All the same people losing their sh*t over the game on the weekend are no doubt the same ones who say they'd consider a 10-12 win season to be progress. Wonder if they realise that actually means losing 10+ games??

Little Lucas waiting at the top of the race as the team came off after their warm up. CP5 went over to say g'day before Lucas handed him a Sherrin. TV camera down there.

So are you guys coming or what? Sitting inside the ground now, 45 mins to game time and there's 3000 at best in the seats... :/ Hope another 15000+ are on their way in

This may help... I havent't been to training this season, but assume the parking situation is the same/similar...

Surely Deledio wont play? Match fitness aside, they were saying on the radio last night that up until early this week he was only kicking around half sized (kids) Sherrins!

Anyone know? Is getting around on crutches iced up and putting some weight through the knee consistent with ACL?

He just came back to the bench on crutches with knee on ice. Seemed to be putting some weight on it. ACL?? 3-8-26 to 1-2-8 scorpions, 4 mins into 2nd

For anyone interested, Bernie is on the panel

34,637 up on the wall at the Demon Shop, which incidentally was chockers! Doing a roaring trade today

2014 it was 20th March, last year it was 26th March, so I would say this years one will be out fairly soon. If you call the HUN up they can give you the specific date for all teams.

I haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if this has already been said. I have noticed on multiple occasions from Roos when talking about Jesse specifically (end of years reviews... stuff like that), he has often used language like "Jesse needs to keep listening", "Jesse needs to keep learning".... etc Have found that quite interesting and assumed maybe there was a small element of FIGJAM behind the swagger we all love.

Heading down to watch the final round of the SRA spintcars series at Simpson speedway!

While I don't disagree at all, I am always conscious of the fact that not that long ago I/we were thinking the same thing about McLean, Sylvia, Moloney, Gysberts, Tapscott, Strauss, Morton... etc *shudders* Proof will be in the 5+ years from now pudding.

As mentioned already, this is a replacement home game, so anyone with an 11 game membership can get in. Edit - as long as someone at the MCG remembers to press the magic 'button'. Took a while to get in for the first of our replacement games last season.

On the same note, if and when he does re-sign and bucks the trend of "putting talks on hold = gone", then to the casual observer (idiot), it will make us look good.

I managed to get it up and read in full somehow. Cant now... :/ Story was mainly about Frost moving forward, but there was a couple of paragraphs at the end that said what Redleg mentioned earlier. Quotes I remember... - Hogan and his manager in preliminary discussions - Would be looking at $700,000+ per season which would make him one of highest paid players for his age in the game.

Thats awesome. Love the pack mark by Gawwwwn

Unintentional, but I'll claim it!

Well, I don't know if it was spray paint per se.... but otherwise, 100%

- A/c was working! - Paul Roos not there. - Big round of applause from all in attendance when GB mentioned 2 year contract extension for PJ - Club was aiming internally for 7 wins this season. Didn't say they were satisfied with that, as could/should have won many more, but just that it was their target. - PJ went through financials, happy with progress. Expects profit next year in the range of $300-$400k. Provided reason for slight drop but dont remember specifics. Was something to do with extra costs related to the refurbishment of something, somewhere... - Life members presented. Rivers & the Skipper got up to speak, Sylvia absent as he had shoulder reconstruction yesterday. - Only question of note from the floor is why the AGM is being conducted a week before Christmas rather than the usual early Feb. Answer was that it is a better time of year to do it as in Feb (2016) we want to be gearing up for new season, rather than looking back. - New players introduced. Olivier is quite a bit taller than I expected. Melksham, Weed, Bugg & Olivier all did a quick interview with Goodwin. Oliver a bit like a deer in headlights. Poor fella looked very nervous. Made reference to himself being a dead ringer to Jordie McKenzie which got a good laugh. - Goodwin is a very funny man - Saty has spray painted his hair fluro orange

I hate to reply to anything with just a LOL, but LOL!

Apologies if already posted and I missed it... http://www.foxsportspulse.com/club_info.cgi?client=1-3020-111722-0-0&sID=157502&&news_task=DETAIL&articleID=38051650

Another good one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INwa7sfAh28 I grew up in Auckland and worked at Eden Park and so was lucky enough to see most of his games there live from right on the sideline. Even got to shake his hand and have him sign my shirt out in the middle of the pitch after the Blues won the first year of what was then the Super 12. Absolute legend of the game that quite literally changed the way it was played. Some of the stuff he did was ridiculous. The steam rolling of Mike Catt in the 1995 World Cup semi was probably the most famous try, but there are plenty of other memorable ones. Really sad to see him go, and so young.
