  1. I expect the crowd is indeed small, but the TV shows the side of the opposite side of the ground to where people are sitting. And where there is shade - the temp is 34C in ths shade.
  2. yeah, but he got off on an (outrageous) legal technicality. No such option for Kozzie.
  3. Has there been any discussion of Clarry's kicking the ball over the fence? (I avoid the game day thread religiously). What motivated him?
  4. Really ? I thought there was a more than usual slipping. Almost ice rink like (or whatever the ground is called these days).
  5. This is not a knock on McVee, but Dusty did SFA last night as well.
  6. Good question. Why can't you buy non-reserved seats?
  7. Ticketek is a disgrace. Admittedly we are not young, but it's not as if we are out-of-date oldies who are fazed by technology. This household has at least 3 professional IT people in it who have even written the sort of stuff Ticketek is trying to do and we struggle getting it to do what we want in an efficient manner.
  8. Don't like the idea at all. Why hand out our money? The award itself should be sufficient. What's next? money for winning the Brownlow (handy for some to pay their lawyers I guess).
  9. Because they do it in the USA so therefore it must be right.
  10. All the goals: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/1278945/practice-match-all-the-goals?videoId=1278945&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1677979418001
  11. From what I saw (on TV) it looked like the ball was going to hit the post but bounced unexpectedly vertically and then did not hit the post. So it was a goal. No need for in-the-back free etc. But who knows.
  12. Where did I say it was going on these days? I just said playing vigoursly is not the same as targeting a player's injury.
  13. Strange response. First being hard at opponents is not the same as deliberately stomping on someone's foot who has a known foot injury (yes that is how you can exploit an opponent with a foot injury - stomp on it again). And it seems you assume DelightfulPlay must approve of May or Viney deliberately hurting opponents in that way, just because they are MFC players. Perhaps he disapproves of it for all players. I do.
  14. Sorry, but your remark does not bear on my comment about the length of time a drafted player should be contracted for. Sentiment has nothing to do with giving a club appropriate return on their investment in developing a drafted player. The clubs are professional organizations too.
  15. The core issue is not of how happy the player is. A player is picked up in the draft and developed by a club for a couple of years. The club should expect a reasonable number of playing years for that investment. Five years may be too much, but it is definitely too short IMO now.
  16. A relative of mine had to contact the club to get it to work this year.
  17. thanks. It's not me who thinks it is a non-marquee game. I was just using what the AFRL says. All MFC games are marquee to me.
  18. We are country members who rarely get to a match and not familiar with the MCG booking system. We are hoping to take 4 interstate/international visitors to the Sydney game in Round 3. I started the ticktek process and was suprised to see that only a few hours after the opening of the sale of tickets that Level 2 and 2A Wing and Level 2A Gaol already have their "allocations exhausted" leaving only Level 1 and 4 options. How is that possible for a non-marquee game? Do they release more allocations later? (I didn't enter our member barcodes but clicked on the ticket and pricing information button since I wasn't clear at what point I can buy the extra 6 seats. Would I get a different result if I had?) Any advice greatly appreciated thanks
  19. Any indication at training that there might be any variation to how we kick-in from a behind?
  20. And I thought I was a pessimist....
  21. I'd be more worried about some [censored] from a junior league thinking he can make a name for himself by decking a star AFL player. (Or getting him reported for retaliating.)
  22. Scans sounds a lot better than carried off on a stretcher.
  23. Yet another stuff up - why have we recruited such an old player?!!! And he only kicks a goal every 3 seasons.
  24. Any chance the loading issue could be off-loaded into another thread?
  25. The really laughable ones are let through.
