Geez, keep your shirt on bub.

1.  I didn't report it, SEN did.  I just posted a link to their article.

2.  The facts are as stated in the SEN article.  No "blasphemy" was committed.

3.  I know.  I never criticised the club.

I think you might need to go a have a Bex and a nice lie-down before you blow a gasket.

Not sure many would know what a Bec is Ds.

    I can’t imagine it would slow things down too much. Scanning the QR code at entrances is something we’re all used to now. Likewise, showing our vax certificate on our phones is something we will quickly get used to. 

    I did not experienced it but there was a problem for a number of the older members  getting tickets over the internet earlier this year to get into games. As this is a ticketed event I can see some problems ahead. Perhaps I expect too much and of course we don't know the conditions that will exist for this event. In this modern age of technology I would expect an easy system but that seems to have failed in the past.

    Fingers crossed this event is still happening? 🤞

    I reckon we could basically fill the MCG with Melbourne supporters.

    Then we could have a party-like atmosphere while we watch replay of the Grand Final and have player medal presentations and various speeches. Get lots of past players involved and make it a huge celebration.

    Have lots of singing of "Its a Grand Old Flag" as well as dancing too.

    The main thing I am hopeful of is getting a photo of my Dad and I both holding the 2021 Premiership Cup! That will be an incredible experience. Just gotta hope I don't turn into a blubbering mess when I burst into tears of joy! 😭

    I assume the club is waiting for the magic 90% double dose mark when crowd limits disappear in Victoria to make further announcements. 

    We are currently tracking to hit that around 21/11.

    We need some confirmation of the date pronto. I will have to decline a Christmas function for a club event this week on the assumption the 5 December Demon Celebration is happening. I will be [censored] if it doesn’t happen on that day!

    That would be a shopping centre one.

    Doncaster Shoppingtown  is on Sat night 6-8 pm I think  Haven't got the Friday date/s in front of me. 

    Sunday 5th will  be huge but hard for photos I imagine that's why I doubled  up!!

    Would be very interesting to be listen into the talks the club would be having with the Vic government regarding crowd size. I understand we do not want to make any promises we can't keep if somehow things don't work out as we hope for lessened restrictions. All going well, we will hit 90% double dose in a week and then we should make an announcement for 50K at the G or whatever they decide. should be interesting practice run for boxing day, there will be a lot of interest in the crowd and logistics

    Keep the afternoon of the 5th Free folks! it will be epic!

    I don’t have problems, I was just commenting on people who are from the older group who are not as tech savvy as others.  Just part of life in the 21st century. If you don’t have a smart phone life can be difficult.

    So long as people attending are double vaxxed, there shouldn’t be a limit set. 

    You are expecting sound logic DD fairly confident that does not always apply.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
