not sure what your point is ldvc we all know that for every drug cheat caught at least 10 others don't get caught same goes for other forms of cheating on the rules but that is a poor argument to go soft on the ones you do catch anyway, we will soon find out how committed the afl is to it's own rules (albeit forced on them) and penalties and what sort of message it sends i'm not too optimistic

i take your point djd, but i think you sell biffo too short. think you'll find he has many eggs in his basket. he is not one to leave many stones unturned. and that is enough corny metaphors for today

think you'll find biffo already has that market cornered, djd

thanks....what a non story.....then the hun is good at that, eh btw is it everyone's opinion that when the decision is made on guilt or not that penalties will be handed out at the same time? i've now seen a couple of references that indicate sentencing will be at a later time if so i wonder how long?

well what's done is done....we all had a constructive discussion and i hope the club listened let's hope lessons are learnt and its all upwards from here

another reason why aami park is not a good long term base

public space....so what so is fed square that type of argument can work either way billboards on the fence don't interfere with the amenity of the public and can help defray the costs of providing public spaces

your reply lost me saty i never talked about spending more money or diverting it from the fd i just was thinking out aloud about a way of making more for negligible cost billboarding the oval just seems like a lost opportunity doesn't matter if not in current contract, could in theory be a new diff contract if all parties can benefit of course there may be some blanket bans on outside advertising (for anyone) changed since c'wood's time, council restrictions etc etc... i don't know, but just saying it's not in the current contract doesn't say much about why anyway enough said.....like i said just thinking aloud and bub did raise a point

saty, i know you have explained it before that advertising at goschs is not part of the contract. this maybe a bot ot, but... now we know collingwood did it, so we could presume it could be done and is profitable, at least potentially i don't see why the club couldn't take a separate business case to aami to allow billboarding on the oval the club could work out a deal with potential advertisers then take a case to aami even if it was just a split the profits equally deal just can't see why the door has to stay shut just thinking out aloud

nice of the club to apologize. however i don't buy the excuse of a misunderstanding this was advertised as a special fan event with catering at a particular time and on a public holiday so they could attract a good gathering all good and admirable but, it wasn't a misunderstanding, it was just [censored]-poor management and organising (and symptomatic of some previous exercises) the club needs to understand what it was and fix it, not just excuse it now i don't expect the club to come out and say all this, but i do expect that they will understand the real reasons and give someone a good kick up the rrr's

saty i didn't go, i was thinking of going and bringing my 5yo gs but unfortunately he was otherwise tied up i would have turned up at 11:30 so we could have had a little kick to kick on the ground so, i would have had to wait around for 2 hours and there is no way a 5yo would have lasted i then would have had to drive home with a bitterly disappointed toddler who had got a bad impression of the "demons" and try to explain it to my wife who thinks i'm a hopeless tragic anyway i needn't add that his mother is not a mfc supporter

if it was more than half an hour ago, he would have forgotten it

so as i'm driving to melbourne you expect me to start up a browser session via smartphone to the mfc site then browse their twitter feed and understand all that shorthand hieroglyphics to check and see if someone has made a perfectly understandable, minor error that would only upset some cranky, negative, precious, demonland poster gotcha

the afl (that is the management group) is fast losing credibility in many areas including transparency and governance od is right, logic is something for the afl to only consider when it suits them (usually when it is profitable)

none of my family or children use twitter. i'm struggling to think of neighbours and friends who do enjoy your laughing mm

about as reliable an account of history as homer's illiad - lol

sounds like you haven't read the whole thread mm, nor the other thread specifically on this topic you say " a message that was posted on their website/twitter/app is perfectly acceptable" but it wasn't on the website or app, just on twitter. secondly the tweet was sent late and after many people had already left home. thirdly they were still late (by another half hour) after the revised time and fouthly no-one from the club presented at 12 to explain to those who were there. and then there were the other lost opportunities mentioned by other posters which seem to have escaped you at least 3 posters who attended with young children had to give up and leave. one all set to buy promised kid memberships and merchandise this too, follows shortly after arranging and advertising a promotional intra-club practice match at casey at a fan unfriendly time just a week before if you think that is "is perfectly acceptable" and "it was not an issue, it is maybe a slight inconvenience" and " a testament to the vast majority of people who posts temperament" who you say are "prescious (sic)"then you seem to have missed the point. those posters being reasonably critical are not just being "precious" but genuinely want the mfc to be a truly professional club in all aspects and especially so in attracting young kids to the club. you should rethink your position

i'm a little confused (nothing unusual) as to whether jh has really put off contract negotiations to end of season or whether the media in their usual fashion have blown and twisted it out of proportion. has there been any unambiguous statements by jh or his manager to this effect?

i'll take the latter but not too sure about the former

thinking of taking gs (5yo) too, od but with gp on close by i'm wondering about parking anyone have any idea on parking? park a few tram stops away and catch tram?

well moonie, there are certainly more churches (4) in romsey than actresses......so choir boys are probably aplenty

it's actually quite important to understand the difference between hypo (low) and hyper (high) if you know someone with diabetes getting it wrong can be fatal just saying.....

don't complicate it deefella.........they effed it up.........for what ever reason.......and this shortly after the poorly timed casey intra club match surely they can't eff up next weekend's family day at luna park too....

od, i probably would have said "keepa dancin, maria"

when i grew up,leg, it was "as the actress said to the bishop"......but yes, good point
