Salems Lot

Apparently one of his training drills with #15 & #29 is to have them run and carry and deliver into the forward 50 using him driving a golf buggy as a target. They have to land the ball on the roof of the buggy. Genius!

I thought Goody said the Petty would come in for Maysie in his presser.

I had forgotten to log on! after several attempts I realised that the issue was with the operator (namely me) ...anywhoo, all ticketed now and will not make that mistake again.

Great to see on the AFL site that #26 and #50 are returning through the ressies on the weekend. Tempting to head down to Willy to have a look. 2 weeks ahead of schedule apparently

Don't forget the Inspector Gadget arms. The number of times he stuck a mit out and either intercepted the ball or deflected to advantage in close was huge!

COUGH...17 Touches in the second half that #13

I used to quite like the old afl site. This one is horrid!

Well I was sucked in!

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 :

Watching at the game I thought he played his wing well.

As my dear old Mum (a mad demon fan BTW) would have said. Don't get your knickers in a twist!

Awwwwwwwwful commentary

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

Don't care what anyone says, when you play a full strength team whilst missing 8 first picked players of your own you will get spanked most times.

Thanks PF; this enthusiasm may just be catching.

Porterhouse gets big love on the Gus and Gawny podcast

Thanks Mr Fence, Great report!

True that it is early days but 10 years is a good enough sample to start to gauge uptake

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.

Thanks IT. A quick check of memberships from 2010 to 2019 shows a growth of approx 20k. It would be interesting to know where they all came from

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!

Damn OD, my crystal ball was on the blink ?

ordered a bucket hat online and it arrived the next day. V impressed!

Afl site makes interesting reading, lots of clubs losing players to injury at this time of year. Just put your Mfcss away for the moment

And may I point out that "wherefore" means why, not where.
