..and if his name wasn't Anglicised and spelt the way the Dutch would, it should be van Rooijen. Imagine BT trying to get his chops around that!

Once again we are aiming for the top end of the ladder. All too much made of this years draft, full of a lot of 17 year olds who won't play because of when the season is now played i.e. end of year 12 for them. And with 4 new teams the talent is spread extremely thin. Worse is that all the selections were compromised by the priority picks handed out. So for MFC picking up experienced players, while retaining the existing list largely was exactly the right strategy. Apart from Gall, the others are ready to play this year, and we know what they can do. Both Chaplin and Johnston can hopefully fill the hole created by the loss of Colvin ( big ask I know). The addition of Duffy is another huge positive. Goal smart and strong, she is what we have been missing up front, and once again is ready to go this season.

No it hasn't, and that is what is holding things up. We don't know what the salary cap will be, so we don't know how much money we can offer, especially if we are pushing up against the cap at the moment. Other clubs have space, ala Carlton last year, so they can put money on the table. Likewise clubs like Geelong will likely see Selwood retire so they know they have space already.

2023 too close @old dee We will probably get something as an aside to womens 2023 soccer World Cup , or 2027 Rugby World Cup. Can’t build something in less than 6 months, when it won’t be announced before November. Hopefully we can both hang on until 2027!!

Shouldn't it be "Verbosus" ?

They both fell over the line against Saints who had only 2 on bench, one of those with an ankle injury, and the WCE who sit at the bottom of the ladder. They are loading as well.

The bad news keeps coming: https://www.afl.com.au/news/784666/knee-injury-rules-dees-defender-out-of-aflw-season-seven

Don't get me started: "move it on".....no need, it's just play on "yours" or " mine"....no need, there are lines marked on the ground to see which umpire is controlling, and who cares when they can be over-ridden by the other " ball out" or "handballed" ....no need, no call has been made " 15 seconds".....it is the players responsibility to kick the ball before 30 seconds is up. And there is a clock on the scoreboard. At that point it is " play on".

6, 208. GC v Freo 6136. GC v North 5523 . Giants v WCE 5057. Great investment all around. And AFL want to "create" another franchise in Tasmania. At least a majority of Presidents know where the money would be coming from, in addition to the never ending lifelines being thrown at GC and Giants

I'm assuming "bosses" means Presidents, but who would Kate have chosen from a rival club? I would think Max King or Aaron Naughton.

Same here. Hawthorn v Collingwood 42,000. Combined membership 160K Melbourne v Collingwood 76,000. Combined membership 140K Richmond 21K v Port and not a peep, but she has a crack at us for 29K attending the Freo game.

Leaving the ground after the game, walking from MCC to Richmond station, I saw no less than 3 fights involving Collingwood supporters. In each case police were restraining them and their feral mates still having a go at the police. Poor coppers must hate having to attend their games......

Serlect adult club members X 2 from drop down menu. Enter your membership barcodes into the box provided but one below the other, don't use commas etc. i.e. on new line

Any more unfounded postings which have legal implications to yourself and this site, will result in the thread being closed

Yeah.....she'll save it up for the North v GWS game.

Goldrick coming back for another season!!!!!!! Yes!

Collingwood v Hawthorn 43932. Two clubs with a membership combined of 160,000. So only 1/4 of them turned up. Let's see the turnout for Collingwood v Melbourne this week, before people claim we are not turning up to games.

No. Directors should not be deciding who is or who is not suitable, as is the current case. That is where bias is introduced. It should be external.

Nomination committees are to vet potential candidates for Board positions. They should be external to the organisation to ensure transparency and good governance. All too often they are filled with existing Board members, who are inherently conflicted, and so becomes a "jobs for the boys" scenario.
