  9. I'd be happy to view the game from the roof of the Southern Stand with the fake birds of prey. And I'm ridiculously scared of heights! Oh well...

    Really? That could equally describe us last 15 years. We were irrelevant for at least a decade. Glass houses How many GFs have we played in the last 15 years? How many brownlows? AAs? Any other measure? Be respectful of our failures as much as other club's failures. Show humility, our current success could easily fade.

    Please stop DD, you're turning me on... ?

    Understand the frustration with your own situation, but I don't think its right for us to sit in judgement and bundle all AFL players and their families in the one "entitled" basket. A parent away from a young family for many months last year would understandably be nervous about another hub this year. And many young or fringe players are not on fat contracts, same with much of the support staff.

    And I thought it was only Richmond fans that turned on each other! It's the virus we need to be angry about, despite how we think people behaved, and regardless of only getting select information via the sensationalist media. We in Vic were in a similar situation to NSW only a year ago, and the virus leaked to other states
  14. Got 3 tickets, trident reserved seat members. Instead of being near N52 Olympic Stand where we normally sit, they are N12 in Southern Stand. Tried to change them on ticketek site, but it wouldn't work for me. Don't know how that came to be, but still ok seats. No biggie. Looking forward to when we can return to our old seats again. Go Dees!

    They were in quarantine at home, as per their red zone permit, according to numerous media sites. 2 new COVID cases in Vic
  16. Stiff Arm replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Thise rules were for all of NSW. Sydney has been a red zone for considerably longer than that.

    As sure as night follows day, Jim. I was at a small gathering over the weekend, mostly people I didn't know. The woman next to me mentioned her husband works in the transport industry and just got back from Sydney. I asked why she wasn't at home isolating with him. The reply was that they were exempt from isolating and testing because he works in the transport industry, as if that is some sort of COVID barrier! Go figure. I got tested the next morning, of course.

    112 cases in NSW today. Removalist driver travelled from NSW through Vic making several stops whilst infectious with Delta strain. Watch this space... ?
  19. Good God, that reminds me of MFC supporters pre-Roos, only more angry and humorous at the same time! Nice get Bimbo!

    Seems he will go inside top 20. Bugger. Given the first round can go beyond top 20, its strange the AFL's rationale to pick that number as the cut off for academy. And yet F/S's can be matched anywhere because of 'tradition'. Go figure. I'd rather see the AFL put a stop to clubs dumping future high picks knowing there is a player of the ilk of Nick Daicos coming up. IMO its not far off draft tampering What is the point of nurturing an academy player if they develop into a top 20 pick and the club can't even have a crack? Crazy AFL logic once again. Of course it was put in place the year we might've benefited, of course...
  21. Just need Sydney to beat the Bulldogs for us to resume the position
