Is it even a discussion until there’s a matrix developed to identify the perfect seat?

Factoring in key things such as cost, access to amenities and the attire of those supporters around you?

Argument, counter argument, random abuse. I miss those times.

Yes, being near a bar that sells Furphys is a must. I'm too scared to look at my credit card statement online though!

Wouldn't have a clue how the game went! :lol:

I do remember being cranky that the start of the taxi stand was at the top of a hill, asked one taxi at the back if he could give me a lift to the taxi at the start of the rank and he took us home! :D

Oh? So they had EFTPOS? Next you'll be telling me that there were short waiting times and they didn't run out of pies!
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail

Didn't have to wait once, don't know about the pies but the Dim Sims were yummy.

I think the crowd was only 37k which was disappointing though as the Cats average a lot more at Adelaide Oval, did appear mainly members not rocking up though as most seats in the outer looked full. Was a lot of empty corporate boxes too but that would be because the Powers catering branch couldn't sell them, they sell a lot from match to match where most of the Crows are taken with annual packages.

What? First home game since round 9, May 19th, and only 37,000?
At least they were well catered for. Would have been hell to pay if they couldn't keep that many fed through two hours of footy.
Sounds as though the seats were good Wedgie. Obviously some inside connection?

The skill level in the afl at the moment is incredibly poor. The pies and cats being top 2 shows in my opinion where the afl is at at the moment because neither team is that good.

A pity Carey isn't at the Halfway ATM. I've bought all the Port supporters pints of West Ends. No bets were made, just seemed the right thing to do.
I'll keep the front bar open til 8.30pm for ya Carey! :D
