[satchmo]

You must always rememeber that Qld is always on the real time not fake time. So minus an hour from your fake Vic time lol

Time is an abstract concept, stevie, it's all "fake'!

He has two claims to fame

First. He's a poster on SS

Second. He's Armitage's brother.

And you can add another
he's a local
although we haven't heard much from him lately

Good turn up at training. (ended up being held inside at Mackay Basketball Stadium)...just fantastic to get up close to the boys..they're a very impressive group of young men and just wonderfully kind and accommodating towards all the fans present...
..Mrs BF & I got a pic with Jason Holmes..
.Little Miss BF got a pic with her 'boyfriend', Jack Steven..
Richo signed my Saints shirt.....I caught up with DWOODROW...

..It was great to get a Saints fix...I hope the weather settles and the game goes ahead tomorrow... GO SAINTS!!

Who's DWOODROW?

Thanks very much for that Loris.

The game starts at 4:40pm Victorian time for anyone confused by the above.

[BakesFan]

I think he's based in Townsville these days....

..Legend has it he created the following artwork on Castle Hil when Armo was drafted to The Saints.

[No77778]

I'm confused now so its 4:40 or 3:40 melbourne just to be 100% sure

[stevie]

Footy live app is in local and mine says game starts at 240pm

[BakesFan]

From the Harrup Park website..

.."game starts at 3.40pm"
(4.40pm Daylight Saving time)

[loris]

And just to confuse you all. The game is on Foxtel from 1.30pm! That is Western Standard Time!!!!!!!!!

[kosifantutti]

The AFL did exactly the same thing last year. They didn't take into account the time difference at this time of year.

But money and TV rules so I'm going by Foxtel and saying 4:40 Melbourne time.

[kosifantutti]

Just over a year since they couldn't work the time out last year.

Hey I'm not arguing! Just going by my footy app which lists all game starts according to he time where I am.

Just out of curiosity for anyone who has Foxtel? Does the Bulldogs game that starts soon start at 205 Melb time?


Ah think I see the prob...the app isn't realise get the game ain't out of Victoria as it goes on the tv time. So it's showing the time for here if the game was in Melb.

Just as well we don't have the silly daylight saving lol!

[saintspremiers]

At some stage during my lifetime, when they finally do away with State governments, the whole country will have 6 months of daylight savings like most civilised countries

[Bunk_Moreland]

Apparently the game my still be cancelled according to the people from Mackay on BF

[samuraisaint]

50mm of rain supposed to fall before 6pm Mackay time thus afternoon on a ground which is already well and truly waterlogged. Looking forward to watching it, and hoping that the boys have all passed their VicSwim certificates.

[jonesy]

Waste of time,call it off

Look at it. They should have bit the bullet and moved it days ago. If its washed out the people who travelled up there are going to be rightfully pissed.

[yipper]

Darren Parkin is reporting that both teams are not happy with conditions and may refuse to play.

Of course they won't.

Friggin idiots at AFL HQ.

Next year we should DEMAND all games no further North of Brisbane. What fools.

Brisbane offered to move the game days ago but nup, they stuck with Mackay.

If was not for the Armo connection I reckon our club would've made the move. We really needed some direction by the bumbling AFL, if they have any sort of compass that is.

[St Chris]

There's nothing to gain and everything to lose for the clubs. No one is gonna gain anything for round one playing water polo, pull the pin.

[samuraisaint]

Floaties anyone?

[Playon]

BRISBANE LIONS
Out: Mitch Robinson, Nick Robertson, Liam Dawson, Eric Hipwood, Billy Evans

ST KILDA
Out: Nick Riewoldt, Luke Delaney, Cameron Shenton

If it goes ahead

[Grimfang]

They just showed footage of the state of the ground, pre-game. Joey was taking pictures of a square of turf, one of the Lions players stood on it and sunk up to the ankle.

Just announced on Fox Footy, game cancelled.

[Playon]

Game has been cancelled

[Bluthy]

Offically a screw up. Well done AFL. our preparation is now behind schedule if they don't schedule a game.



Today’s game between @brisbanelions and @stkildafc has been cancelled. #NABChallenge

[Kate]

It was obvious three days ago that this game would be a wash out. I'm not angry that it's been cancelled, because going ahead would have been ridiculous, however something should have been arranged days ago.
