I am a MCC member and dont need to have everyone signed up prior to round 1 but our memberships including cat and dog are all paid up as soon as they are available. Obviously our memberships are a donation but the sooner the club gets the money the better. I have one more member to sign up as well.
Hopefully now that Jimmy is on the mend from his recent operation, the club will go ahead with the ring around of each of the 7000 unsigned "members" and get them back on board.
Main thing is to make sure that your membership allows you entrance into the ground so ring the club and explain your predicament to them. They may have some suggestions.
Mouse, google YMCA here in Melbourne. I know it sounds a bit naff but would be right for the budget. Leave more to celebrate our win! When you ring the club find out if they are going to have a function after the game even if it is an away game. Have a great time whilst you are here.
What were Melbourne players supposed to do - watch the opposition move down to their forward line but hope that by some miracle a melbourne defender would get it out of the backline to where unmanned Melbourne forwards were waiting. Get a grip
Was it Trengove who got poked in the eye last week. At half time he came up the race clutching a towel to his right eye. May have played with limited vision in the right eye.
To my mind Newton is still the weak link but unfortunately we need a tall to help out Jamar who was absolutely "rooted" in the last quarter. He could barely pick his feet up.
We are in good hands. Bailey spoke well actually answering each question which is a breath of fresh air. I liked the way that he answered Garry without putting Garry down but forcefully stating why he should have been given an extension.
Hawthorn's mongrel tactics were discussed this morning by KB on SEN with Patrick Smith. PS wanted to discuss Guerra's tackle but KB seemed not to but they did confirm that Alistair Clarkson likes his team to play this way. They also mentioned Mitchell's tackle and that Brown should focus more on the ball than the man. I think (cant confirm) they both referred to Hawthorn as the "thug" (or something similar)team of the competition. Nice
A comment was made on the radio this afternoon that Garry is by coaching the U16 which were coached by Buckley last year, still is undecided and is keeping his options open.
If that is the case will we see Cam Bruce at Casey. I don't think so. What must it look like to the younger players when an older player is stuffing up but is treated differently?
I had to laugh today when the Ox on SEN commenting when Newton was kicking for gaol said that there wasnt much wrong with Newton apart from dragging his kick to the right and oh also his work ethic..... please
I sat very near to Rivers today and he was walking very freely so what are the chances of him coming back next week Frawley for Rivers - dont know what the match ups are like though.
