And people think Wallace is full of spin.

Come in Spinner, Kevin Sheedy, come on down.

Not happy up here.  We don't get live coverage at all.  Channel 10 and Fox are both playing the Brisbane game.

Sorry to hear julzqld that you're not getting the game, so I just went to check our tv guide and there it was at 7.30pm. I hope we have a win I'm tipping us for a narrow win. So I'm going with my heart not my brain.

Yep RR. Sheeds will say anything to get a crowd.

A touch early to call Peterson a AFL star. The Herald-Sun might want to wait until he at least plays a game lol.

Stars talk about the Indigenous Round
25 May 2007   Herald-Sun

FIVE AFL stars give their thoughts on the AFL's Indigenous Round.

CARL PETERSON (Richmond)

"It is really exciting. It's great that the AFL has set aside a whole round to celebrate indigenous players."

11.00am is a good time to start

I think the gates open around 4.30. Not sure when the pre-game stuff starts. I'd take a guess and say about 30mins before the start of the game at 7pm.
