To be fair OD, I remember following that draft very closely and at the time the recieved wisdom was Scully 1, Trengove 2 and daylight to the rest. It has clearly changed since then and as Cher would say :
If you have sourced an MCC ticket, it won't have a QR code on it as you need to use your MCC members card to access the ground. I had exactly this issue during the Boxing Day test. If you are getting tickets outside the members enclosure you should have a QR code
I would argue that it definitely matters, if you get zero take up in 10 years that is a significant rebuke to the plan. Besides, they must have modelled some targets before they started. If those targets are not being met it gives you a good reason to rethink your strategy.
Not sure if this has been previously stated but I wonder how many members have joined the club from the Casey corridor in the last 10 years. I am sure that that would provide excellent insight as to whether the experiment worked. Numerically we are attracting far more members than we did 10 years ago and if it could be shown that a large percentage of that growth came from that area then it provides compelling evidence to continue down that path. If it amounts to 2 cats and a dog then move on to a closer base. Simples!
Agree that it is not the time to pile on however it is acceptable to assess Hawthorn's recruiting of him and Patton as nothing short of disatrous. Whilst they did not give up much to get them they clearly thought that they had two players to take them forward into the next 3-5 years. At the moment they are 0 from 2 in that regard.
I take no pleasure in seeing footballers no matter how odious they might be going through hard times BUT football clubs are another matter and may those flogs from "the Family Club" enter a deep dark well of dispair for many years to come.
Yep, agree, the AFL updated it's digital assets during the year and went from being reasonably useful to downright awful. Sadly all teh clubs are linked it seems. To be fair, the staffing cuts can't have helped
One of my staff is a friend of the family. Apparently a very close family and he has his head screwed on right. According to her, the boy can play but I guess she would say that.
