Australia vs Turkiye 2pm.
Richmond v Brisbane MCG 1:10
St Kilda v GWS 3:15

Maybe this has something to do with it?

I believe AFL are out to get us and there's legitimate arguments but this isn't it.

Fed square can choose what events to put on they don't want to take the risk

 

[patjennings]

If nobody threw flares there wouldn't be a problem so I don't really get the argument.

So you're telling me there are no flares at AFL games or on the way to the MCG. Richmond station to the MCG is known for it.

You show me flares being used at the afl. Even if that's true were people chucking them?

Just look at every news report on any Grand Final as the fans walk to the MCG. You see them every time. The cameras try to stay tight to who they are talking to but they are always seen.

mapt@development.vic.gov.au or media enquiries at media@mapco.vic.gov.au.

I told you what to look for - what more do you want? The police reports? Look for yourself.

Look for yourself is a great way to win an argument

Asking for people to do your work is better?

Not afl but Michael cain when interviewing simon hill had an nrl victory parade full of flares and the news laughing and talking it up, then contrasted that with the same reporters reporting the footy

Here has some good footage back to back

Not the politics thread but come on Vics vote Liberal or National.

Lol yeah, vote for the Libs and Nats, who have always been so sympathetic to football.

You're right mate, it's not the politics thread, so stop constantly pushing your political opinions here and on other non-politics related topics.

 

[NoMates]

So no federation square live feed of Socceroo games in Melbourne. Oh well wot do you expect from Victorians - there the worse.

They're back in Adelaide for a bit.

Good to hear Irankunda isn't too satisfied with his season so he has stuff to work towards.

Just out of curiosity, if someone got burnt by a flare at Fed Square, can they sue Fed Square management? Because if it is a question of insurance, then there should be event being held at Fed Square, ever.

They could try, and might succeed if they could demonstrate that Fed Square (or rather, whoever operates it) was negligent, but that seems difficult to me unless Fed Square didn’t take reasonable precautions. Id anticipate that Fed Square’s public liability insurance would pick up that kind of thing, unless there’s some specific carve out for flare related incidents in the cover (and that’s not beyond the realms of possibility, in fact if I was a PL underwriter I might try to exclude but that’s all dependant on market conditions).

You're the one making the argument you need to supply the evidence haha I've never heard someone say look it up yourself..anyways bottom line is you're of excuses

 

[HonestSpursFan]

9News made a good point. Melbourne has protests all the time, many of which turn violent, but they stop for a football match? Lol.
