Why You Should Wait Until After Trade Period Before Printing Calandars



Recommended Posts

Posted

I think the question should be Why do we need footy calendars at all. The kids are into ipads these days so I think their day has passed.

btw the Collingwood calendar is probably worse than Norths

Never thought I'd go without a watch but haven't worn one for the last five years.

Calendars are so last century

For those who are into such things perhaps you could sell a digital wallpaper that changes by the day or month that could be used as a screensaver for your TV or computer/phone.

I'm looking at buying one of the Samsung Art TV's that make the TV look like a picture when off. Not sure I'd want a 70" grinning Gawn on my wall though.

Surely nobody buys one of these for themselves. The market has to be 99% throwaway Christmas gifts and Kris Kringles.

...with him holding the premiership cup aloft.  I think I'd almost get an A0 size framed poster for every room.

If I got a 2021 Collingwood Callander from a KK with Treloar in it, I would rate it as the best Christmas present ever

To be fair, you could ask that question over many things available for sale. The better question is, if someone believes there is a market for this product (and presumably there is), why can't they find a way of witing to print said calendars after the trade period concludes?

I agree about calendars being out of date.,  ?.

Years ago I asked the marketers at the MFC to stop sending me scarves (you know the ones, the ones pictured flowing out of a dumpster one year). I suggested they send out just the year every season as a patch to add to one of the 30 odd scarves I already have.

This would be a far more attractive scarf with a line of years on it rather than trying to come up with a new design each and every year. LESS WASTEFUL TOO. But they were having none of that. As a supporter - you know, the person who pays towards keeping the machinery operating - you'd hope to be listened to. I don't know why I thought that!

Anybody who wants to support this idea could contact the club....................   (I 'm not sure they pay much heed to Demonland though, unfortunately.)

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
