The Lighting of the Flame

Post by BazBoy »

In the greatest stadium in the greatest city in the greatest country in the world a spectacular ceremony tonight
Some 85000 mobile phones lit in stadium looked like a million candles

So the cauldron is lit. Let Anzac games begin

The ANZACS never fought nor died for this AFL mediarised commercial crap. How dare the AFL try and hijack the ANZAC spirit and profit from it. All money taken at the gate tomorrow should go to veterans welfare and not the Clubs.
I love this club and I hold anyone in contempt who does not think it is worth fighting for.

I used to steal the magazines from under dads bed when I was a boy, but now I just stream movies.

Agree 100%. We don't even give veterans charities the money we make from selling ANZAC Day guernseys though.
