3183 Dee 2,917 Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 It’s preaching to the choir, but we have a chance on Friday to give a proper send off to Ben Brown and Alex Neal-Bulleen, as well as sticking one up the Pies. Let’s get as many of us there as possible - I have 3 General Admission tickets which I will pass on at no cost for anyone who doesn’t have a membership and is thinking about going or maybe wants to take some friends. Send me a pm - first in, best dressed. 12 7 1 Quote
Wodjathefirst 2,671 Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 After our great performance last week, Jack staying a Demon for life and strongly encouraging supporters to rock up, why wouldn’t you? Next time we play after this Friday is a long time away. 8 Quote
thirty-one 236 Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 Also honouring Hassa Mann if I remember correctly. Can't get there, the commute from Seattle is a bear. 24 hours of travel, 16 in a tin can rattling over the Pacific plus connections. Nice offer 3183 Dee. 2 Quote
Jibroni 5,057 Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 Its Nibblers last game with us, he deserves a farewell to remember. 7 3 Quote
Deestar9 1,855 Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 I so hope everyone who can go ..goes. As I’m oft criticised for being an “optimistic supporter “ and would go anyway …let me say that the feeling you get when you get a win that we’re not expected to get or been under the pump media wise (which seems to be most of this year) is just incredible. But win or lose ANB & BBB deserve a good send off so.. Go Dees 1 Quote

Rab D Nesbitt 8,955 Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 But.....weather and....buses and....stuff. 6 Quote
DubDee 26,674 Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 Love ANB but he is walking out on us. He has always put in 100% and i don’t begrudge him leaving but no emotional send off from me when he could delay his decision if he wished. I know it’s family reasons and that is admirable but still, many players and families make sacrifices. Happy to cheer on those staying and fighting when the going is tough though like our Captain and VC 2 1 Quote

He is doing the right thing by his family and the club and is an absolute champion. 9 5 1 Quote
leave it to deever 17,618 Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 A chance to see another Mfc player have his career altered by a cwood player. But that aside worth giving Anb and Bbb a good send off . Maybe bbb could give Maynard a goodbye tap. 1 Quote
Demonsterative 3,021 Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 @Doug Reemer, sorry bud. I just can’t be fagged going this week either. That’s my excuse 🤔😤😳😂😂🤓🤓 Wrong Thread I now but hey, why not. I’ll see myself out back to my lounge room 😬😬 Quote

Like I said, I don’t hold any ill will against him but he could stay if he wanted The club helped make him the man he is today and now he is in the form of his career. I would have liked him to continue to repay the club Quote
At Least I Saw a Flag 5,353 Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 (edited) I go to virtually every Demons match at the G. But going to filth matches absolutely does my head in ... the filth team, coach and supporters make me (figuratively speaking) sick. So I won't go to any of their matches ... grand finals included. (I've been to every MCC GF since 2004 but didn't go last year ... thankfully.) So, sorry to all, I won't be there. Please cheer a bit louder to cover my absence.

There are quite a few reasons why someone might need to be around family when a new or young family. Sure it's not great for MFC and Nibbler prob wishes he could a one club player but tbh if it's the health and wellbeing of my family or a job... It's not even a 2 second decision. 2 3 Quote

Skuit 10,031 Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 Just looked at flights. The cheapest I could find on a single return ticket was for a 60-hour round-trip leaving tomorrow for just $3693.79, if anyone has spare coin. I'll buy the luker-warm Kentfield hot-dogs. 1 Quote

Absolutely if there are serious health/family issues we don't know about that changes things, I was just talking on face value based on what we do know Quote
