Bitter but optimistic

Hawkins captain!!!! FMD !!!! I'm going to open another bottle - but it will be a cheap one !

What do have to do to be an All Australian boundary umpire?

Yeah and Fritta didn't even make the bench!!

Christ ...both the Geelong girls got in!

Geez this is an amateurish show.. Jono Brown reading the autocue ....... FMD !!! Kath Loughnan has nice shoulders though

Max is better!

Pendles !!!!!!! ? Get [censored] !!!!!!!!

Best Captain? Has to be Max ....surely !

Geez. Danger would be a big party personality Would have made a great wooden Indian statue - like they used to have in front of American Tobacco shops

Yep.... no doubt about it ..... he's a total ( ) insert your adjective of choice ! Anything I write gets edited.

Could someone explain why (edited name ) Robbo is using this occasion to raise the Zorko/ Petty incident? FMD!!! He is the chief football writer for a major paper. The standard of "journalism" in this country is a joke.

Just turned it on - bet ( edited name) Robbo is hanging out for a beer.

Or.... more importantly ..... so much wine, so little time.

For my interest D'stone - when was GF extra time rule introduced?

We'll all get a better picture after he has a hit out in the VFL but .... it's hard to picture him being match fit for finals level of footy

FMD !!!! There is not enough shiraz in The Manor to drown that image!!!

I get your point Jaded - I've posted along those lines ..... but ... "plebs" ! FMD ! You are being disrespectful to our fellow members!

Haha ! Yeah mate ...... you're right !!

No doubt you are correct Dr. and it is the MCC or AfL make these decisions. However, it is up to the club to represent its members. Surely the MFC is not without influence. Further, I'm sure other clubs have similar issues. It would be interesting to see how, say, the filth supporters went when purchasing their finals tickets today. The AFL should ultimately represent the clubs who in turn, represent their members.

I've followed most of this thread. There's been some happy posts and some bloody sad posts. Overall though there has been far too much confusion and far too many problems. We are club members who pay up. We represent reliable money in the bank for the club and the AFL. We deserve better treatment. Consider the facts. We have 60000 plus members, so lets allocate them 10 tickets each! Even my basic grasp of mathematics suggest that something is amiss with that equation! We have 2 major games coming up in 2 weeks ( two weeks away). Well logically let's put the tickets for both on sale at the same time. FMD! Oh and for good measure, let's sell those tickets through an online system that seems designed to be as obtuse as possible. There are computer systems that can land and operate a dinky toy on Mars FFS! Surely the AFL could do just a little bit better?

That's a terrific picture - certainly worth a thousand words. It would simultaneously make a Carlscum supporter cry and confuse the [censored] out of a filth supporter!

Just don't get into any punch ons od !

My mate, also a premium member, used his barcode to buy 6 good tickets - 4 non members. No fault on him of course. I put this on the club.. Paying members must get better treatment.

The game won't be a sellout, so surely everyone who wants a ticket will be accommodated !

I'm in, not that far from my usual Trident seats. Of course I had to hire a computer guru to do the work for me!
