So philtee, you're saying that it'll be better to go watch the match against Carlton at the MCG? I wouldn't mind, just that it might be coming too soon for me to plan, but either way I don't mind! (Just hope I don't get seats along with the Blues fans!)philtee wrote: Maybe your safest bet would be the Saints' Round 24 match against Carlton at the MCG,
which may have a lot riding on it regarding ladder positions, but at least we know when and where
that one is, tickets will still be available, and it may have a finals-type atmosphere.
alright, so I guess my best bet is the last game against the Carlton Blues I reckon?St Lenny wrote:Without being rude, DON'T ring St Kilda. They are a sporting club not a travel agent who can tell you where to stay etc.
As someone has already said, it is hard to plan at this stage as we don't know we will be in the finals yet, let alone where and when we will play.
Tickets are not available until this has been decided. Members get first opportunity to buy tickets then non members through ticketmaster or ticketek.
As for accommodation, back packers is the best bet if you are watching the dollars. Google and you will find something.
Ok, will take note of that. Hopefully I'll get a seat amongst da Saints faithful! any guarantees for that? Guess not, considering that members are all grouped together?St Lenny wrote:Easier to plan for, especially when you come from overseas. I live interstate, and many years ago booked for a final in Melb and it was played in Sydney, most annoying.
Pardon me for being petty, but prices still abit steep I must say. Lookin' for a normal B&B. but if there're no other choices, I guess I'll have to take that! haha..philtee wrote:I've never stayed here, but it's not over priced, and it has a good reputation.

last game of the Home and away I would assume many will get there-Konstantinos wrote:Thanks fellow Saints for your generous help! Any of you a guarantee for the Blues game yet?
Thanks brat! Looking forward to seein' all of you down at the MCG! (:saintbrat wrote:last game of the Home and away I would assume many will get there-Konstantinos wrote:Thanks fellow Saints for your generous help! Any of you a guarantee for the Blues game yet?
and the MCG holds 100,000 or near that so plenty of space...
a check with SaintDooley or cheersquad thread will give you an idea of which end the majority of saints may be sitting
I'm a born-and-bred Singaporean who began watchin' AFL since 2009. Was amazed by the Saints' footy at that time and began supportin' them! Like any fairweather fan at that time, could've switched to the Cats or Pies after seein' Saints losin' both the Finalsclarky449 wrote:Quick Question, curious whether you are an Australian living in singapore, or a singaporian that has become a fan?
Great to have you onboard!
, but I didn't. Check with the hotel you're staying in whether they have the channel "Australia Network". If they do, you're in luck, because they show AFL games every weekend! I've watched both the Finals on AN, so I have no doubts they'll show it again, just make sure you get your Saints jumper on while watching the game mate!Barking Owl wrote:Hi Konstantinos
I will be in Singapore in the second week of the finals.
Can you tell me where I can see the game?
Thanks for your help.
what!? really!? that really sucks doesn't it? ):battye wrote:Welcome to the forum Konstantinos
Unfortunately I have some bad news about the Australia Network. From what I have gathered the AFL TV rights deal with Australia Network is expiring this year - I'm pretty sure they will show the finals series but I think from 2012 onwards there won't be much footy besides maybe a weekly highlights package.
I've watched St Kilda games when I've been travelling around Asia on the Australia Network since about 1999, it really is a lifeline to the AFL in the region - there's nothing like returning to the hotel room and enjoying the football in a foreign land - so I am very disappointed that the deal is expiring.
So definitely take note of VietNam_Saint's message!
