Wow. This Gabba ground "crisis" had certainly put the aflw and the AFL in general in the spotlight here in south east qld at least. All over the radio ... even nrl friendly 4gb? Is talking about it and call back is around who is going .

This has certainly opened up the debate re a stand alone stadium also with the lions and AFL using this as ammunition already.

Secretly, I think the AFL could not be happier with the decision from a marketing and lobbying point of view. And they can come out clean saying how upset and angry they are lol.

Also wonder if it will increase suns lions game attendance ?

Wow.......good 'ol waffling Fred sees everything in fumbleball as a positive.....even the negatives......lolololololol. The confirmation bias is working perfectly in Freds little self imposed bubble.......lolololoolololol.

I actually can't see what the Gabba has done wrong. If the ground is not ready it's not ready. And an ashes test match far outweighs a little game of fumbling females.

It's like terry has learnt a new word lol. Confirmation bias ... must of been on the word of the month calander. :). We could have a drinking game every time he uses it .... but we do love ya terry ... you're alright. All just fun.

But seriously, I think the AFL are probably happy as I said but can act all aggrieved. It's really a win win for them I feel.


From all the media today .... and boy my confirmation bias was in overdrive with how much there actually was... to the point I lost count of all the goal posts for a bit....I think the point of conjecture was that they re sowed a section of the pitch and that needed 6 weeks to set in . With the ashes 8 months away and a season of AFL to be played anyway ... I am not sure why an extra week matters unless they bury the pitch or something. Anyone got more collateral on this?

Lol
All this has done is highlight to the non fumble brainwashed that the AFL are not as big as they think they are in QLd
They cannot bully other sports & think they can get their own way .
Also it shows that the game is as,it always should have been is being played at one of the already 3 stadia that they have in SEQ.
No need for another when there's adequate grounds around if one is not available
Fumblers see it different .
Normal folk see there's no need for wasting $$$$ on another
Lol

I think you'll see this result in a boutique stadium sooner than would have happened.

Anyway... what do people think the crowd will be for the aflw grand final ?

I'll go out on a limb and say 18000. And I'm thinking I may be under estimating.

Others game to make a prediction?

And will it get more than the men's game later on?

18,000........lolololololololololololololololololol. It'll be nothing like that but it's pointless making a prediction as they're now giving round figure 'estimates' that are ........let's say.........ahem......interesting.......lololololool.

If it's a curtain raiser to the men's game my bet is the crowd figure will be counted at Full time so that the majority who are there to watch the men's game will be counted as part of the women's crowd .
