A lot of people go through "Fence Issues" its called Age. Going through a few myself! Best invest in a new Fence rather than haggle over a repair job I reckon! A new fence gives renewed hope, a touch of optimism and knowledge that in times of Tornado type winds, Blistering sun and Fierce rain a good "Fence" will endure and create a good vibe!

Same with our footy team !!!

We make finals this year and I continue to shell out my hard earned! Gutted last year!

Be careful, your missus might invest in a "new Fence"!

Today I renewed 14 family memberships and signed up 3 new family members. You can add 17 to the 2018 tally.

Driving to Traralgon and got one of those pesky call centre calls. I said who is it and the caller said Clayton Oliver. I told him he was doing a great job doing a membership drive and our family were

If we make finals, lots will buy in order to get tickets.. those who were burnt last year

tickets to the finals are in the main easily got except for the GF and buying a normal membership is really no help in getting a GF ticket. For example in the first few weeks of the finals AFL members can normally buy 5 guest tickets.

Melbourne v Richmond in a prelim final is probably the only scenario that would get close to a sell out.

Got 2 tickets to the GF a couple of months back, hopefully sell them to rabid Tiges mates for $5k a pop haha. Or even better, we make it there.

I guess we already know what type of fence you'd suggest.

Hope you get that from your mates but the AFL are getting serious regarding scalping in today's paper. About time. If Tiges miss and the Pie's make it - charge double to your Pie mates. Haha

Yeah they say that every year but you never hear any stories (well I don't). I'll probably give them away anyway.

Also, a Pie supporter is no friend of mine mate!

I know a bloke who paid $6,000 for the 2016 GF ticket, he got to see his side win though.

Priceless.

It’s got me stumped granted we have had sweet FA success in recent times but how does Richmond have so many members? Obviously winning a Premiership helps big time but in the last 37 years they have been one of the most least successful sides going around??

Huge success in the 60’s and 70’s when TV Replays first started. 

Richmond were always on. Families stuck. 

When i was a kid the Footy Replay was HUGE. 

Before recording capabilities, you only had the one chance to watch...

I don't mean this flippantly, but traditionally strongly supported by Irish catholic families in the 1920s, 30s and 40s. Hence, lots of children leading to a large population to draw from. Similar for Collingwood, too.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
