The Tippler on Wellington Parade is probably where the more discerning of our supporters end up. I've seen Rod Grinter and some of the past players group in there a few times and Hamish Blake once. I've made a decision not to go pre-game this season though as they introduced a $50 non-refundable credit card payment to book a table last year which can be a bit of a mare if your plans change at the last minute. No such problems after a game though.

LOL, Richmond 2nd. I find her ok but let's face it, it's a really low bar.

Wow. That's a bargain then. Particularly considering who our opposition are in those three home games. Might partly explain how we've hit the 50,000 so early too.

They’ll need to do another one at the end of July for the 3 game $13 ‘membership’ that’ll get us to 75,000.

Dundee's nickname is the Dees. Aberdeen takes it's name from the river Dee but they are known as the Dons after the river Don. Both of which run through the Granite City. BTW I also hate the music played after a goal and between each quarter.

So lucky to have this guy as our leader and an ambassador of our club. Makes me smile every time I listen to him.

Buses on the entire Sunbury line that weekend might stymie the opposition attendance numbers. Considering they have only had an intra club hit out and a practice match against North I wonder if they could be a little underdone for this game.

Life in second gear 😎

The porta-loos down there would be like getting into a sauna on a day like this.

Big crowd. Hope we're charging Richmond supporters to get in.

Well, that’s excellent news then. It also means there will be fewer flights coming over my house.

Hi Redleg. I'm not prepared to pay $1 to Rupert Murdoch to view the article but I'm pretty sure that the new runway will run north to south and further west than the current runway so it's hard to see how that will affect The Hangar (unfortunately). Brimbank Council said the increase in air traffic would adversely affect the health of it's residents but wiping out a facility where Essendon supporters congregate would surely balance things out.

Deary me. And they thought Belgian colonisation was bad!

"I understand that as an AFL player, I have standards I need to meet and, on this occasion, I have fallen well short of the standards expected of me as a footballer and as a representative of Collingwood." LOL.

This just popped up in my youtube recommendations. It's Will Schofield of the Eagles & someone called Dan Const talking to Max. If you want to hear the story about him smoking a dart on the way to training or working at Domino's etc for the hundredth time then I've added the link below.

60,000 puddle drinkers celebrating at the Toilet Bowl. Thanks for the reminder BDA!

Cleveland Browns not much better. Neither as bad as green & white hoops though 🤮

To get from AAMI Park to Gosch's we could do as the Green Bay Packers do and have the players ride the bicycles of their young fans between Lambeau Field and the practice ground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeSI-MkplpE

The club will announce a 2023 target of 70,000 then sell just enough 3 game $13 memberships at the back end of the season to make sure we reach it. Simples.

Could they at least disclose that a non disclosure agreement is preventing them from disclosing anything?

Hi ManDee. I actually have a lot of time for them and having lived there for a lot of years find so many little things about them endearing and their countryside to die for. This is perhaps on an individual rather than a collective sense but even so it means there's a helluva lot of individuals there that I like. What I find frustrating however is when they ask for justification for reasons that make them difficult to like and we can reel twenty of them off the tongue they don't want to listen because it's far easier for them to just keep saying we hate them for no reason.

Hi Orion. Britain isn't a country. It's a union of four supposed "equal" partners that are treated like colonies by the bully in the playground that makes up 85% of the population but with almost none of the natural resources required to fund the interest payments on it's eye watering debt. In the context of Empire the term British is used in this instance to spread the blame instead of take ownership of it. As I've said, they're only British when it suits them.

Hi 3183. I don't think I've found myself so out of my depth about so many topics of conversation than I did when I lived there.

Nah, that's definitely a myth. Just like the one about the Irish being stupid. I had to go live there to find that out for myself though.

Hey daisy. Yeah, I'd argue that there are for sure. We'd all like to pay less tax (unless you're Warren Buffet) but lots of people still understand that this will mean less funding of public services, many of which they themselves don't need to access but will end up making society fairer overall.
