They say when Collingwood is involved they sell more papers but that means more paper for the budgie cage bottom.

When is it please.

Welcome back.

I wonder how many votes Cripps would have if he was correctly pinged for all the throws he does. I know others do it but he seems to be the master of throws.

I have just read that Albo has set aside $600m for the NRL to include a Papua NewGuinea team. Seems to me there's plenty of money going around from Canberra. Tap into it Dee's.

How much money has been given to Geelong from both Federal & State governments to build "Taxpayer Park". Not sure how much they provided but there was talk of around 300m. I'm sure someone will be able to access figures to verify.

Agree 100% with you. Pathetic decision almost as bad as earlier instead of a free to Hogan, play on and the ball was kicked off the ground for a point. They will be kicking themselves after being 44 points ahead at one stage. Reminded me of the Dees being around the same against "the druggies" and they beat us decades ago. Still hurts.

I have a MCC/MFC membership and have just renewed. 63 consecutive years as a MFC member. Seen a lot of highs and a lot of lows but it's my club. I feel for those with families and other committments that are making them question wether to renew. Those running the club really need to have a long hard look as to where the club is heading. Big reality check is needed NOW.

I actively will not watch a "druggies" game, unless we are involved but needing a toiley break at 2:30 this morning I snuck a look at the phone & had a big smile. So big a smile that I stayed up, strong coffee and are watching the replay on Fox. Tired? Never. Can go back to bed later. What a start to the weekend. Global outage for the "druggies".

Their Halloween banner. All's that missing is a spider.

So the AFL approached Scott from Essendon to explain why they never received free's rather than the club approaching the AFL for clarification. Haha. Egg on face AFL. Just watch Essendon get an armchair ride of free's against the Woods on Friday.

No. They sent a letter by plane. No fuel, so cancelled flight.

So if the "suit" upstairs calls decisions, and if he is working to the TV vision, then he should be calling throws as well as non disposal of the ball. It's clear to us watching. I have been saying this for years about the "fifth umpire" and cannot believe that club officials are in the dark about it. Yet another nail in the coffin for me attending/watching games. Don't take us/me as fools AFL. You will lose us.

Unable to go yesterday as recovering from a nasty operation. I see 37,500 were there but viewing the game there seemed very few St Kilda supporters there. They really seem reluctant to travel to our game.

Well the good news tonight is that the pies Cox is out for at least a month. Hate the way he just drives his knee into Max and others. Grub.

The StKilda boo boys/girls did not travel from "Mickey Mouse Stadium" so clearly the umpires were not affected.

No I was refering to the Northern Stand by the race. Red Seats area.

I stand corrected.

That banner was painted using a reversal vacuum cleaner at a mates place. Some of it stayed on the footpath and his Dad was not happy. One year playing Essendon we has so much paper that four days later the wing on their dung heap was still covered and their players were running through the mess bending down to scoop handfulls up. Picture was printed in the Herald Sun. Boy we laughed hard with that one.

As well as machine & toilet rolls. Embarrased to say, one match cheer squad members emptied many toilets of paper to be thrown up. Was asked to a meeting with Jim Cardwell after that one. Never again.

Don't forget lugging the banners to and from the ground. Lived along side the railway line and after a wet Saturday would hang the banners on the railway wire fence. Lot's of toots from the train drivers. If we didn't sleep over on Friday night we always caught the 5am train. They always waited for us while we got the banners & huge bags of cut up paper on board. We were young and fit then. Haha

I think you mean the Northern stand. In the 60's we were behind the Richmond end goals.

Yes.

Sure do. Heaps of fun. Set up one year in the G then we all raced up to the Southern Cross to see the beatles. So many more stories.

The only positive is that it will be dry heat.
