Re: NAB game against Brisbane 6 Mar
The afl should be paying for every single dollar this cost, in air travel, accomodation, any tickets sold, for both teams.
Disgraceful situation and I doubt even plugger would be sticking up for the afl if he were here. Although, hang on....

Re: NAB game against Brisbane 6 Mar
Wasn't there talk of transferring it to Brisbane tomorrow night?
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: NAB game against Brisbane 6 Mar
People who flew up for the game should certainly be reimbursed their flight and hotel costs and a little extra for the effort to see diddly squat. We will probably do a match simulation thing on Monday but no where near as good.stevie wrote:The afl should be paying for every single dollar this cost, in air travel, accomodation, any tickets sold, for both teams.

The AFL will not seek to reschedule the Lions/Saints match to another day or venue, with the remaining 9 NAB matches next week already set.

Lets wait until an hour before the game starts and send someone out with a brolly

Re: NAB game against Brisbane 6 Mar
Not only cancelled by Patrick Keane on Twitter just said that the game won't be rescheduled
So both the Lions and the Saints only get two preseason matches while all other teams get three.
We will therefore go in underdone to the season and get flogged in R1.
Really great that the AFL in their incompetence have not only cancelled a game but won't reschedule it.
They really don't care unless your team is GOld Coast, Sydney, or GWS.
Brisbane and Saints don't count.

It just means we have to play our round 1 side next week against Melbourne.

Re: NAB game against Brisbane 6 Mar
I hope the club publicly blasts the AFL for this stuff up. The pricks deserve to get smashed for this.
They had the chance to be proactive and move it to Brisbane, but didn't even appear to consider it, as hard as it is at very late notice.

It's Lions v Saints, the AFL couldn't care less if our preseason is compromised or not.
Saints won't blast them. Finnis is after an AFL top job down the line. His good mate Gill will make sure of it, unless he rocks the boat.
AFL is the biggest jobs for the boy mob in the country, except for the Liberals

Re: NAB game against Brisbane 6 Mar
Apparently Brisbane offered to organise the game to be played there earlier in the week, but the AFL sat on their hands. This isn't really good enough.

Re: NAB game against Brisbane 6 Mar
Foxtel subscribers dudded and like me, turn the telly off. I reckon Foxtel would be pretty unhappy with the AFL who really should have moved the game down the road somewhere, considering the weather was going to be a massive problem and this was known days out.

Re: NAB game against Brisbane 6 Mar
Just been raised that in our pre-season thus far, by the time we play Melbourne next week we won't have played a game against opposition for over three weeks, and we have only played one competitive match in 6 and a half months. Wow...
