  1. unbearable having to listen to McGuire and Brere Rabbiton...I watched with the mute on.

    Jackson's contentious free kick in front of goal....ruck block.......we know how many times Max was penalised for the same thing.....just extending his arm at centre bounces,

  2. Give it another few weeks and people will not tolerate the destruction of everything to 'save lives'.

    If this goes on for even 3 months then there will mass civil disobedience. 

    First to mass will be football fans united to demand the government call off the collective social suicide for our own good plan which is working a treat.

    I'm elderly...over 60 ....I would rather die than see my club go under.

  3. Our local league football presidents have met (YJFL) and said the AFL can't tell them what to do. They are being guided by the chief health officer brett sutton who says community sport can continue. Good on them. They are planning to start the comp on May 3. Same with VAFA and NFL, EFL and more.

    Tonights game was a big success.

    All  afl players played all of their junior and nab /tac cup games in front of (next to) no one...that is probably 10 years of footy in empty grounds....before they made the big time. No big deal.

  4. Darren Bennett at Windy Hill...last quarter . .......whenever it was......(.long ago)....I was behind the goals. Bennett kicked 4 or 5 goals from the 50 or further out. Each was a massive torpedo that went through post high....it was the most awesome display of power kicking I have ever seen.

  5. yep I was there with my dad a Richmond supporter. He was trying to get me to barrack for the toiges. In the early 60's the Toiges were a basket case. I would regularly rack off from the Punt Rd game and dash across the grass to the huge noise coming out of the mighty G to watch the all mighty Dees and then turn up back at Punt rd at the end of the game. By 1963 it was all over, the Dees were the power team of the comp and Dad had given up trying to convert me and I had my first Dees membership card in my pocket.I have it framed with my 1964 membership card and all the 64 finals tickets.

    Yeah Dean staged it, Mother Dean, that what dad used to call him, don't know why.

    Gosch's Paddock is large enough for Two footy ovals...  If the rectangular pitch is moved to another location.

    When the Punt Rd widening works start,  we could even build above and across Punt Rd to property on the eastern side of the road.? 

     

    ...  see 371 Punt Rd, the corner site.  https://www.google.com/maps/place/371+Punt+Rd,+Cremorne+VIC+3121/@-37.8250266,144.9878863,623m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x6ad64293f4738ffb:0x8adae4c4318d5e65!8m2!3d-37.8250287!4d144.9889806

    ...  This site,  we could build above and across Swan Street to abut the Richmond Station...

     

    ...  see also the Petrol station site,  399-411 Punt Rd   https://www.google.com/maps/place/399-411+Punt+Rd,+Cremorne+VIC+3121/@-37.8264328,144.9877542,623m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x6ad64296ad4bdc49:0xe81586c52c6c3b9e!8m2!3d-37.8264349!4d144.9888485

    ...  again we could build above and over Punt Rd having our buildings either side of Punt Rd.

     

    ...  and another possible site,  but further from the station...  449 Punt Rd...  https://www.google.com/maps/place/4%2F449+Punt+Rd,+Cremorne+VIC+3121/@-37.8284228,144.9883268,21z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x6ad64296d5861663:0x7ff4937bfe9fabe9!8m2!3d-37.8284228!4d144.9884636

    I still prefer  taking over the land across from from Gosch's Paddock,  112 -158 Olympic Blvd.

    ... the green space adjacent to the Richmond Station entry...  and the adjacent land, with the 4 Clay Tennis-Courts on it.   seen here. 

    >>>  https://www.google.com/maps/place/Goschs+Paddock,+112-158+Olympic+Blvd,+Melbourne+VIC+3004/@-37.8245843,144.9846351,1247m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x6ad642943affc621:0xb57f9feca28eebda!8m2!3d-37.8245886!4d144.9868238

    Love to get your preferred option DV, how many tennis courts do we need? Presumably owned by the state govt and leased to tennis australia? (or something like that) How to get it...? The Punt rd options we just buy. 

  7. The triangle of land at the S E corner of Goschs. This can be greatly enlarged by putting the freeway off ramp that connects to punt rd underground. There is any amount of money available for tunnels at the moment so lets go for it.

    Another solution for those nay sayers ..ie it would be too expensive, well we could do it with pick and shovel. We have 40k members and we could all volunteer, bring a wheel barrow and shovel each, it would only take a a couple of weeks with 40,000 of us singing the club song and digging.

  8. The triangle of Land at the back of Goschs bordered by Punt Rd and Citilink...why are are we not trying to get that? You could build a big building there without much opposition....?  I mean like 6 stories no worries. Plus you could build over the on /off ramp that take citilink traffic on to punt rd. This building if you have a look would be as big as the space currently occupied by the Holden centre. ......and the Holden centre is not 6 stories.

    Goschs is a great place to train and as close to the G as you'll ever get. I like Goschs a lot.

  9. A six storey building in Yarra Park is an impossibility. In the drawing I have seen this 6 story building extends beyond the rail line into Yarra park and would eliminate the playgrounds that are currently there. A big building like this  would be a total eyesore and as much as I love the club I don't want to see this building towering over Wellington Pde and blocking the view of the ground and Park......nobody does except....us? Frankly the whole idea is an embarrasment and I just can't understand how this can be seriously entertained.

  10. The Yarra Park proposal really has not one chance in hell of ever getting up. Really as much as I would love to be in Yarra Park.

    We would be better off looking to build at Goschs and stay there. If we could demolish AAMI Park that would be ideal. Surely it is clad in flammable aluminium or something.

    There must be some genius who can work out how to build at Goschs.

  11. Look at the filths use of Cox at CHF. They just kicked under 12 marking practice drop punts to him.

    The 'new' marking rules, no blocking, arm chopping, mean he was unbeatable. Even 196 cm backs can't get a fist to the ball.

    Next year Danahier will kick 50 goals plus and is the reason Essendon are rated for 2019.

    I reckon our cunning plan for 2019 is to play Max in the Cox role. Who will kick Hogans 40 plus goals next year? Max. Preuss to do a lot of rucking, Max gets to be a key forward and extend his life.

    Height and weight is critical. Let's see the Weid with the build of the OX or Neita. He has been eating up and doing weights so bring on next year.

  12. Thanks Beelz....Do you think we should get out the money costumes we made for Scully and wear them again when we see Jessie at the G?

    I guess no because I never really loved Scully....but Jessie ..to me he was a Jesus who smoked the odd dart.
