Finals Ticketing System


I hate the AFL Finals ticketing system.

There is no point being a club member during September! :eek:

For finals matches, Tickets are released to MCC & Participating Club Members on the Monday. MCC member can get 1 or 2 visitor passes, club members 0.
Tuesday AFL members who can get 2 visitor passes. Wednesday 9am - public reserved seating. THIS IS THE PART THAT ANNOYS ME. You cannot use your Club Membership to purchase discounted tickets after Tuesday, so if you are a club member and you're going to the game with your mates who are not, you must purchase public reserved seating tickets which therefore deems the membership invalid.

Doesn't make sense to me but i guess thats the way those crazy bastards down at the AFL House like it! :arghh:

Brad Miller Lifeline/Trade Rumours


Miller was told last month by the Demons that he would not be offered a new contract but there has been interest from other AFL clubs.
Gold Coast, in search of readymade players to complement its young list, is believed to be among those most interested.

He is 27 and has played mainly in the VFL this year but has played some good games there, thhere are still a few years in him i think but the most likely place to go if he wants to continue in the AFL is the Gold Coast.

"In his second-last VFL match, Miller booted 10 goals in a dominant display."

Simon Black Brisbane At Last Some Good News


According to the AFL website

"BRISBANE Lions champion Simon Black is poised to sign a one-year deal, ending his protracted negotiations with the club."

Hope so, they appear to be getting smashed from pillar to post at the moment. I'm not going to say "Good onya Simon" you are a champion ... knowing my luck I will jinx them.
