goalieboy82 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I was at the Kangaroos vs. Swans game in LA California over the weekend. I stayed at the same hotel that the Kangaroos were staying at and got to meet some of the players and coaches and people behind the scene. I also got to meet Ron Barassi (got my picture taken with him) and Dr. Allen Aylett Chairman of the Kangaroos, (some with Ron). It was also a good game. I got to see John Travolta and a few other stars. I will have a few pictures from the stuff I did up soon as I can. so long and thanks for all the fish.

Discrim Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I heard that game sold out (though stupidly only putting out room for 3000 probably had something to do with that )...that's cool that you got to meet some of the Kangas A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I heard that game sold out (though stupidly only putting out room for 3000 probably had something to do with that )...that's cool that you got to meet some of the Kangas i thought they were going to use the Rose Bowl which i heard is smaller than the SCG, they ended up using one of the training fields and apparently the place can hold 15k but due to safety or something they cant use 60% of the seats....the ground apparently was about the size of the SCG.... twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 nah, they were never gonna use the Rose Bowl. our stadiums, for the most part, can't house AFL footy. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I was in the crowd of 3,200 at UCLA... and quite pleased to see my beloved 'Roos pick up the victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabet Man Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 nah, they were never gonna use the Rose Bowl. our stadiums, for the most part, can't house AFL footy. yeh i was trying to work out how they would do that, maybe i just thought UCLA and Rose Bowl i dunno lolLooks like McIntosh did alright for the Kangas....Swans might have a premiership hangover like teams do......then again both teams played about 29 players (unlimited interchange in exhibition matches) and teams palyed a Pre-Season team (in not playing the big guns)Brian, what did you think of the game? twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I thoroughly enjoyed it. Granted, I realized that I wasn't watching a pair of mid-season form AFL sides, but it was a treat nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
