No sorry to say, I don't think MFC were chosen for many of the televised games back then 😞 Most of my stuff is from 1987 onwards though I do have a bit of early 80s stuff as well.

Some of those suburban grounds would've definitely given the Kentucky Derby a run in the decadence and depravity stakes 🤣

Yep although I'm wondering if he means 1990, "Darren Bennett used Van der Haar like a stepladder"

Maybe we should do handouts to EFNL players?

I just bought a digital membership for the kayo sub and couldn't see a running tally for 2026, anyone have any idea how we're tracking?

I have a tonne of games on VHS, DVD and hard drive after starting collecting/trading with others about 15 years ago. There's a group of pretty avid collectors that have heaps of stuff not on YouTube dating back to the early days of TV. I'm gonna try and start uploading to my YouTube channel shortly, will update here when I do.

Once bitten...

Been saying this for years but the game is no longer a sports comp it is an entertainment vehicle. Hence the return of SOO, wildcard BS, Thursday Night footy etc etc, all about satisfying the media rights.

This is incorrect, state games/carnivals had been happening since the dawn of the VFL. State of Origin under the rules we know commenced in 1977.

Why would you want to close the threads? Just stop opening them if you don't want to engage with them, that's what I do when I saw the other garbage threads that pop up on here.

Have we ever tried to link a community benefit to this project? Many other clubs have tied in community benefits to make it a more palatable sell for the government but I don't recall hearing any tie-ins with us? I've said it before but we should be tieing in with Reach to have a community centre for disadvantaged youth, name it after Jim Stynes, it's a home run.

Cheers, I've been listening to Bongripper a lot this year, love the instrumental doom while I'm reading. Electric Wizard (mark 1) always a favourite obviously. Will give those others a go l.

NFL plays weekly and has one bye per season. Some games are played off 3 or 4 day breaks (Sun/Mon into Thurs) and they have an increasing number of games played overseas (England, Ireland, Germany, Brazil, Mexico next season Australia).

Favourite bands? Looking for some new stuff to get into.

Carrrist pf, open your eyes

Or took some carefully crafted statements from government as a rolled gold commitment to the project only to find it was anything but?

Wow, sounds promising 🥴

I don't understand the point of people posting in threads they don't understand the point of continuing. If you don't want to read, don't open the thread. 🤷‍♂️

How long til an article appears that Richo is seeking opportunities outside the club?

Good, not great. Not up there with the truly elite midfielders of the 21st century.

If permanent psychological scarring is a qualifier for best then sure. My son will be haunted by that game just like I'm haunted by 92 ANZAC Day v Essendon and 186/148.

Just use Hells Bells/Enter Sandman (other songs? By Demons Be Driven or any other satanic music) whatever we choose for the run through the banner/warmup and keep GOF for after the final siren when we win.

You were saying?
