That's right but looking back, how the hell could the Pies have fit him into their cap??

Pretty tough conditions I wouldn't want to be playing in 30 degree heat with a swirling wind. Fatigue has to be a factor.

I can't believe I didn't think of that 🤦‍♂️

Thought I was the only one. Even though the game is finished still not working

I'm surprised they don't mix it up more. I mean I kinda get why they do it that way but at least halve the mids and have the first choice defenders on one team and the first choice forwards on the other maybe

Jeez how's Viney cleaning up Riv at 2:20 😲

I'd say its more the supporters, plenty of Cats supporters think he should've been gone a couple of years ago but I think he just got an extension last year.

Oh by the way, can someone send this article to Dogga? 😆

yeah I wish him well (just not against us!) but I think the time has passed for him at MFC. There's a reason we let him go and I don't think it was just homesickness

No - although we could have got him as a FA at the end of 2019 (assuming the Pies didn't swoop in to grab him - not sure how they would have afforded it though)

So the Cats went into a game with multiple unwell players even knowing the covid restrictions etc that were in place? Why haven't they been reprimanded for this? Surely this was against the AFL and WA's covid protocols to let players they knew were unwell out in public let alone take the field.

Looks terrible. Are they trying to say that the 2021 trade period was chaotic and full of surprises? Because I remember it as one of the most dull trade periods I could remember.

Will get one from the Demon Shop on March 16. Also they had more stock of the premiership jumpers and assorted polos as well as the gold logo jumpers at rebel at highpoint on the weekend. Hopefully the Demon Shop is getting more stock of these as well.

65k would be a great base to build off. Sustained success over the next 5 or so years with all the tv/media exposure etc that comes with it should see us meeting the stated goal of 75k and hopefully nudging 80k.

He was on the BUrgo podcast after the GF and pretty sure I heard him on another one too (Deebrief?)

Gawn, Jackson, Daw- not a bad cohort of rucks, doubt many other teams have 3 genuine ruck options on their list

All that plus people were hesitant without widespread vaccinations to attend large crowd events.

Exactly - the apology is issued only because Safework SA found no evidence of breaches of OH&S laws - this doesn't mean that there wasn't significant fallout from the camp among the players.

Jesus reading that has me salivating for round 1 and the defense of the premiership!! Bring it on Great work @picket fence

Trying to bump up Collingwood's crowd numbers 🤔🤣

The 88 and 2000 ones are much better than the 50s/60s ones I reckon. The 50s ones in particular look a bit weird especially the mouths, 64 is good though. The anniversary ones that have been released are pretty good too (there was one for the 55-57 three-peat as well as the 55 and 64 ones with the Demon skewering the Magpie).

I think we're about 10k ahead of where we usually are at this stage so tracking well for 65k

Agree but we seem to have a lot of members who like to sign up at the first game/just prior to the season. I assume the MCC/MFC members are already counted in the tally?

Are they still doing the $1 membership signups though?

That's true but also don't forget North were the first Vic club to rid themselves of pokies. So they've got to the position they're in without the pokies windfall and while continuing to receive crappy fixtures and relatively crappy stadium deals (although an improvement on what it was 5 years ago).
