  1. Turn it Up Wratha - MC got rave reviews on Beer O'Clock on SEN last Thursday.

    I can't dispute your call just yet as haven't tried it.

    Stay tuned for some feedback.

    Beer Chang from Thailand is heaps better-Elsternwick Hotel $43 a slab last week!!

  2. If i can get to the footy i go, Sometimes i have other [censored] on. I barrack for melbourne-always will. This is a silly poll, out to make people feel guilty. Sure this year as the team is playing so badly some weeks i may just say "no i just can't hack it" Do i deserve to be hung out to dry?? No and i wont be. The Melbourne Football club is one of many things i love on this planet, but it sure as hell aint the only thing!!

  3. They will be 2 more sides we wont draw crodes against in Melbourne.

    I Pretty much fear the AFL will force out a merger and give Tassie a team they have somuch control when it comes to keeping you viable or not.. Our finances arent worse then the Bulldogs who receive what 1.3 million more ASD each year then us.. but no1 talks about them, they had to have a membership drive despite sitting at 4-0

    Its all about Melb and North being the basketcases in the print media, and as some of the journalists are spoon fed, pretty sure some exec at AFL house has this scenario earmarked...

    The Bullies have that new Facility being built underwritten by the Federal Govt so sadly i think they are safe at this point, but there membership is a worry

  4. I'll be there with my son as we both have been at every home game so far.

    It's turned out to be a great opportunity for a catch-up and conversation about the price of pies and the occasional scotch and coke and how his love life's travelling. What was called 'quality time'.

    Unfortunately the occasional Demon goal interrupts our conversation.

    Yes i have had similiar conversations with my dad at 2 games this year-Against the bulldogs i went to the bar at half time and stayed, never done that before. I refuse to watch if the team is disinterested asnd not having a dip. I got my pride...

  5. lets look at it this way...... we make the most of the draft this year with one early pick and 2 in the high teens (not too shabby), take a decent player in the pre-season draft (cousins maybe?), then win 8 or so games next year and take the priority pick out of the picture anyway.

    Its a good thought but i don't know whether we would get to 8 Games next year the way the team is set up, and for membership reasons that is what we need. The Eagles might just get in the way this year. Its so wierd talking on this level after round 6, but it's the only way we can get strong that i can see

  6. the storm have had the success they have had not because of money injected but because they are a damn good organization, who don't tolerate crap from the players. not to mention their outstanding recruiting record. think about the A-grade players who have left or are leaving, Kimmorley, Bell, Orford, falou etc........yet the storm tell them to go forth and multiply if they want to leave with the knowledge they will always find the next one.

    we need to get our [censored] together and start getting some real talent into our side and develop them properly. we get it together and the success will come......no matter how many sides are in the comp.

    I agree with you about the Storm, but they were always set up to be successfull. And they don't have a draft so Deals can be made. But yeah good luck to them.

    Its the 2 new clubs who are going to dominate the draft of the AFL for the next 5-6 years that i am worried about, I know we gotta get Tough and take no shite, but how are we going to do it? That bloody Round 22 Game last year is going to haunt us for years i fear.

    We must all be aware of it and work to address it..

  7. New clubs = more sponsorship = large TV rights = more money for AFL clubs.

    I mean seriously, who wouldn't vote for their inclusion?

    More sponsorship?? Not down in victoria it wouldn't, only going to make $$ tighter to find i believe. I don't want to support a "basket case" that is propped up by Rich soulless clubs until they get sick of us. I want Melbourne to get Strong and feared by the Entire Comp. And i see it as harder to do with 18 Teams that's all

  8. For 2 weeks i have been thinking of this

    I am very concerned about the consequences of the two new clubs being bought into the league. Why did our president vote unanomously for there inclusion? What benefit is in it for The Demons, apart from $$-that's all it can be. I mean look at the storm 2 flags in 10 years, no wonder northern state peole hate them. These clubs are being set up to be successfull. If Melbourne died the AFL would not care.

    WHY DID YOU VOTE FOR THE NEW CLUBS MR GARDINER?? I want to know

  9. I would never support another team but as the years rolled on i would get bored of following an "impossible dream" go and do something else, just because Fitzroy supporters follow Brisbane doesn't mean i have to support a Gold coast or whatever club either. I have pride.

  10. Can I state the bleedin' obvious? All the off field innovation in the world is next to useless if the team doesn't perform on the field.

    This is totally correct. If the team starts winning the rest will follow. Its like a film- Bad Scrip Bad Film-no matter how much advertising is done. I am all for Passion and Commitment from all of us, But winning on the field is the only solution. Keep the fire burning though.....

  11. After this year and last, i would prefer to lose the game and get as higher draft pick as possible. With the new teams coming in we need every bit of luck we can get. Nieta is already a legend he does not need to prove a thing to us. We must build for the next 20 years.

  12. Nieta to Carro "Why did you charachter assassiantion Ben Holland?" She backs herself as usual besides saying she used the wrong words.

    Nieta "Benny has two degrees whilst playing footy and is a great role model why slag him off in the media?"

    She doesn't get it.

    Thanks For the Transcribe guys-appreciate-Go Nieta..sill fire in the old horse yet!!

  13. If my club relocated / merged / folded, I would walk away from footy in all forms, and never watch it again.

    You don't support a club like ours for decades without having an emotional attachment to the club, and I'd be shattered if anything happened to the MFC.

    In my mind, there is no AFL unless the MFC is in it!

    I Agree and feel exactly the same way. I would go to the G for the odd game but not care who wins-Bit like the I P L Cricket i watched over the weekend!!
