oh bummer. i hoped it would work when the covid stuff settles down

In reference to what you have been saying the question I fired off was about reserve seat ticket holders getting access to their reserved seats and how to do it on your mobile membership. Is it going to be like last year getting online between such abd such hours to book a seat or can you get your normal seat pre arranged before the season starts. I too prefer the membership card but alas the one in the mail is not for access.

You sound like me wedded to a system that will never return dl4e.

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)

Agreed. Should have used this year to re-set the QB and Anzac Eve game. That way we can have one of these as a home game each year, rather than two in one year.

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

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

$200M extension to AAMI park for our facilities and HQ from what ive been told from those in the know.

Presumably at that cost it will be much more extensive than just our part of the deal

Tried to submit a question just a minute ago - message came back saying submissions closed. Perhaps because of all the garbage stories that came out over the last couple of days?

Not sure how you would manage this at club level. They will have deluged with questions about the new “scandal  â€œ and would be threatening  to overwhelm all the other good things that happened in 2021. To remove questions would be a scandal on its own, to allow them will mean nothing else gets any light.

An upside?

The new home news might get rushed through and announced.

I do not envy the organisers they are in a no win situation.

This could have been a very spicy meeting if it was an in person event.

How lucky are they that it is not DL. Much more control, you could blanket almost anything however I don't think that would be a good idea.

Lucky the spicy cough going around is preventing these in person events from taking place.

Keeps freezing. It’s incredibly annoying. 

Not my conn stuffing up then I’m glad to hear, was good listening too but will wait till it’s finished now and watch later. 


I forgot, and being an hour behind in FNQ, usual debacle....watch it tomorrow...

Me to Jontee.!!

I replied and submitted a question, but got no link... and forgot.

 

 

To me it was like a warm fireside chat, albeit seated at tables.  Are dee fans so satisfied that no 'curly' questions were raised?

Disappointed there was no update on training facilities.

It was good hearing Selwyn Grffith chat about his plan for fitness and it sounded like he would continue the Burgess philosophy of building 'physical resilience' in players to not always rest them from training and playing when they have an injury.  It was a key strategy in our successful 2021 season and flag.

Come on folks what did you really expect them to say about the HS article it has been answered by the club and that will be about it, as for the training venue that has been answered by Roffy numerous times when something is to be announced it will be made public, I understand the need to a final home base but that did not win us a premiership, people in the right places did coaching, development, board, players etc, they did alright out in Casey in the short term until they get back to Gosh's paddock with the new oval.

Do people expect a social club integrated in the new building what don't think thats going to happen.

Absolutely not and not sure how you inferred that I thought there should be comments on the HS articles. 

Last year's success does not remove our need and interest for progress updates.  Yes, we are told the state government will make the announcements.  Even then it wouldn't hurt the club to get some sort of overview/ big picture commentary from the state government.

It wouldn't hurt to be given some info as to what stage they are at.  eg What are the stages/project plan, in general terms.  Has the 'scoping' stage finished.  A loose 'time line'.  None of that is difficult and it would all be well known internally by now.

I asked a curly question LH.  I asked how members were supposed to make a decision on who to elect to the Board if candidates were only allowed to submit a 300 word description on their credentials.

When i logged on last night it kept freezing so I'll watch today.  I didn't expect an answer to my question but Roffey ducks anything hard.  I've lost a lot of respect for the Board.  Thank heavens the players have higher standards.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
