  1. From memory and I may be wrong it costs the club about a home crowd of 35,000 to hire the MCG, when we only get 18-20,000 odd

    Generally love your work HG but you realy should've determined that attendance value before posting. It's my understanding it's 22,000 to break even (if the top is closed). Can understand some frustration though. One home and one away wouldn't bother me for a set period.

  2. I see it as bringing ownership of the number (from a club, coach and player perspective) into the modern MFC age - nothing to do with 'give the kid a number from the past because the past is all we've got'.

    It we can't bring such an important number with us on this, the new 'journey', what soul-less bland entity are we?

  3. I see we were training on Collingwoods oval at Goshs'.

    We were always going to take that over when the pies moved to their other training ground. Does anyone know if thats happened and thats why we're on their oval? Or are they just in Arizona?

    "...Collingwood is set to train on its new oval from March. "

  4. We don't have time for all sides to become 'even', so they can all play exciting to watch Footy.

    Which is a big part of what I believe to be the reasoning behind FA and it's compensation - the re-seeding of the grass - insofar as the AFL is concerned.

    Vitally important that the AFL micro-monitor it and adjust as necessary to bring an end to the never-a-chance supporter fatigue.
