    I'll take 3.20pm on a Saturday - good time for footy and should be the best time for maximising the crowd at the game.

    Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.

    Papley instead of ND, perhaps?
    I like your thinking, but honestly, I couldn't go through that again!!

    Excuse me - right you are. I got over-excited.

    Gary Rohan kicking four in last would have a small amount of irony.

    AFL seem to have fixed up their page now, looks like Saturday 10th 3:20 it is. I have the kids that weekend due to "girls weekend away." Looks like they'll be spending a day at the footy

    given the game will likely attract a crowd in excess of the 48,000 capacity at the SCG
    Certainly should and can only hope it does.

    Crowd expected... memberships = 56k swans + 15k giants + 10k ANZ members = 80k sellout.

    Note there is a fair bit of crossover there but with good marketing should get 70k. All depends on swans members

    *sigh* I had my fingers firmly crossed for a Thursday evening surprise. I'm off overseas on Friday for a month. We booked almost a year ago and I had no idea our kids would stand up like they have this year - was thinking we'd maybe scrape into the 8.

    I'll be in the Caribbean Sea somewhere during the GF. The boys have only won GFs when I've been there :/ I missed 96, 06 and 14 for various reasons. Let's hope they change that trend this year.

    I'll never go to an AFL game at ANZ again if they manage 70,000 through the gate

    50K would be a really good outcome.

    There is a more than reasonable crossover between Swans and Giants members, there are Swans members everywhere (I.e. not just in Sydney) which means many will not be there (it is a qualifying final after all), and given that ANZ was after only 5000 tickets for games at the SCG (and tiny amounts have been used for the moved 3 games during the season), I'd argue the evidence would suggest there is no way in hell that there will be 10,000 anz members there.
