    Mcg website saying we won't know where GA seating is until Sunday. Surely they could work it out before then. I'll be there but these kinds of things don't help attendences.
  2. It's in his interest to keep the story going, he gets worse and worse every year with his self righteousness
  3. Yep grubs the majority of them. Not satisfied until they know every detail of what was said, where did the punch land, did May order a medium or rare Scotch fillet? Can only imagine the $$ on offer to the restaurant to release the CCTV.
  4. Agree. He is a great leader and person and should never have to have been put into a position to front the media on this topic. That should sting may and Melksham as much as anything
  5. Not sure what part you think is missing. They where drinking, a verbal turned to physical end of story. Feel for the other punters in the restaurant no one should have to be around that behaviour when eating out. Seriously thuggish behaviour all around by adults who should know better. Melksham has small kids at home and here he is drinking and punching a teammate on a Sunday night.
  6. Wouldn't be too impressed that they self reported, they were at a public place it would have gotten back to the club and they would've known that
  7. Season derailed by gravy, Edit * I think this is a parady account
  8. Of course he knew the protocols. Even dumber to go out in public and drink. Then to have that much that you can't control yourself

    Been turning up nearly every week for 30+ years. Through all the mostly pain and some hopeful times that we would someday win a flag. Last year despite lockdown we finally got there and I felt a satisfaction I never thought I would. Not a fan of night games have kids under 10 and have been happy to watch most matches on the couch. Been to about 4 this year including last week, will go to this week's game and a few others if the schedule suits. just not a priority for me to plan my weekend around our games anymore, waiting for finals. Don't judge me.
  10. We don't gift games and with Tmac coming back ,Probably won't happen but I'd be happy to see Majak given a go. He has been there 2 years, better ruck than Weid has played back for extended periods at North and has athletism to play on different types. Also a better presence than Weid if forward.
  11. It's like we are getting punished for winning. I guess the predictability of our games at the moment means no prime time Friday nights. The dogs on the other hand how many FTA night games they up to now?

    The video that highlights Neil is no longer able to be the voice of the campaign had me chocked up. Words can express the admiration i have for him,a truly all time great Australian

    How Robbo has managed to reach the levels he has in the AFL media is one of life's great mysteries.
  14. Not in the votes but liked hunts game.
  15. The Tmac v Weid debate was put to bed today. Tmac is a stronger presence crashes packs, sets up goals and great finishing our best forward line has Brown and Tmac as the pillars with Fritsch the third tall and Anb, Charlie and kozzie
  16. He isn't involved this year. He was last year , North were better last year so maybe he had more influence that I thought down there.
  17. Don't think Noble has two desks in his office. Or drives a reality bus
  18. I applaud the club who is always leading the way in this area ,but in terms of the jumper It's my least favourite so far.
  19. 100% agree
  20. Hope so. I sat on level 4 and watched him the while game. He didn't lead up hard and demand the ball enough, not much presence. Got in the way multiple times. Glad he kicked his set shot but he didn't really convince me last night. Same as the Essendon game and even the geelong final in 2018. He doesn't ever dominate or have a presence , just happens to get on the end of a few. I think van Rooyen will pass him quickly
  21. I've been watching closely and his half hearted leads are doing him no favours
  22. Agree on Weidman , we actually need BBB leading further up the ground
  23. Brayshaw $34 for the Frank Hughes medal is good value
  24. I'm sure she will get informally sounded out. There is a major shift amongst big business to elevate females to leading positions and not before time either. She is definately capable but I suspect not willing to do it, thank goodness
  25. When the only opposition fans left are there to boo there own team . Priceless
