How good was that last 15/20 minutes, tit for tat scoring, 1 point in it, West Coast Eagles hung on, good to see they lasted.......
edited for aviation content, : yeah, I was in a 182T watching another bloke in another 182Q (I think) draw smoke circles in the sky..........blah blah blaj..blaj hlaj haaj haa...
I hope like hell it's my sector on monday otherwise the boss may be doing both the flying AND the radio work. Nothing left in my voice either!
Sad for the Swannies but they were well held by the WCE for the first half with many Swans 'down'. Full credit to the WCE second tier players who stood tall.
It just goes to show that 2005 was no fluke for the Swannies. Look out in 2007!
aviation content: great job done by the guys/girls at EN tower. It was getting quite hectic there aroung the G with aircraft requesting city orbits, mixed with TV choppers, the blimp and aircraft operating in and out of EN. Quite a few bizjets dropping into EN as well including Dick's Citation 525.
Does anyone know how many seats on airlines were sold from having teh AFL and NRL both having out of city finalists. peaple in the terminals tell me that you couldnt get a seat into Melbourne from anywher on the friday.
Virgin flights have been chockers all over the network for the last couple of weeks - friday operated at something like 93% load factor for the day. All week you could not get a flight to melbourne, and I heard stories of people (read: staff travellers) trying to get to melbourne and sydney via gold coast, adelaide and god knows where else... I *heard* that the only seats available SYD-MEL on friday were a couple of QF J class seats @ over $1000 each one way (although I am not presenting that as fact - just what I heard from an F/O who's mum and sister were trying to get from syd back to mel)
Shit yeah! What a game. It was the best I've ever seen especially Judd, Kerr, Cousins, and Hunter. These guys are true champions... Hehehe WA is surely the leader in football. Anyone care to dispute that fact
I know 2 people who got tickets at the last minute to the game and flew via Singapore then on to Melbourne from Perth and came in ALOT cheaper than flying PER-MEL on a J fare which were in excess on $1000.00 which is crazy.
Great game, I was watching it live via satellite in the Middle East, then at 3 minutes to go the feed got scrambled. Came good as the gongs were being handed out.... .... then I went flying etc etc
No stains on my Y fronts MR 'cause with a minute to go The mighty WEAGLES had it in the bag !
When are your beloved PIEs going to make it into the big time ?
Look out in 2007!
