Then you must also agree that Essendon and Collingwood shouldn't be the ANZAC day attraction as well, or that Richmond and Essendon shouldn't own Dreamtime!
As far as i'm concerned, if two teams have the innitiative to build an even up, then good luck to them. We had the opportunity with the ANZAC day game, having been the first to play that day (v Collingwood in 1977) but didn't have the forethought to make it an event. In fairness, back then pretty much everything was Saturday arvo (ah the good ol' days)!
We are forging a decent event with Melbourne under lights on ANZAC day anyway, and considering the spectacle under lights compared to the day time event, it could one day rival or over take the Collingwood v Essendon event.
Do we then lose it because of envy, or more to the point, because of a diversionary tactic from a salty coach who doesn't want to talk about the fact that his team was flogged, and they've nominated a 'nearly' player as their captain............... nearly broke that tackle, nearly hit that target etc etc
Well going on what he says Tiges only have Pies once this year, but he gets to see his Bloos choke TWO times against them this year!!
25 points up, five minutes into the last quarter and what a chook job!!
How much money did the MCC make out of that concert. $Millions, they couldn't pass up that sort of income. It helps pay off their debt.
Ignore Salty he's just a whingeing sook.
They want to get the opening game, then they need to earn it. Couldn't get a larger crowd on a Friday than we got on a Thursday. Don't deserve the opening game.

Given they won 16 in a row he had nothing to whinge about, now after 1 loss & he dusts off the old excuse book. 6 teams have played there & only 1 has complained about it. He ain't fooling no 1.
If this guy is whingeing again it must mean the Cats lost.
Concerts were booked in more than a year ago. Gilligan didn't help things by suddenly deciding the AFL n Meedjia organisations needed more money by adding an extra round n starting the season a week earlier than was expected.
Scott was his usual churlish self. He has a real problem of acknowledging the other side being better on the day/night. His usual comments are along the lines of “WE allowed them to do this” “WE permitted them do that”. He struggles with “THEY were too strong at the clearances” etc.etc.etc. He also will ignore a fine performance by a rival player…anyone remember his dismissal by Charlie Cameron one match where Charlie booted 5 and was the difference in the game. Asked about Cameron “‘oh, no I don’t this so, he was well held by so and so, what did he kick 1 goal or 2?”. Reporter “um he kicked 5 Chris and they won by 32 points”……
He will often also just pump up the tyres of his own player/S. Ratagalea a case in point on Friday night.
Then we get his la la spin.
He starts by saying it would be discourteous to talk about the surface and goes on to do exactly that. Then says he has his private opinion which he will keep to himself but (they) players said to him….etc.etc.etc…..
The only reason Geelong were not pumped was their amazing conversion rate in front of goal on the night. If I remember rightly they were 13 goals 1 behind at one stage.
They went from 21 points up to lose by 22 points to a team that outplayed them. Reminded me of a couple of finals against them by us in the last few years.
Was bloody impressed by Collingwood. Last year May be no flash in the pan. That’s concerning.

Old Salty been taking his media lessons from tennis players. They rarely acknowledge their opponents to any great degree. It's always all about them n how maybe they just didn't execute their all conquering game properly.
He's a funny character is Pricky.
Hes a psycho
Hes a *smile*, in *smile* 's clothing
He’s a *smile* like his mate SHocking
