Sounds a bit like Ed Langdon -
I've got an AFL membership and love it. ~$60/month, which gives you 40 games per season and seats on level 2. (Also seats on level 1 and 4, but I almost always get a spot in 2 or 2A) It's an extra $11.50 to book a reserved seat to big games and it can be a bit of a [censored] fight sometimes, but if you are organised and not super picky about where you sit for high demand games like ANZAC you wont miss out. Also cheap tickets to rounds 1 and 2 of finals (presumably "wild card" round now too 🙄) and if you want a prelim ticket, you can usually get one. Edit - if you nominate MFC as club of support you are counted in their member numbers and get the member pack with all the bits and pieces. Also gives you priority access to the GF if Melbourne make it. As a Silver member, I’m behind Golds for GF access, but I’d still have a decent chance at a seat relative to other comparable $/month options. Edit 2 - I have an AFL membership cause I go to all the MFC games in VIC + a lot of other games with Carlton/Collingwood/Essendon friends. Usually use up my 40 game membership entitlement, so it works out a lot cheaper than a H&A MFC membership + individual tickets to all the other games.
You must be new here
Hello Bells / Enter Sandman I thought were ok. Whatever they changed to last season was awful
"Onley sustained a hamstring injury in the final game of the national championships which caused him to miss combine testing and put his physical gifts on full display" https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1933093/rookie-draft-pick-3-riley-onley Maybe just that? Matthews seemed to have dropped off the radar of other clubs for similar reasons
It is literally what he said in response to the question "you are also meeting the Pies sometime up here, what do you like about them?" (having just finished meeting GWS, whom the facilities question was about, not Collingwood). He could have answered that question about meeting the Pies without mentioning the MFC at all. There was no need for it and it was a clear backhander (imo) that was reflective of his feelings and state of mind at the time. This argument has been done to death though, so I guess lets just agree to disagree.
"What do I like about Collingwood? Well, they are better than Melbourne, that's for sure" Dead to me
As a big bodied mid they wanted him in the middle, but viewed him as too slow and not able to read the ball quick enough to make up for the lack of pace. He played a handful of games before doing his ACL, which kept him out for close to 12 months. When he came back Harley Reid was there and given WC already had a few other big bodied types he couldn't get back into the side. From what I've seen so far I don't see the issue with his speed. He is certainly not "slower than an average ruckman" as some Eagles fans have suggested. Off the mark he actually looks quite quick. He can obviously take a grab, looks pretty clean below his knees and kicks ok. So I'm not getting it either. Maybe WC just couldn't figure out how or where to play him?
Enter Sandman has been the best one we've had imo. This years one (whoever/what it was) was awful.
Moronic. Teams finishing 7th or 8th now have to win 5 games to win the flag and are at a huge disadvantage to 1-6 who all get a bye anyway. All so teams 9 & 10 who are highly unlikely to do anything in finals can be "engaged" for an extra week.
The delusional narcissism in this place is getting out of control
Demonland =/= all Melbourne supporters. CEO letter is a weird thing to nit pick
