I just assumed it was allowed. No one else who’d paid $15 had an issue but that may’ve been because they didn’t know Geelong members were only paying $10.

I lodged a written 'please expalin' to the Kardinia Park Stadium Trust. Their response was :

"...

".....Thank you for your email. We appreciate your feedback and understand your frustration over the variance in parking fees for member and non-members.

We will include your concerns in our discussions with the Geelong Football Club in preparation for the 2023 ALF season, as they are the event organiser for AFL match days and determine the parking fees. The Trust does not make any income from the parking fees collected on ALF game days.

@GFC Memberships can you please pass onto your event management team.

Please reach out if you have any further concerns.

kind regards....."

Thus the GFC as the Event Organiser under the Kardinia Park Stadium's delegation by their Act can charge whatever they like. And our extra $5 is a direct donation to Paddy's contract fees

Given the elitist nature of the Cats re: pricing out ordinary folk I expect no change.

Direct action on Game day with media present and/or absolute boycott of the Crown Land carparks by parking in surrounding streets will probablay be most effective way of addressing this.

First cats home game is 22 April.

Worth a check then if anyone is in the vicinity.

and the silly thing about all this is the gfc strongly discourage opposition supporters by limiting numbers, so the number of opposition supporters' cars for parking would be even smaller. end result is a miserly handful of extra dollars

Shouldn’t it be 26? 🤔

We have an additional round this year so it’s 23 H&A matches.

You're right, you know. I'd forgotten about the extra game this year. 26 it is then!

Triplechins being duplicitous

a game being won/lost thanks to the intervention of poorly calibrated technology

a game being won/lost thanks to the intervention of poorly trained umpires

Bevo, Lyon, Simmo, Hardon, Scott, Scott, Clarko blaming a loss/poor season on everyone else except themselves

The usual suspects milking free kicks at every turn

Maysie flattening somebody/anybody then coming out and being BoG next game

Goody and Richo holding a 45 min. pressa and telling us absolutely nothing

Clayton winning the Bluey

Max will hit the post from five yards out directly in front

BT shuffling his ipod in the commentary box and asking Our Daisy to pick a tune.

2 down, 8 to go.

I thought this thread had been bumped by someone posting "and Steven May getting into trouble".

Which I guess I've just done.

It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

PREVIEW: Richmond

Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.
