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!

    Best to get family into gear to get for you if you don't understand  technology  !!

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
