western stand i am talking about.

they are pretty huge. would pretty easily fit a team of footballers, even at sanfl standard. had huge ice baths and everything.

not sure if they are used for these games though or where even the SANFL changerooms are when they play a game there

[heater31]

Well at footy park 1 of the spares was used by the media to store gear and conduct pre game interviews. If the crows were at home the other was their in game medical room as their rooms are on the other side of the oval

Dare I say it, there is such a thing as "enough is enough" when it comes to porn?

IT department filters would have stopped a lot of them as well. Get no where near as many as a few years ago.

What Heater said and as what I said above, the oval staff and rude and treat you like 5 year olds, they even threatened to charge our waterboy normal price to get into the ground because he lost his ticket and then I got the lecture (not sure why) about keeping tickets secure so this doesn't happen again.

Then after quarter time, we were told we could only have one bench for our players to sit on in the bench area because the AFL teams require the other 3. What, they require them right now?! At least at Footy Park, there were enough bench space so that the AFL teams and TV folk were happy to set up around us.

AO wouldn't even open the car park until 9am. Our game started at 9am, therefore I had to cart a shitload of medical gear all the way over from Uni oval because the arseholes wouldn't open the car park an hour earlier for anyone involved in the early game.

I reckon some of the SANFL's faithfuls heads might explode if they have to play a curtain raiser to an AFL match....

That sounds pretty rough.
