For those not interested in the football (like me) then you will likely be dreading the return of the AFL in a few weeks, for many reasons, not least the crowds of people everywhere and lack of parking in nearby streets.

The 1st game on Thursday night 22/3 is expected to be like a grand-final i.e. 100,000 people!
Why? I don't know, or care!

Just a warning to plan for traffic gridlock, full trams & trains, no parking & street closures on that Thursday night. Yipeee.

yeah, its the unfurling of the premiership flag won by Richmond last season.
They had over 70,000 members signed on for 2018 before Xmas! (A record)
So you can see why they are expecting an extra huge crowd, they usually get a pretty big crowd for this 1st game of the season (always Rich vs Carl), but this year it will be extra HUGE!
