Doubt we’ll be involved next year. 

 

Grouse, they should have a T20 as a curtain-raiser for each match.

They'll be 'meh'-ing all the way to the bank.

Hmm this doesn't sound like a good idea.

Such an honest waste of time…

Was happy enough to be involved this year. Even happier to be left out of it 2025.

The club needs to fly under the radar early next year after all the negative PR it’s copped for a long while now. 

Therefore I think it’s best we don’t participate in OR and risk the media sinking the boots into us if we lose yet another prime time game and further upsetting the fan base. Plus it does nothing for membership as the game would be interstate.

Another factor is that won’t be tempted to rush players back who aren’t ready, like we did with Spargo. 

A WC or GC on Sunday 1:10 at the MCG in round 1 proper would be ideal for the club .

Interesting (read odd) concept  but doubt we'll be involved next year.

Looking at the fixture Anzac day falls on a Friday last year, so there will be less fixture juggling at the start of the season.

So assume the big boys and exciting teams get sent up 

Yeah it was such a resounding success this year, why not keep it?!

The average punter hardly even knew it was on or that it counted for points

Round 1 is next week mate, why are they trying so hard?  lol

I think it was also mentioned they wanted a stand-alone game at the G on the Sunday during opening round.

In respect to public feedback .....'if I want your opinion, I'll give it to you'.

 

TV content and clean air against the NRL Vegas non-event.

The season is now boringly long IMO

Andy and Laura just love to do what the footy public doesn't like. Incompetent fools who are in positions they are not qualified for.

Was so great not knowing the real ladder positions until what was it round 10!!! Just an awful idiotic idea that I can't comprehend how anyone even thought of it, let alone pitched it to a room full of supposed smart people who signed it off

The boys on the Tackle last night were egging Melbourne to be one of the teams, setting us up for another media lashing.

The Petracca narrative.

The Oliver narrative.

The Goodwin narrative.

As I've said before, happy for the Dees not to participate in OR next year, and focus on a low key round 1 match up.

They also mentioned that Wild Card round probably won't be happening until Tassie come in.

 

 

The ONLY thing opening round should be for is to give us, the tigers, bombers and pies byes around anzac day (and their opponents before/after).

anzac day is a friday this year so thats moot

Yep, that was the only good thing about it - the extra bye.

Next they'll have an Opening Round Eve

That's Dillon's work done for the year. 

You beauty.  That leaves Koz sitting out only two more matches before he returns in Rnd 3!!!

Couldn't or couldn't be bothered to open the banner headline.

What is that about a new postcode?   2899 maybe.  They may like a few tourist $$ and a footy ground.

Like most Corporate highflyers they love to create noise, no matter how bad the idea.
