    Mitchell and the Hawks were absolutely physically targeting our players in ways that were absolutely not legal. I get it, rough them up and be physical but it just looks so pathetic targeting players to hurt them.

    I was thinking the same, that's the way the old Hawthorn played, when Mitchell was in the side, it's not going to win a flag. It was as if they were trying to show the fans that they are a "hard it side" when in reality they are just snipers and target players when they are vulnerable. That hit on Max when he had disposed of the ball should have been reportable, but it wasn't, probably because Max got up.

  2. I was going to the game and left with plenty of time, from Coburg, to get to the G but the traffic was horrendous. I got to the G at 1.15 and was still in a traffic jam in Punt Road. 

    After spending 30 more minutes trying to get off Punt road I got on to Toorak Road which was just a wall of traffic, after sitting in my car for ten minutes' did a u turn and went home. If I found a parking spot, which I probably wouldn't have, by the time I got to the ground it would have been half time. Funnily the vehicle in front of me was a Bulldogs supporter bus, so that answers the question about where the Bullies supporters were.

    Mate if he played for Melbourne we would be saying something altogether different such as his regret for the accident, how he's devastated at what he has caused and that he accepts his aggression has to tempered in the future.

    In reality he may be genuinely remorseful..you don't know and  neither do I  .

    Put a sock in it and go for the AFL and their two faced self serving  response to most everthing.

    Maynard should have got 3 weeks minimum ( however they work it out) and the rules clarified.

    I imagine MFC will get very little joy from the system and trust that Gus will be around the Club in some shape or form while he moves on with his new career. 

    Ongoing best medical oversight is the least the AFL should provide

    If he played for Melbourne I would be disgusted with him, don't judge everyone on here by your own standards.

  4. I was at training last Friday at Casey and was super impressed by Windsor, he has got all the skills and does remind me of Whitfield, as someone commented on earlier. 
    it was a closed session and a bit more tactical than normal and the boys were a bit more willing. 
    Don’t ask me for a run down because I spent a lot of the time inside and missed a lot of the session. I did pay particular attention to the Duke.

  5. The family of one of my staff are dedicated Collingwood supporters and they have reserved seats for all home games, they just got their finals tickets, and they are sitting in the same spot they sit in every week.

    How does this work?  I have legends membership and sit in the same seats every week but when I went to get tickets I finished in the nose bleed section of the Warne stand.  Do Collingwood get some sort of preferential treatment?

  6. My son is trying to get seats for my family and had good ones, ground level behind the goals at the Punt Road end but he put the credit card in incorrectly and it rejected it and when he tried his own credit card it said those tickets have gone.

    That's one of the biggest problems with having an apostrophe in your last name, it refuses to recognize it.

    I’m not confident. Was a good win today but;

    Our talls at either end are uncertain. Disco didn’t lock down the spot. No idea what our best available forward mix is. We need as many talls as possible but also as much pace as possible as we’ll get exposed for transition pace if the Pies get to the outside.

    Hunter and Langdon both got killed by Gulden and consistently leave too big  a gap behind themselves in the zone with the half backs struggling to patch it up. Especially with Salo’s lack of speed.

    Gawn is a liability at centre bounces if he can’t win the hit out and we look slow and top heavy in there. De Goey’s power and Pendles ability to hold space for himself are both going to cause huge issues. Oliver showed some good signs today but isn’t exactly in peak form and Gus is now getting squeezed out and having his weaknesses exposed by being more in space.

    If the Swans kick straighter they might’ve had a match winning lead rather than 3 goals which would could peel back quickly.

    Strong win, good win, no big reason for optimism in to next week 

    Do you ever get excited?

    You do know we won, don't you?

  8. Kozzie was down on his haunches in the middle of the ground after the game, he seemed to be unable to get moving during it. I remarked to a few of the guys I was sitting with he looked out of sorts and when he didn't make the distance, kicking for goal from 40 metres out, he looked like he had no energy. 

    We had two players not make the distance from around the 40 metre mark, so maybe there is a virus going through the club. I've never seen Kozzie unable to chase like yesterday's game.

    Funnily enough after the Dogs game at the start of the season she mentioned the crowd. I then went to check the corresponding game that the Tigers played the Dogs the year before and the crowd size was almost identical. 

    I don't know why anyone bothers to listen to her, she only seems to be interested in potting clubs, us in particular, and the murkier side of AFL football. 

    I don't listen to her and can only go by what I read on here, but it certainly doesn't encourage me too. It's always a joy to beat Richmond,

    Most of the football commentators dislike Melbourne because we were a basket case for such a long time, and they seem to think our supporters lack passion and aren't prepared to go to games. Perhaps they should look at our attendance record this year; they may be surprised.

    Agree, great to see his commitment both in the signing and on the field. I've seen enough of his early skillset, scoring (albeit not recently), defensive pressure, one grab marking and fine delivery, etc to be happy.

    I do wonder where this places Jordon tho.

    Hopefully he will be the next one to sign, he doesn't get much love on here but is a very good player, IMO and we shouldn't lose him.

    What confuses me is that if a member with a reserved seat invited a guest (who pays etc etc) to the KB game my understanding is that both the member and the guest are given seats together but in another section of the ground.

    If that is the case the ‘original’ reserved seat is left vacant.  If many members take up this option this would leave plenty of prime viewing seats vacant. 

    I’m guessing that these are not somehow sold on.  Be good if general admission members were somehow given the opportunity to pay some sort of ‘premium’ and get a seat for the KB game. (Particularly so because from what I have read above quite a few GA members who have not reserved a seat won’t be able to attend)

    This way we would get more genuine demon supporters to watch the game and the club could financially benefit.

    Chances of this happening? I’m not holding my breath (but there’s plenty of time to do this is the club wanted to do this)

    I'm a legends club member and I have 6 seats, but I'm taking a group to the Presidents Club lunch, so my seats are going to be unoccupied and are not transferrable. You get seats as part of the lunch, pity but that's the way it is.

    Even at the Anzac game there were plenty of seats around me empty.

  12. I've been called a lot of things over my lifetime but none of it ever worried me, why give anyone the satisfaction of knowing they've got in your head.

    People are too precious now; they wouldn't have survived in the time when I grew up.
