Would love to win this week and get in the eight, just to query those who said we as a solvent club, should be put in administration by the AFL.

I think Range Rovers can only hoot once.

Redleg Can you explain please I don't understand the above?

Do you mean "Insolvent " or "Irrelevant" ?

Sorry but I am lost

I meant even though we were solvent, yet because we lost a couple of football games, some were urging the AFL to take us over. It was just absurd to suggest it, if one had even the slightest knowledge of Corporate Law.

Is it just me, or is anyone else sick of the saturation Anzac day coverage of the same 2 clubs that play every year. It seems to be even more than GF week.

Also, why rave about the Anzac day medal, when only 2 clubs are eligible?

Probably because the two clubs did such a great job promoting the day that it finally became entrenched on the AFL's calendar.

There was a time when it was suggested that we promote the Melbourne - Sydney rivalry with a game on the evening of Anzac Day but nothing ever came of it. I think we need to be more proactive in developing such games.

[H_T 3,049]

I agree. I think there's an opportunity for 3 games on Anzac Day. I would suggest that the NZ game is kicked off first at around 12:00 our time (2pm NZ time). Then the Essendon v Collingwood game at the G at 2:40pm.

There is an opportunity for another game in the west (ie. Derby match Freo/WCE) OR in Darwin at night.

I think it might be worth the club pursuing the Darwin game at night on Anzac Day. Australians recall that Darwin was bombed by the Japanese during WWII.

This gives the AFL and clubs an opportunity to all play on ANZAC Day. With three games at three separate times with no overlapping. St.Kilda could play someone different every year. And Melbourne could play someone different every year in Darwin.

Three ANZAC medals given out gives the opportunity for all participants a chance to receive one if best on ground. Not just Essendon and Collingwood players + Dan Hannebery.

No I accept that it is entrenched on the AFL calendar, it is just the saturation coverage of these 2 clubs this week that annoys me. Yes it is Anzac day and a big crowd, but this is an 18 team competition and the winner still gets 4 points. I just think it is way over the top. However, I am sure their sponsors are delighted.

Redleg this is what happens when you are a power club of the competition.

Large supporter base, well performing teams and Lots of folding green.

Power creates money.

As much as it saddens me they deserve it.

The mfc are part of the minnows at the other end of the scale.

Start winning lots of games is the only solution and even then it would take a decade to be on

equal footing with these two.

Having a night game ANZAC Day in Darwin would make a sponsor(s) happy....

[Redleg 42,086]

In Healesville today and there is a great little cafe, that if memory serves me well, makes fantastic banana bread. Hopefully Mrs. Redleg will let me have a slice for lunch.

As long as it could be done so both teams have a proper break before and after the game so that their season is not compromised. I am talking about the future of course, as this season would not be compromised as it is already only about player development and a few wins at best.

How could you even think such a thing let alone say it on this thread?
