RD 22: Parramatta Eels v Canberra at TIO Stadium Darwin 8.30pm AEST 9/8/14

[emjaycee]

Fire up merkins... it's game day here in Darwin.
Hindy111 is on the lose up here somewhere and the stadium is already half pre-sold so should be a good atmosphere for a Parra win.

Haven't seen a Faders jersey or any green around... we got dis.

Whats the ground capacity up there??? Over 10k??

I read it is normally 14k depending on configuration.
There are about 7k pre-sold or pre-registered already.

 

[oldmancraigy]

Whats the ground capacity up there??? Over 10k??

It has 5k seats
Lots of hills, ground capacity listed at 14k
Record crowd is 17.5k

They got 9,290 to an AFL game there last month.

 

[hineyrulz]

Hopefully we can get over 10k and it doesn't our crowd figures to much, we have a win and we should get a bumper crowd for a must win game at ANZ.

It's game day, get f**king pumped merkins!!!!!

Prepare plane for take off!

I would be chuffed if the eels from parramatta could achieve a momentous victory full of planing and pumping

Hopefully Ricky gives them one of his awesome rev-ups before the match, all that "if you can look your mates in the eye" claptrap that has served him so well over the years.

Parra by 50.

Yes. And heres hoping he tells his half back. Quick hands and feet but slow brain. Worked a charm on Ben Roberts.
Master Coach Ricky.
If you get a chance check out his "Perfect Partners" appearance on the footy show on Youtube. The guy is a dead set dope.

 

[TheRam]

If Hayne is out, I'll be happy with a one point win.

Haha, yeah, another good one. He revs 'em up as though they're about to jump out of the trenches for the final push. Every game. How many times can you put your soul on the line for a game of footy? For a knob like Ricky?

Rarely watch the footy show but did see that. I remember he said he had "a lot of time for Birdy" after his wife named him as his best friend or something. What kind of person has a lot of time for a guy who glasses his girlfriend and tries to get a mate to take the blame?

Is hindy111 in a Darwin prison yet?

Nah.

He has been eaten by a croc though

 

[phantom eel]

Geez it seems like a long time to wait for kick-off today. I 'm really keen to see us play well and chalk up back to back wins!

Someone saying on Eels Facebook page that Hayne will be rested tonight.

If true, we will lose. Not because we can't win without him, but because it shows we think the game is in the bag already.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Arthur won't rest him.
