  1. I have no issue with there being 19 teams moving forward as the competition has already been compromised to within an inch of it's life. We now have states being invited to outbid each other for their local teams to get additional home games whilst simultaneously all their competitors have to travel interstate. I actually love the club colours and logo but would only go with the state jumper during heritage rounds perhaps.
  2. North should apply to be their VFL side to keep it an 18 team competition.
  3. Tennents Lager are going to love the free publicity on the the guernsey. Horrible drink btw.
  4. So basically their state jumper then. I thought they might go without the map and keep it for state representative football. Other than that the colours and logo look great.
  5. Hi OD. My bad then if there were NRL games being played. I don't usually listen to AFL waffle but maybe I was hoodwinked on this occasion.
  6. All good. As I said I'm pretty relaxed about who we are as a supporter base and how many of us turn up on a game day. I actually found the Hamish Blake & Ryan Shelton video last year pretty funny. I don't think our president needs to keep labouring the point though. Personally, when I hear people with top end memberships at our bigger supporting rivals say they only have access to a ballot for GF tickets I feel blessed that I follow the MFC. Bigger isn't always better.
  7. Hi Tracca. I've seen every reason / excuse under the sun being used as justification for our crowds not being more reflective of our membership tally. From 7:20pm on a Thursday night until 3:20pm on a Sunday, whether it's too hot, cold or wet to the wrong mode of transport (usually bus) to a lack of technological prowess. Whether it's too early due to kids sports or too late for school the next day. My bingo card is full.
  8. Hi Woey. I hear what you're saying and I'm perfectly comfortable with our reality. Of the 40k that turned up to the SCG last week around 5% might have been Dees. They were going to get 40k against almost anyone in a week where there were no NRL games, so wasn't really a reflection of our drawing power, in my opinion. We're a boutique sized club with an upwardly mobile supporter base that has numerous options to choose from on any given weekend. When we do choose to visit the G were more polite than raucous. All this is fine. We are who we are. I'd rather be happy in our own skins than waste energy trying to be something we're not.
  9. It was pretty convivial aboard my Watergardens train post game. They know we own them. We know we own them. What's to argue about?
  10. First and foremost. It is OUR HOME GROUND. That's why we play there. I also thought the attendance was poor. Let's say there were 10,000 Doggies supporters there. That means around 40% of our supposed 75,000 membership turned up to watch our opening home game. Both sides have also won flags in the last eight years and are mooted as top four contenders. Could you imagine only 40% of season ticket holders turning up at Anfield / Old Trafford / Ibrox / Celtic Park for any game?
  11. Agree. I sit in N53 on that level and although it's nice to have a big screen to look at whilst you're in line for a drink the lack of a carpet give it the acoustics and feel of a large cafeteria. The new media area has blocked a great view of the ground when the weather is bad.
  12. I didn’t see that GtG. Will have to check out the replay.
