  1. Cookie, could you please share the link as I did not receive the email thanks
  2. No they only get in on visitors tickets😁
  3. Could only get 1 ticket Level 4. Hope there are oxygen masks up there.
  4. He was thinking about what he was going to do post football in 2022 and then got a reprieve and thank goodness he did. Jake saved our bacon whilst waiting for Bayley to return. If the injury isn't the worst imaginable I would say that if he would go again given what he has shown the last couple of weeks. He really loves the Club, players and supporters and is one of the nicest people you could meet. Just watching him in the forward line encouraging and advising the younger players I would love to see him look at coaching but then again he may be ready to move on, spend more time with his young family and start the next chapter of his life.
  5. Make sure your account has ticked "to receive communications" from the Club. Sorry I don't know the exact wording but you may have decided not to receive emails in the past which would may stop you from receiving the most important email you will ever receive apart from " you have won lotto"🙂
  6. Thanks Kev but I consistently see one of our players being held off the ball and an opposition layer moves in to mark. It looks so preconceived with no intention of marking. Surely that is a free kick.
  7. As we (Melbourne supporters) walked out up the aisle in the Mcc after the siren went, we were forced to run the gamut of navy blue scarves being waved in our faces. There were some supporters really getting ready to rip their scarves away from them so I wasn't surprised after about 5 security guards raced past me to get to a fracas (well it was the mcc and melbourne mcc members dont participate in such vulgarities)😉 Just employed Collingwood supporters.
  8. But it is not just Max being blocked. I have noticed a marked increase in a marking competition, our players are constantly blocked off the ball and another opposition players moves in and takes the mark. The umpires never pay the free. I'm presuming that they have to be a certain meterage away from the incoming ball before a free will be paid. If it is allowable why don't our boys do the same thing. Can someone who knows the rules better than me clear this up for me. What is allowable blocking??
  9. Well I was hoping to come back on DL with the scoop of the year but there was nothing, zilch, niente.. Mr. Leg you still hold the mantle. I was hoping Perty would be at the function so I could stand up on behalf of all DLers and ask the pert..inent question. Alas no CEO but good old Robbo (full forward not journo) and it seems Robbo is not in on any info. So no big announcement but we did hear from Jonesy and Brad Green. Jonesy was asked about being a one club player and he said that he was comfortable with the decision to stay but was a little disappointed how it ended but also at the same time understood the reasoning behind it. His decision to stay was that he felt that as a leader of a club that at the time was not travelling well, he felt that he needed to stay to finish what he had started. Jonesy said that he contacted Clarry a couple of weeks ago to see how he was travelling mentally dealing with his injury. He said if you hadn't had a soft tissue injury before it was difficult to deal with mentally. He feels now that Clarry will be back that Trac will spend more time forward and has confidence in our small forwards. Robbo asked Brad about being a one Club player and he emphasised that coming from Tasmania at 18 years old, not knowing anyone, he was embraced by the Club and that is why now if the Club ever need him to do something he is always happy to assist. He sees the Club and past players as family. They both emphasised the importance of the noise that supporters make at games and how it lifts the players on the ground especially in those close games. He said he was lying on the beach in Italy or Greece watching the Brisbane game and went for a swim at half time thinking it wasnt looking good but during the last two quarters he was getting calls from mates in Melbourne saying we were coming back. We also heard from Nibbler and Tom Sparrow. Alex NB is a very good communicator and I can see how he is in the leadership group. There was a brief round up from one of the Directors (cant remember who) who basically said the Club is in a very good financial position not much else (probably why I can't remember his name). The concerning thing was that Ronald D was not at the event and he is always there. He was filmed at the football a couple of weeks ago so I am hoping all is well with RDB. Finally the food was good but only one scone per person🥲
  10. Will be going to that event. If any news maybe I could become the scoop master. Perty normally pops in for a brief rundown so if there is any news you will be first to hear it. It was only a matter of time as this legitimately has been worked on by the Club, Council and other interested parties for a very long time. My interest is what Dan is going to donate to the cause. After todays announcement regarding the Public Service Superannuation fund there will be a stink of hypocrisy about any funds coming our way.
  11. Even if he was considering putting himself on the trade table, you would think he would be, if he gets the chance, to play his heart out to showcase what he is capable of doing to impress any Club recruiters.
  12. Juniors and families make up the 17357 It is now 67050. Just purchased another membership.
  13. Isn't the Club's Future Fund there to do that. I thought the Club were some way to making Caulfield happen in terms of negotiating with local council and other administrative bodies. To my mind I think the Club would be loathe to start announcing any projections given how long it has taken to even find a viable location. Just on Kossie, put him back into the centre to get his mojo back again.
  14. Along with Stewart. What a dog act on Viney.
  15. DD the pain level is supposed to be equivalent to childbirth or worse!! I have had two (kidney stones) and the only good thing was the morphine.
  16. But given our standing at AFLHQ the blockbuster will be played at GEEEEEEEEEEEEElong
  17. That chase down and pressure to get the ball over the boundary line down the Richmond end was amazing. Achilles looked fine. Give him another year.
  18. Hopefully their team is just as cocky as the supporters.
  19. It's the old saying Quality over Quantity
  20. It's growing back but bring back the headband I say. Gosh I miss Hunty💇‍♂️
  21. It doesn't take much for him to get stirred up as well. I think we should be highlighting his treatment of Max ie knees in the back, belting the back of his head and bombarding media with talking ooints so that some of it has to get passed the umpiring fraternity. Maybe just maybe we can get some equal treatment for Max from the umpires. Just of JVR, he has a short fuse (only because he hasn't learnt to deal with the attention he is now attracting) so other players need to be aware that they have to be close to him if and when he is set upon and get him out of any situation where he might retaliate.
