  1. P2J what a cop out !! Maxy said something I don't like so I haven't bought a members ticket Take your ball and go home!! It says something you haven't bought your ticket already awaiting something maybe ??
  2. Sub consciously changing a game plan ie concentrating on defence any more than usual is not the way to go. Our style is completely different to most other teams and to change now would be unwise. Beating Freo at Freo might be a bridge too far but Lions at Casey is winnable in our form at our home ground.
  3. Not sure about that despite I am bullish about BBB and his upside fir us. Daniher is looking ominous with HD marking and kicking and so important to the development of the Zlions options up forward. Might easily be recruit of the year!!! BBB not far behind though liked Goody's positive Interview on AFL website today on Big Ben.
  4. Have got Melk in and Jets ! Jets too slow and Melky has not played much so nit match fit and outbid form fir 2 years!! Hibbo played last night and his season last year was good considering the pressure he was under. Put ANB on wing move Bowey to BP snd Tommo to CHB Lever to HBF and Jones instead of Melky. Thats about best but would still have Tommy at FF snd Majak as Interchange.
  5. From the latest figures as of 14/03 we are only 2,500 below our record year of 2019. Uf we can win early games then we are on track IMO for 50,000 plus Or even challenge or record. We won't break the Round 1 figured but the season figures are not a Failure by any means. With the Big forwards due back by end of April We if we play our cards tight be in quite a healthy spot member wise.
  6. Membership is not really hard to get into I have never been waiting more than 10 mins and they are so obliging!! Leave one message and follow up Bout an hour stating you have been ignored! The squeaky door syndrome !!
  7. For an older person OD your attitude and logic is as I have said so half glass empty! Under this new Covid system every supporter has to secure a Covid $0.00 Online E ticket. Whether we have 50,000 capacity or 100,000 your effort is just the same and relatively easier when full capacity. So in effect your issue with finding a seat close to the start of the game and allegedly "fighting off" supporters that make up our 50,000 members is no different Really as priority is given to home ground members!!! Easy come 10 mins before the game and your row you sit in or your specific seat is already chosen for you! What is so difficult about that ? Of course you have already stated you won't be going early days or until July possibly due to your Covid fears. That is a personal choice but I prefer to listen to the medical advice and safe seat etc conditions at sporting events as a guide rather than regard an event as a major concern for my health. ( I have a pre existing condition and are over 70 so my vaccine jab is only a few weeks away at worst. I have had a Covid test which proved negative, My GP arranged it with the Notation "travelling to Victoria " which is correct, at my usual Pathology outlet ( no queuing up) I am now awaiting a friend to get the tickets for 3 of us ( they are Victorian's I am 28 years ex pat !!! Vic / Demon diehard) and if I don't get up off my [censored] and make it happen I might not see many more opening rounds especially this emotional return for all supporters. Its all about decisions people make given the facts of health terms and conditions and attitude. Go Dees from a 63 year supporter and continuous 55 year member and from Brisbane the last 28 years!! I hope OD you can see your way to get the G ASAP. and support the team you passionately post about albeit more negatively than positively,
  8. Well as I said W changes need to be made and 2018 be buried from our form line. Refusal to do this is Restricting the developiment Of Our team by not giving youth an opportunity. i Think it's our bottom 6 players That are Importantly preventing us improve snd we Need to fast track These players.
  9. Really Turner you have been seduced by DS and the greatest load of rubbish about AVB. To say even he has approached any standard on the wing is complete Bias towards his output. Unfortunately AVB has fitness issues and his managed training each week restricts him and his tank to perform the role of winger. And the 1% ers he alleges give me a break! For 2028 AVB inspired us in our run when returned to the team But that has been the last time he has played any meaningful footy fir us snd to dress it up otherwise is delusional. Thats why we have inconsistent performances because Melky ANB and Jets are not even near their best but still being played by Goody! If the players Want to look each other and be accountable then this is a start.For us to accept any of what DS is alleging is misguided on what we expect. Defending as he was the best of all of them is a complete cop out. If you want gut running and trying ANB might be the one but ultimately it's his skills that let him Most times. Happy to see after last Monday ANZb be given a chance though.
  10. You are not the same as your neighbours so the comparison is erodious. Life is strange but this example is flawed. Do we sit and watch the Storm at training to learn From them.? Can't just sit there and gawk!!
  11. Tiers you stated Trac reached a high level of performance quickly and that was a ceiling Sorry Trac 2020 was about 40/50% better than 2019 and before. And believe Clarry will be This year to another level judging by his practice match form.
  12. Buy them and you can forward them on from your phone to theirs ( I don't know how but any one under 30 can show you) Pretty sure that's fine as all that is scanned is the mobile ticket. (If Covid breaks out they will come asking you still probably!)
  13. You didn't see Trac last year Tiers?? Better get some highlight reels you will be amazed!!!
  14. It's just that I heard someone say after the injury report that so and so played after a week. That may have been just Bruising etc but not the skin tearing etc that appears Jay has been through. Yes I have no doubt your Dad was in great pain with an injury in that area of the body. A friend father-in-law law was involved ina road accident and his prostate was affected and after treatment he didn't rehabilitate and suffered great pain and ended up back in the hospital For further treatment! I myself was circumcised at 12 years of age while in surgery for an undescended testes and my parents decided this was an opportunity too good to miss. Two days of pain followed but now a days you would be asked about that at 12 yrs of age I would have thought. We have bad luck with Real pain in those tender and other areas But like it or not it all heels in the long run thank goodness.
  15. Tigers have not had a dream run Bobby you are wrong Both in 2019 and 2020 they had a large till mid season but all came good before the Finals. Do please get your facts straight Bobby. Tigers won 10 games I n a row to Qualify for 2019 and then 3 Finals for the Flag. Last year We had a great run with injuries so you can't necessarily blame Burgo for the injuries this year IMO. Back to the drawing board Bobby!!
  16. Actually Hibbo had a darn good year in 2020 and will be missed if Jets or Joel Smith replace him. Where has your insight been on the Joel Smith injury of broken finger LH? He was listed as 3 weeks and it occurred just before the Tigers practice game. Don't think he is ready yet but if he is should have a run with Casey this Week hopefully. Dont believe Melksham on last years form and no Match practice should play Again if he can show He is match fit with 2/3 game ok but his form is from 2018 not recent seasons! Would rather like to see Bowey Get a chance based on his2 games so far.
  17. Well I saw many of the Qld games at the Gabba and Metricon last year DS and really I Think you are imagining His contribution. You are the first person to defend him and even point out these little extras that should be non negotiable for a winger. I'd like to see the winger get 15 disposals and all the extras that any footballer is worth his salt. Unfortunately Vanders and th others are through fitness problems and age unable to contribute at a pace required for successful a AFL team. One young player Goody Has stunted his career is Jay Lockhart and I have the feeling hw might stick to Jets instead of giving Bowey his debut. Jordan should be tried and U would probably also go with Sparrow if Gus is too underdone for instance.
  18. But him a Junior membership ticket Grandpa and dont be so mean!!! They are cheap and he can go with you all season or whenever you want !!!
  19. You know that for sure Never ? Been there done that?? I'll wait fir the update from the Club for some accuracy but thanks for the Stab in the dark.
  20. Why is it all DB's fault??? you seem very prepared to Blame every one in your posts for every little thing that happens Bobby! Not sure you are qualified or have the inside knowledge to apportion blame as freely as you do.
  21. And exactly which job has he done DS??? Kept out of the way of the fitter faster Runners from half back and forward??? Please don't treat the position like this he hasn't "done the job" on any scale of AFL not even his reduced contributions of recent times. If you are lauding AVB your expectations and hopes are severely diminished for any of our players. Moreover he Melky Hunty Jets are responsible for our dilemma now as their age and output since 2018 have dropped dramatically in form and intensity. No longer are they getting enough possessions or providing the drive and passion Yet Goody has blindly stuck the fat to our teams detriment and development. Your approval of AVB has the same old keep the youth out message that Goody has Proliferated for too long since 2018.
  22. That majestic it even worse !!!! Jetta Baker and Tomlinson and Melksham its not 2018 for Jetta and Melksham form! And practice matches for Tommo and Baker do not Come up with BEST anything! Hunt lucky probably as his best form is 2017!!!! And really if one of our Key position players goes down where is any backup ie Petty or Tmac or M.Brown I suppose we can swing Weid around a bit. In reality Werridee Your selections are like Goody's very conservative and no dare or flare! And very 2018 ish! Ang you have had about 20 goes at it this season so far.
  23. Facts are we topped North snd Bulldogs by 2,000 last year A Re over 3,000 more than North in 2021 presume Doggies would be ahead at this stage. whatever happens in Rounds 1-6 will decide our figure. We are only 3,000 below record of 2019 which spiked due to 2018 success. Yes the style of membership is important and the Ballarat Bullfigs plus Hobart of Tasmanian Roos would be adding 1,000 to 3/4,000 I would think,
