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.

    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?

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
