So we play Colonwood as our home game every second year, OK, then we choose to play Essendon or Carlton every other QB. Colonwood can have QB eve against Gold Coast in Darwin. Fixed, thanks Eddie.

As you correctly note it may have to be the runner up.

I have no problem with this at all and it was a generous offer in the first place.

It should start as of 2018 as we have the home game v the Tigers which will then alternate.

Would this mean the MFC take the cash made from The Ponsford Stand Stad as well?

the Filth do make money on QB as it stands

I hope all information is shared before decisions are made

The Filth aren't being totally fairs-fairs about this :unsure:   As some suggest. Put all the revenues on the table Eddie !! 

Never been anything dodgy about this crew...ever !!  :rolleyes:

My fervent hope is Jackson is only too aware of  this lot. I'm sure he is.

Eddie is looking for some victories as his beloved club is currently shlte

And to save his own neck dc. Divert attention is his big go.

He has managed to arrange for winning GF team to be unwound starting with the coach to the point now where they are now a rabble. No other club in the competition would take that from their President. 

Well I guess we are talking Collingwood so anything is possible.

As long as they relinquish The Ponsford Stand revenue i will agree with you, They make good $$$ on QB as it stands, they just keep it quiet...

They throw us a crumb as some sort of magnanimous gesture, to show they want to even things up, but as soon as we start to get on our feet, they show just how hollow their gesture is. 

They don't want it too even.

The other thing about this which no-one's mentioned yet is that a maggot home game will mean the crowd will probably be bigger. This will give the match more credibility in the footy calendar.

On years where it's there home game and we only play them once we get an extra game at the g compaired to now, not a bad trade off and presumably a reason why they gave up the home game in the first place

Surely going by your logic that the crowd on the weekend is an indication of how big our club is then the same logic would suggest that they are an even smaller club.

I don't for a second suggest we are the size of Collingwood, but we are bigger then people think. I was simply pointing out the error in linking the crowd at one game with the size of the club.

I think the whole discussion is somewhat academic. I'm convinced the Queen's Birthday public holiday will expire when Her Majesty does.

So I support the earlier suggestion of moving the MND Big Freeze to an Essendon game and turning that into a home grown blockbuster event.

Unless we turn into a Republic, there will be a monarchbas HOS.

After Liz it's most likely a lad. Therefore it'll be the KB weekend.

Even if we don't become a republic the public holiday will not automatically continue as Kings Birthday on the second Monday in June. I see it as a golden opportunity for whoever is in power at the Federal level to inaugurate a new public holiday for a much more worthy cause than to celebrate a monarch's birthday...when it isn't even remotely near the date of that monarch's birth. I'm not wishing to start an argument on the merits of a particular example, but the Prime Minister could easily replace Kings Birthday with a day which is more relevant and for something not only more worthy of recognition but relatively easy to gain community support for.

Ok .... I'll try to spell it out for you
If we got everyone that called themselves Collingwood supporters and everyone that that called themselves Melbourne supporters and lined them up side by side.

Their line would be at least 2 times longer than ours.
Probably 3.

Yeah, well we'll take the home team slot for Anzac Day then, for the seasons we are the away team on Q'sBd.

It's funny..  I married into a family full of these filth. I will cede though they are reasonable measured and coherent and strangely have own teeth ( well except for .....)  but a a Melbourne supporter I endured no end of jokes and ribbing.

We had intended to go as a bit of a group to the QB game but events conspired to prevent that . We now have take TWO to occur for the last H/A game.   For some incalculable reason the numbers are dropping off !! :unsure:

Only a couple of stalwarts ( i.e those that could make up an excuse quick enough ) are still coming along.

Nothing quieter than a Pie during a bad season..Even the Toiges...you can hear them zapping their cards !! :rolleyes:

Oh I know that feeling. No commitment for the final round from any of my Pies family members. They all might be busy!! Ha ha.

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
