Vince McMahon would have been nothing without Hulk Hogan, who cares.

You see how dangerous it is to make sweeping statements like Eddie's? If it wasn't for the late 1890s depression there would be no CFC, that depression built that club and they would be nothing without it, people should not underestimate it.

From a Melbourne perspective the Ponsford thing doesn't bother me. We wouldn't fill it anyway so it doesn't really impact us. If we get to the stage where we can pull big home crowds then it will be an issue (as it is and should be for Richmond) but until then let them have it.

What annoys me though is they get the home change rooms regardless of whether it's a home game or not. Might seem like a small/insignificant thing but if it is then why do they request it? It's a mindset that they are the home club regardless of fixture so in effect they are getting 14 home games a year with the Ponsford seating/change room deal. Good on them for being able to wrangle that but surely it's time the MCC put a stop to it.

Oh and by the way Eddie Collingwood members did not build the southern stand, AFL members were the ones contributing funds to help build it.

Collingwood are on the defensive because they are trying to salvage a deal which clearly benefits their members. That in itself is fine. 

Its the recreating of history that I strongly object to. Collingwood knows they do not have a real claim to the G, and had nothing to do with the construction of either stand (which were constructed for the '92 Cricket World Cup and '06 Commonwealth Games respectively), other than moving home games there. They cannot compete with the 160 odd years of history the Dees have with the MCC and ground.

The most frustrating thing is their supporters read this stuff and believe it...

This whole narrative should be motivation for every Dees fan to get to King’s Birthday this year and ensure we completely outnumber the scum bags. Seriously had it up to here with Collingwood rewriting history. Last week Kelly said they were the first MCG tenants, now this garbage from old big head Eddie. It’s our turf, time to let ‘em know

Our players and coaches need to take responsibility to actually go out and win the game too. Our shocking record against Collingwood is probably the biggest knock on our current era.

Breath taking in its arrogance. And the MCC members? What were they doing all those years?

An utter crock served up by CK and EM.

And that's without mentioning the Cain Government which oversaw the Southern Stand rebuild by offering loan guarantees. I remember John Cain fretting over what the public would think when they realised the stand would hang over Brunton Avenue. (They hardly noticed)

Yep, and our club needs to own the day and make members aware of the importance of being the 19th man. Time to get it done

you are definitely correct.. the old Southern Stand was built in 1936-37.

For its day it was a great build with the new Southern stand not being that much of an upgrade when compared to the new Northern stand that replaced the old Northern stand which was itself newer than the old Southern stand

Did someone in this thread really say I should be appreciative of McGuire giving us home QB for a few years?

Ridiculously favourable draws, far less travel, etc. they got enough breaks to throw a few bones out.

This historical revisionism is vile, nearly up there with those Americans that say “we never talk about the ‘good’ slave holders?!”

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
