First 40,823 emails: "Something something HOME BASE something...."

I understand that after all these years wanting a home base for the football club but how many time has Kate Roffey said that things are progressing behind the scenes but cannot comment on it at this time, we will let the members know as soon as we can, that will be the same answer again.

[Demons1858 1,760]

They certainly won't announce anything before the vic government does ... take that to the bank

Hahahahahaha! 😂 Yes! Exactly!

Dear Kate Roffey, when will our new Home Training Base be built? Asked at least 50,000 times!

I am all for contributing to a future fund as long as it gets bloody built!

There will be one nuffy in the middle who complains about something ridiculously minor that only they're interested in.

The length of Simon’s new contract?

No more physical membership cards?

The seats they got for the grand final replay in December?

Have we got space in the trophy cabinet for this years' cup?

We're going to need to renovate.

We're lucky enough to have a coach that has participated in back to backs as a player (excl M Voss/J McCrae/Mitchell who I treat as a newby senior coaches way outside the Flag window) .

I asked the question about what he learnt from that experience then that will help him/the Club now to achieve the 2022 flag.

Not so far… :)

[Clintosaurus 7,843]

Surely 40,000 plus e-mails asking about Dogga's contract?

[Demons1858 1,760]

Might be good to understand why the QB clash at the MCG is a Collingwood home game in 2022, given we haven't been able to play there the last 2 years?

If we count 2022, in the last 4 years Collinwood will have played 2 QB home games at the MCG (~$2mill revenue) and we haven't played any (probably generating a loss for games interstate)

That's actually a valid question.

I definitely prefer physical membership cards but I can deal with a mobile phone digital membership I guess....

However, what about elderly MFC members or those who don't have Smart Phones? My Dad is 73 and has no clue how to set up a digital membership.

Just because we have all this technology doesn't mean we should be forced to use it in every aspect of our lives.

[Clintosaurus 7,843]

Not the club's call on physical membership cards going.

Nicely put Supreme Demon. Much appreciated. I’m 73 also and have a Demon supporter in my street who will help me in March when the Club gets the bar codes. While I’m here my favourite reads are the Post Grand Final thread, the training reports and now on Game Plans a couple of members explaining to me what went on in that 3rd quarter.
