@LachlanB_ @rhettrospective This is incredible information!! I’d never have guessed an RF and TW bounced differently!

[Bob Ely @bob_ely]

@maxlaughton @AflGlicko Definitely agree. I’m over from NZ and took train down from Melbourne to the game. Got the first train back after game and didn’t get back to my hotel in CBD until near midnight. It’s a tough ask for fans from Melbourne, especially those working Friday

@DudespostingWs I had one in 2009. It is still the best thing I have EVER tasted 😋

@AndrewGigacz It won’t be #4

@TimHarcourt @Matt_Pinner I can remember the Sigma being launched by Chrysler

@FansAFL Club polos are a fashion abomination. Let players wear what they want, as long as there’s no hoodie+trakkie dax combos. And suits/blazers with tie should be mandatory for coaches again

[Bob Ely @bob_ely]

@codeaflau Yes! Anything to get them out of those appalling media polos

@Ardy346 @zhuoyanakl Looks good from a distance but when you get into town it’s absolutely fucked.

@timmyhodges As a Cats fan who lives in Auckland it’s bloody annoying. Most AB’s tests are played Saturday night at 7-8pm so why they’ve decided to play this one at 5pm NZT is a head scratcher. Surely RA told NZR about the impact on their AU audience 🤷‍♂️

@notcherylkernot I learned in a quiz this week that the McCafe concept was developed and launched first in Melbourne in 1993

@maxblake9and44 Have caught a 6am flight from Auckland this morning just so I can be on One-Eyed Hill at Cohuna this afternoon for @CohunaKangas v Lake Boga. Intend to have a few cold ones too 😁

@UZI9mmmm @CanberraAFLTeam @tommorris32 @AFL If they’d put a team there in early 80s after Cowboy Neale led ACT to victory over Victoria they’d be incredibly strong in Canberra and southern NSW now. If they do get a team they should repurpose the Capitals name and wear eucalyptus green and ochre, as per H of Reps and Senate

[Bob Ely @bob_ely]

@PoppyPenny1 Believe it or not, there was a time in the 80s when any Geelong game was a 50/50 and they were renowned for losing games that should’ve been gimmes. Have many horrific memories of handbag jokes and hearing “here puss, puss!” on Mondays at school 😂. Have loved the last 18 years!

[Bob Ely @bob_ely]

@official_lesdog Possibly but acess and scheduling other factors too. Eden Park in residential area so has restrictions on number of night time events it can hold and parking and access can be an issue. Mt Smart for all its faults is in industrial area so plenty of parking and less restrictions

@ShannonGill13 @ESPNAusNZ Great article Shannon. Given passage of time and the current craze overseas for private investment in sports clubs and leagues, do you think private ownership of a club (eg. Suns or Giants) is something the AFL would revisit?
