  1. I have 6 tickets, Bay Q9 Level 4 Row D seats 15 - 20 that I don't need, I'm going to the AFL function so rather than have them go to waste I'm happy to offload them for face value $428.30 if anyone is interested.
  2. 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?
  3. Good on him, we hear about all the young kids at other clubs and how good they are, but the commentators never praise our boys. I'm sick of the praise heaped on Hawthorn youngsters, it's harder to break into a top club and hold your position than it is to get a game in a [censored] club like Hawthorn.
  4. My son finally got some tickets, but they are in the Warne stand in section Q and I think that's near the top, so not great. Got 6 so that may be why I couldn't get better.
  5. 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.

    Do you ever get excited? You do know we won, don't you?

    Remember how divided Demonland was when we had to choose between him and Clarrie. I'd say if we can fit him in, we should try.

    What about the coach, itโ€™s gotta be Simon.

    Bluey Adams won 6 flags with the demons
  10. They were best mates. Since Darcys been out injured, Dogga has been really good, there's only room for one of them, maybe they'll trade Darcy?
  11. I was speaking to Kate Roffey at a club function and she said Riv really loves the club and can't see him wanting to go anywhere else.

    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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.

    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.

    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.

    Webjet I was Jeremy Howe's sponsor and I've got a few Jumpers and Photos of him from 2012 onwards.
  18. Dan would have got someone else to boo for him and then denied any knowledge of asking them.
  19. I went to the season opener function and Kozzy was at the next table to me, he had a queue of people wanting their photo taken with him, I was one, and he never refused anyone, he is such a delightful guy. So glad he has settled this early on so we don't have to go through the same rubbish we did last year with Dogga and a few years before with Jesse. He is one of the reasons you go to the football, it's amazing to see him in full flight.

    Brodie loves it at the Melbourne footy club, he loves everything about the club and he will play his heart out for the club. He's coming back from a long layoff and like all players that have been out for a lengthy period, it will take time for him to regain fitness and let's not forget he has to adapt to a new game plan. He's played better than Dogga was playing last year and will only get better. He's an exceptionally good player and we will probably see the best of him in the second half of the year.
  21. I hope he kicks a few, he has talent and can play in multiple positions. He played well against Jackson last year and had the better of him in the ruck and when Jackson went forward.
  22. The younger brother is a smooth mover and looks a natural forward, I donโ€™t think he will go late in the draft. We can load up on key forwards and backs and trade in a good key position player, later, when we need one.
  23. I was privileged to be at the pre draft briefing the year that Jackson was drafted and saw some footage that hadn't been released, I was gobsmacked by the talent he had, I think there were a few other posters on here that were there too. He did look like a generational talent and when we got him I was over the moon. He did look the goods early on but I just don't think he grew, he has a bag of tricks but he reminds me of, as they say, Jack of all trades but master of none. He should have, for his own sake, either stayed with us or gone to West Coast, he will always be behind Darcy. At best he will be a middle of the road forward and back up ruck. Good luck to Luke, he did lift at the right time in 2021 and helped us win a flag but I wonder if his real contribution matches the legend, irrespective he will go down in history as a Demon Hero.
  24. Went to the game with my son and his two daughters, 16 and 14 and they brought a friend each, the younger friend is a mad Tigers supporter, her whole family are. She was really good during the game and bless her little heart, clapped and sang our club song at the end of the match.
  25. My view is that if we can take any opportunity to remember and respect the sacrifices made by the men who lost their lives in this horrible conflict then we should. Is it your view that we should only give a [censored] on one day a year? I personally feel a chill when everyone turns their lights on, and the ceremony begins and if ever you go, I'm sure you would understand what I'm saying. Can we trade you for an actual MFC supporter?
