  1. I can see a Machiavellian type of move here. Filth: "Let's offer Sam Mitchell the gig"; he goes to Hawthorn "Gee boys, I've had the triffic offer from the filth" .Panic stations at Glenferrie/Waverley. "Alistair, the filth are trying to poach the golden boy. Thanks for the good years but we're going to have to let you go (at the end of the year)" Alistair feigning surprise wins every game left (except ours). In the meantime, Jeffrey unaware of this dastardly and cunning move has isolated Clarkson with the Filth only to sweep in with a fabulous offer to coach a disintegrating club. Clarkson walks out the Crown door after an uneventful B&F to the sounds OF Virtue - Thanks for Nothing? The only proviso is I'm not sure anyone at Collingwood would understand a Machiavellian move.
  2. Andy, Just received notification that I have paid the subscription twice. It kept sending me back to the original payment site!!! Can I be in credit for next year or does that complicate things for you!!
  3. Took your advice and upgraded family memberships and purchased all our GFG's. I believe GFG's selling like hot cakes today.
  4. Tin, don't you think having a stable admin has a lot to do with the current on field performance. Just look down the road. A win tonight might push us to 55,000!
  5. Let's change the fact that MFC supporters don't go to Marvel. We all know that the Doggies faithful will be there expecting to thrash us and given the umpiring result of having a majority Adelaide supporter crowd we need to have more than the usual MFC base supporters at Marvel. MCC/MFC members notoriously will not go to Marvel. This is a game where we need supporter noise not just to balance out umpiring decisions but the players thrive on it as well. We all need to be there.
  6. The MFC Hub is open again from the Carlton game. Hopefully if COVID stays controlled it will stay open.
  7. We are obviously not paying people to join. It is an incentive to those latecomers or maybe those who did not previously have a membership. Hopefully if they join in a good year we can keep hold of them for next year. At least the Club are proactive in attempting to sign up MCC members.
  8. Not sure if it has been mentioned here but Rugby have a "Captains Call" where each Captain have one opportunity to ask the Ref to check with the TMO for an infringement prior to a try or to review foul play. Why can't we introduce something similar. My comment was more out of frustration but I do agree that that they are split second decisions but some umpires get it wrong more than others.
  9. A great offer. We will always struggle to match the larger Clubs whilst we have so many MCC members as supporters but not dual members. Everyone can see that the MCC Members is full of Melbourne supporters at every MCG game. At the Richmond game there seemed to be more MFC supporters than Richmond. The noise MCC members make when the team walk up the run is magnificent and really appreciated by the players. Petty was looking up to the crowd with a huge grin on his face. He wouldn't hear that out at Casey! So come on MCC members, take up this special offer. The Club is really trying to find innovative ways for you to become members. No more excuses about not winning games.
  10. I couldn't believe it. Twice in the same play he blatantly dropped the ball and play on was called.
  11. Being in the business of specifying paint brands/colours, Haymes stands out for coverage and colour saturation. Great product and loyal sponsor.
  12. I booked Level 2 seats so that is why there were no visitors tickets available. I am so nervous using this system that I didnt bother trying to choose another level. Enjoy the game and the occasion. If you havent seen it live at the G before it is super emotional and an event you won't forget.
  13. Did any MCC members have trouble getting visitor tickets for this game. I know of one other person who couldn't access visitor tickets. Both of us are full members!!
  14. Because they have more automatic roll overs. Try an email to membership.
  15. Is anyone really surprised.
  16. Does anyone know who Trac's manager is. If its Paul Connors beware. He is Ollie's manager. I will not forget the Judd debacle.
  17. What is Nathan Jones contract value and if/when he retires at the end of the season would that release some room.
  18. I dont understand the covid social distancing rules at Marvel. My row on the lower level all seats bar one were filled. The row in front of me there were three seats unfilled. The next row down was empty. Go figure! The previous week the MCC did a better job of social distancing.
  19. Might be wrong but I couldn't see Hibberd on Match Simulation vision.
  20. I'm in.. Level 1 wing. I can't take this. I'm a nervous wreck waiting for a ticket to go to a football match. When will this end.
  21. At one point, Fyfe shunted Oliver away and off the ball from the Gawn tap. I presume nothing illegal (umpire didnt call it not that they would if Fyfe was anywhere near the ball) There was no actual holding but he just pushed with his chest and of course he was left holding Max's tap down. The other method of nullifying Max is for the opposition to try and win the tap but to stand wait and pounce on our midfielders and there is another stoppage. Surely the coaches/players are aware of all of this but we seem to continue playing the expected midfield role. Could we do the reverse and become the hunters of the opposition midfielders. Just try something different. It looks great when Oliver can get a quick handball or pass out but against classier teams its not working (or didn't last year). Unless Max can tap the ball long a couple of times with half forwards or half backs virtually playing the midfielders role and as a result opposition midfielders aren't sure where the tap is going, they have to come up with a solution otherwise we are losing the huge advantage that Max bring us. What I find extremely frustrating is the opposition constant blocking Max off ball. There doesn't seem to be any inclination by the umpires to do anything about it which of course results in Max becoming more and more frustrated and constantly looking to the umpires for protection and then results in the umpires even less willing to call it.
  22. Just checked the MCC website and they say that mcc members only need to scan in with their mcc card and visitors need to scan in with their mobile card. The ticket for the MCC member will be used to be ushered to their reserve seat by staff. My mobile ticket does not have a barcode as such but my visitors ticket does. I suggest you go to the MCC web site where all the regulations around entrance to the Members reserve are set out.
  23. Got mine Level 1. Only 5 more sleeps!!!!!!!!!
  24. Mega ring and leave a number for a call back rather than staying on line. I think they are being inundated with members ringing with booking queries.
