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.

NON-MFC: Round 02
NON-MFC: Round 02

The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

PREVIEW: Fremantle

The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

REPORT: St. Kilda
REPORT: St. Kilda

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
