sigh, insert old el paso 'why can't we have both?' gif here?!?? 2018 membership card vs 2019 membership card (nev, naturally)

according to some media types, it has to be a minimum 7-figure deal per annum in order to get around the afl's no-compete clause for their official major partner, toyota so even if it's a one-year deal it's still of a greater value than the i-select deal, which was rumoured to be about $1m for both aflw and afl boj co-major partner sponsorship

Jetta and Gawn

Smart man, get it now before the real football starts

Jetta Plugger Clayton Max

All I remember from Round 1s of the last few years is the ‘that’s SO Melbourne’ of my daughter exclaiming as Gawn missed the monty goal, Wines debut destroying us, and Rockliff booting a bag as his then Lions mauled us Of course there was also Clayton’s glorious debut but that is somehow not nearly as strong in the memory banks I approach every season with a mix of complete joy and utter dread

tough group! anb avb a?b

yeat, that also, it's live - netflix is not 'live', it's just pulling down static video from servers live video is a very different kettle of fish

yes, i use it thru telstra tv i find it a patchy experience tbh; but i think that's my internet connectivity (adsl at sub-7mb/ps) rather than the service itself when my internet has nothing else running it - as in no one else is streaming video - it runs in hd perfectly it's speedier / more current than the foxtel now app on telstra tv, which i tend to find out the score change via official / unofficial apps before it happens on screen

AVB #23 Preuss Lever Weideman

no doubt, it's coming in the next few seasons

based on the presumption that lever will be the only 'definite' out at this stage, it's going to be interesting to see how we structure up - will we go 'tall' against port given their height in the shape of lycett / ryder, dixon, watts / marshall, plus westhoff who floats everywhere? i would suspect that whilst we'd prefer to play two key defenders and rely upon the cluster zone defence, this might be one game where a relatively tall line-up is preferred i also personally think that a taller line-up suits the mcg perfectly - particularly on a beautiful saturday afternoon tall line-up: B: Jetta - May - Frost HB: Salem - O Mac - Hibberd ? Harmes - Brayshaw - KK HF: Petracca - T Mac - AVB F: Preuss - Weideman - ANB Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney I/c: Jones - Spargo - Melksham - Fritsch Emerg: Lewis - Hunt - Garlett - J Smith small ball: B: Jetta - May - Hibberd HB: Salem - Frost - Fritsch ? Harmes - Brayshaw - KK HF: Petracca - Plugger - AVB F: Melksham - Weideman - ANB Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney I/c: Jones - Spargo - Hunt - J Smith Emerg: Lewis - Preuss - O Mac - Garlett like others, i can't see how jones and lewis can play in the same side, really, going forward, unless they have ripping preseasons and excellent jlt form i'm also one of those who favours fritsch behind the ball, but really he can play pretty much any role there also seems to be lotsa speculation that bedford and sparrow are looking particularly 'ready' on the track of the newbie kids, but i just can't see either forcing themselves into the starting 22 given our depth yes, our depth! ye gods it's a nice thing to finally talk about key match-ups: jetta vs gray (when forward) harmes vs wines / gray / rockliff (when in the midfield) may vs dixon gawn (+ preuss, possibly) vs lycett / ryder (when rucking) frost / o mac vs ryder / lycett (when forward) melksham vs hartlett / broadbent / dbj / houston / burton (whoever plays their rebound sweeper role) there's a lot more queries and variables around port's line-up in 2019 than there is ours: will they go with watts or marshall or both? does wetshoff play on the wing as a permanent role going forward? can the combo or ryder and lycett work well together; both are much better as the starting / primary ruckman as opposed to a switching role? will rockliff recapture some semblance of form? can boak play the half-forward pressure role?

87ish to now, but excluding robbie: b: jetta - wight - ingerson hb: s febey - neitz - b lovett ? tingay - g lovett - davey hf: lyon - schwarz - jurrah f: stynes - jakovich - farmer foll: gawn - oliver - t viney i/c: jones - j viney - yze - green emerg: prymke - woewodin - vince - whelan but that's just a random run thru without 'thinking' about it...

i looked at the infiniti, primarily cos of their involvement with the club too expensive and too ugly for what it is very happy with the nissan pathfinder i ended up getting
