This week we have found out (on seperate nights) that apparently the water is all green and that you can't see from certain premium seats.

STILL NOT NEWS CHANNEL 9.

What? Melbourne's having a beer-drinking contest? Sounds like great TV.

Nah wouldn't happen. With all that "yellow" water, no one would go near it :D

If they did fill the pool with beer maybe they would be having better luck with ticket sales.

No, no, no dishy. He's talking about the fact nearly every pub in Victoria has Carlton on tap and why can't we fill up the pool with that instead of water.

I didn't know that Victoria was stricken with draughts. If this is the case, can't we just put those snake thingies under our doors?

Exactly. Couldn't agree more. How much did they spend on that stupid Comm games pool anyway? Surely it was for events like this??

I suppose it is 'government logic' - like Tony Abbott claiming that because his approved hike in health insurance prices is going up by less than recent similar hikes people are actually saving money.

Stupid swimming. And cross promotion or not I am sure it will rate through the roof.

My question is... why the f*#k are the "making" a pool and the Tennis centre when the Government just finished developing a world class swimming centre (used at the commonweath games) at Albert Park. Surely it makes more sense to hold it there. Even if the GP is on that pool isn't part of the GP event structure. People could still go to the swimming while the GP is on.
