  1. It's probably already been said, but if we had taken Wines, we probably wouldn't have had one of Oliver or Petracca today.

    Similarly, whilst 2019 was a horrible year, without it we wouldn't have Jackson, and probably not have Kossie either.

    Silver linings in everything.

    This freak of nature has just ticked over 40 goals for the year.

     20 year old in his second year in the AFL system playing one of the hardest positions on the ground and he's kicked 40 bloody goals.

    Let that sink in.

    Dr D said he was no good though.

    Think he said the same thing about Jackson for that matter.

    What/who do I believe?????????

    I moved to Melbourne from NZ in late 1999, and after many 'recruitment' attempts from Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon & Richmond fans I settled on the Demons.

    2000 I thought I'd enter myself in an online tipping competition and I guess with no pre-conceived ideas about the teams or who the players were, I managed to win.

    Prize was 4 tickets to each week of the finals series, including the GF, so the first game I saw live was the Qualifying final vs Carlton. Probably still my favorite game, ahead of the 2 x 2018 finals.

    Been to plenty of bad games, but the worst, probably because of how disappointed/mad I was afterwards was round 23, 2017 where had to beat the Filth to make finals, but choked and finished the season 9th.

    I can reveal there is an injury to a player in the 22 and therefore there will be a forced change. It isn't a key player and won't change the balance greatly. 

    Considering some still question what ANB brings to the table and are apparently happy to trade away Brayshaw and/or Sparrow I'm not sure a subjective opinion on an anonymous forum is going to appease too many here.

    If it's true....

    What's there to be nervous about? We win - brilliant. We don't - the sun still comes up on Saturday. Us supporters have 0 influence over the result. No point worrying about what one cannot control. We are going to win anyway.

    I'm sorry, but my red undies, red socks, dark blue trackies, royal blue superman t-shirt and home made red & blue beanie (thanks MIL) beg to differ.

    Stuck with that same combo all season  😎

    I've yet to receive the email but in talking with the club they mentioned the tickets need to be bought in the name of the person attending not in the name of the member.

    Could folks check their email to see if there is any info on this. 

    Thanks.

    Nothing specifically, but it does say pass the barcode on, not buy the ticket and pass the ticket on, so would assume it does need to be in name of person attending?
