    Just cede stadium land to the City of Geelong and the Victorian Government will pay for it.
  2. You may as well try bravado when your team is going down the drain for the next five years. If they'd had forums on the late 1960s you can only imagine what our fans would have been going on about.
  3. Against all odds I've found something official - who knows why it's on this website and not the Demon Shop. https://www.htfm.com.au/products/melbourne-2022-aflw-premiers-official-print-frame-5370?_pos=1&_sid=81109be2d&_ss=r
  4. Still waiting for his hub return
  5. I take it there's more premiership merch on the way? I know they're not going to sell a million, but some sort of picture of the premiership team should be a minimum. At the moment they've got a replica jumper for $140 and the ugliest t-shirt since the early 90s.

    As I said in the post above the culture of the sport has glorified [censored] mob behaviour like no other. This is a stain on the game but it's not representative of the entire sport and the literally thousands of games that take place every week around the world with no crowd trouble inside or (more often) outside the ground. Your theory that they get a bit bored and decide to brawl/rip a flare that would have stayed in the pocket if they were watching (what you perceive to be) a more exciting game is so ludicrous it's painful to argue.

    Because the dregs of society get together in a group, feed off each other's macho [censored] and are more often than not either [censored] off their face or coked to the eyeballs. I'm not denying that the culture of the game glorifies this stupidity in ways that other sports haven't (although there are many examples of mobs making violent idiots of themselves in other sports), but given that the majority of trouble worldwide happens either before or after games it's hardly consistent with people getting antsy and walloping somebody with a bucket because there hasn't been a goal for 20 minutes.

    Need a premiership bumper sticker to balance the 2021 one on the other side of the car.

    The idea that people punch on at soccer games because there's not enough scoring could be the dumbest sporting theory ever floated.
  10. She is an absolute legend, but if you're being ruthless her cliff is rapidly approaching. Regardless, if she goes it's obviously for personal reasons so would be hard to begrudge her after years of quality service.
  11. Letting people buy 10 tickets at a time for a severely limited capacity venue would be the biggest extraction of pi$$ ever. I did it about a minute in and got GA ticket #18 so either there was a fair rush on in the next few minutes or they're going to discover a few tickets after getting the positive publicity for selling out quickly.
  12. Impulse bought a flight at the final siren. Never been more worried about 'venue subject to change'.
  13. The way the AFL runs this competition there's something appropriate about playing the Grand Final at a local park.
  14. If the lab clones him do we automatically get Petracca V2 or does he go into the draft?
  15. Incredible preview image on the video.
  16. 51 weeks a year people treat Robbo like the guy who runs the ferris wheel at a local fair, then his top players list come out and there's genuine surprise that he's got NFI.
  17. Always a highlight on the football calendar.
  18. The centre clearance and kick to Hore for the second goal were superb. I already knew getting Harris and Birch from other clubs on the cheap was great business but Purcell has been fantastic.
  19. That was a wild ride in the middle of some of the worst teams we've ever put out. All these years later, the highlights video with Alan Partridge commentary is still gold.
  20. No issue if he arrives for nothing, gets paid KFC wages, and is happy to sit behind the 'break in case of emergency' glass at Casey.
  21. At least we had the manners to pay pick 2 for Jeff White* * and rort the salary cap to fit him in.
  22. I like Bedford but it's a fact of life that somebody's going to fall off the edge of good sides. Usually they go to a rotten side and do nothing, but at least he'll get to play every week and prove it one way or the other.
  23. Hogan, Preuss and Bedford would be one of the most random collections of ex-MFC players ever.
