Then kick us out of the league and then make it a fair draw, while you are at it - kick St Kilda, NM, WB, BL, GC, and GWS out of the comp - and then make it a fair draw. Why bother at all? I want equalisation and it involves the fixture. I know why it is created the way it is - I am saying that they are missing a chance to equalise the league with the way they maximise crowds. Aside from Collingwood on QB - we have no home game against any other high drawing Victorian teams. How is that so easy to accept?

No, it's not 'rocket science' to deliver an even draw for teams to make money. We have had to sell games to another area of the country, otherwise we would have two games that we would make some decent coin out of. 30k isn't making money, praha - it's purely keeping heads above water. A fixture of a well run league should be 'fairer' - a club should not have to earn 'fairness' with performance, equalisation of the AFL can't stop at beverages, but it seems to have.

“The fixture is reflective of where we are at as a club.” What a terrible effing fixture from a commercial standpoint. The PA and WCE games in NT are never more necessary - they, and the games against Coll on QB and Syd on Sat Night in Womens Round are the only games we will make money from. Perhaps we will come out for the GC game on Sat in Rd 1, but the other 6 home games are ALL on Sunday (Rd 23 v GWS is destined for that timeslot). Those Sunday games are against all low drawing teams - WB, St K, NM, Freo, BL, and GWS. I hope the 'spin' about this fixture being 'for the fans' is found out - it's 'for the fans of the high drawing teams' and that is it.

To be perfectly honest with you, h_h, I don't mind your posts. Occasionally, it's as if you don't filter them internally, but it's all a bit of fun isn't it? You are not here constantly harping on a few subjects while haranguing anyone that dares question the few certain things that you have personal involvement in over the last decade. You don't hold pointless grudges toward people who - in no way - was involved in what you were so passionately against. You are a Demon who is a fan of some back and forth and can move on to other subjects without the need to pompously drone about the misremembered views of others from years ago. And, what's more h_h, you have been good value on here of late. So, to the hatchet, it's deep in the soil. The power of the Prince...

What the [censored] is going on here?!?

If there is one, it's reflected on all...

I think it is time for you to get over your preoccupation with me. If you feel so strongly about h_h's rude impatience as mistaken joke then that is your opinion. I referred to one of your asides as 'disappointingly personal' because you implied that me, and Demons that think like me, would lead to the ruination of the club. The fact that I replied with those two words when I inferred the above is a testament to my patience - the fact that you seem to bring it up every few months is a testament to your obstinance.

They have contracts for next year, so it's faux shock.

Two home games we usually lose money from. So we have so far home games at the G against Gold Coast (Sat Afternoon) and Sydney (Sat Night) and two interstate teams in NT. Commercially speaking - so far, so good... Just waiting for the rest to be a hot mess of Sundays.

Very interesting. Tapscott would be close to be delisted in the next two days but can be delisted for the next lodgement before the draft. I will buy nothing more than a couple of weeks. They may be looking at the Rookie List. Evans (Pickles) might survive due to an inability to get someone in the PSD and also the fact that he is contracted for next year.

After watching that video I am emotionally invested again... We better get the kid.

Yeah, we might want to fix that...

Frankly, there are a litany of people, Demons even, that do not deserve the cheap derision that are directed at them on this site.

lol Yes, the rolling members (my missus is one even though she doesn't know it) and the MCC/MFC members (rpfc) will make up the vast majority of those. Probably compare about the same - around Xmas we had about 22k from memory. Calling High Tower - he does these but has been a bit jaded lately...

He does look impressive. I don't know junior footy, but I do see players in the AFL, that I have been told were flankers at TAC Cup level, turn into very good midfielders. These players are invariably taken later than their talent otherwise should because of the fact that they are not played in a position of importance. Is Laverde one of those players?

I wasn't clear before. If Trengove is to be moved off the Primary List for us to use ND53 or PSD2, he is going to have to be delisted and placed on the Rookie List through the Rookie Draft. I am assuming Tapscott is delisted to allow ND40.

That isn't what I am saying at all - I am saying that your utter rejection of players a 'phantom' picked 2 WHOLE PLACES LOWER is utterly ridiculous and maddening. The MFC gets to choose any player bar whoever is taken at Pick 1 and we are not confined to the 2 or 3 players these Phantoms say we should select.

Already did it. Ticket master site a bit cumbersome but light years ahead of what it used to be. $60 - and I won't have to buy the AFL one again, and it goes to the Dees. All good.

Well, I got more improvement than I envisioned. Our list was so compromised that even Cross, Vince, and Tyson were not enough in the middle. To concede 7 less goals a game is a huge achievement in one season. Is it a Quantum Leap? Ziggy say 'Yes.'

It's just three rounds of football for all clubs - no finals.

There is no mechanism for this Jetta workaround. It won't happen. He will have to be delisted and picked in the Rookie Draft.

So we didn't improve under Roos?

Yeah, I will update that at some point. Lower your eyes people, still 2014.

It's not a big deal, because WGAF, but in no way was h_h joking. From what I have seen, he lacks the inclination and the capability.

Leaving aside the 'junior footy experts' who are entirely fallible and the 18 months quip (6 of which are off season) the reason you have for not picking a bloke like Laverde is a singularity of stupidity, a blackhole of rational thought; every year there is someone taken in the picks you claim not good enough for the top 3 that are better than the top 3!Wines, Aish, Selwood. The fact that you are alluding to the MFC not 'being allowed' to take a player because of 'phantom ranks' is, unfortunately, backing up one of my personal dislikes about those that talk about this teenage lottery draft that we have; being railroaded into a few choices while having the most to choose from. It stinks.
