It must be cheaper to tape in this old venue instead of a TV studio. There are dirty bathrooms and a small cash only snack shop. There is alot of sitting around waiting before you actually enter the studio. No cell phones/electronics are allowed! Large purses are also not allowed so leave in car. Parking is free in the back of the Civic Center where the entrance is.

A priority ticket (if available) will guarantee you get in, otherwise you will wait in line and see if there is availability. Tickets are free to attend and available online. In talking about his parents, it was what Jack did not say that was instructive, refusing to engage in an 'immature' tete a tete via the media.Attended a 12:30 taping. Milestone games are usually happy occasions where players get to reflect on the contribution of their family, though in Jack's situation that was no longer possible, at least publicly, after his mother Donna aired her disappointment on social media at what she perceived to be her son's snubbing. The Swans, as has been their custom when major stories break about them, chose to attack the issue front on, and they would have been extremely proud in the manner in which Jack conducted himself in front of an unusually high media turnout for one of their training sessions.Īs he has done consistently throughout his 199-game career, Jack did not shirk the issue as he addressed the family feud that has split one of Sydney's most famous football clans.

Sydney Swans skipper Kieren Jack is to play his 200th game this weekend amid a bitter family feud. Last year it centred on their biggest names - Adam Goodes and Lance Franklin - and now the spotlight is on their captain Jack, who instead of celebrating his 200th game finds his name in the headlines for an off-field matter he would rather keep private.Īs the son of a rugby league great and a star of not considerable profile in his own right, Jack must have known it would be inevitable details of the rift between him and his parents, that has been building for 12 months, would emerge, though it still would have come as a shock when they eventually did. Sydney are set to play one of the most important games of their season but Jack's week has been spent dealing with a family feud rather than working out how to stop the Dangerfield-Selwood show at Geelong.įor the third time in less than a year, Sydney are embroiled in turmoil not of their creation. Kieren Jack has played on some of the biggest names in the game - Gary Ablett, Chris Judd and Ben Cousins to name a few - but it's doubtful he has come across a more uncomfortable scenario than what confronts him now.
