offminorthreat 1,467 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Got a corporate box invite for this Friday night for the "Qualifying Final" (??) of the Aussie Rules in a game of Collingwood v Hawthorn (4 versus 1 apparently). I normally could not give a fuck about the AFL but am pumped up about this because it is nearly a sell out crowd of 96,000 (capacity of 100,018) and is a Friday night game under lights. Hopefully a good swally in town beforehand and then an entertaining game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertz123 598 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I would have loved to have went to this. I went to a few matches when I there. Hated Collingwood The wee black guy and the tall forward who play for Hawthorn are superb to watch. Enjoy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Collingwood fans were getting absolute pelters when I went and this was from people only a few rows away from each other Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol 401 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 This will be a cracking night at the G. I'm not a huge fan of AFL as a spectator sport but occasions like this are brilliant. Collingwood fans provide a bit of atmosphere too!Just shout "ball" every 10 seconds or so to blend in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
offminorthreat 1,467 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 I was actually born in Oz and have spent just over half my total time on earth living here but this will be my first game ever Have been to the G for plenty of real football and cricket just not AFL which will be fun to explain to my hosts tomorrow night - will use the "baaaaaaalllllll" tip I think.Also been told calling players you don't like "tip rats" is the done thing.

Albertz123 598 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Also, we got tickets for around 20AUD because they were suppose to be restricted view but in no way was our view restricted. There was a cameraman a few feet away that's about it. I think it was this fixture I went to earlier in the season, actually. The beer inside the MCG is awful Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
offminorthreat 1,467 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm assuming in the corporate boxes we will at least get Crown Lager rather than the midstrength shite in the stands :beer1: Nearly 5pm on Friday arvo here now, box opens at 6pm, about to crack a beer at my desk i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

offminorthreat 1,467 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Just in from the game, Hawthorn by 38. Hard sport to watch that one, no rhythm or flow to it, very stop/start. Can't say I loved it. Great athleticism though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
