Whoever beats the cats is fine with me.

How good has this weekend been. Pies get done, Essendon, tigers, weagles and cats follow suit. Oh and we belted the giants.

They carry a pin.

Excellent review peasant. Saturday night was the first game I have been to since 2019. Covid and night games have kept me at home till Saturday. What a great game to come back to. I have always been someone who much prefered going to a game than watching TV but after the last two years I have got used to watching on TV and it is not as vital now for me to go to a game. I won't be there next Sunday night. Tigers home game so I would end up in the 3rd deck which I don't like, add a night game with hordes of tigers idiots and you have the recipe for watching on the tube. I have been a member for 95% of the years since 1973 but times and situations change. I have made the members commitment again in 2022. I don't see the need / or ability to attend every game now. I would think the MFC have a higher number of older members like me, our bodies are not as young as they used to be so forgive us if we miss a few games each year.

Don't get me wrong the wait seemed a little annoyance after another win. I was just asking the question if this was the norm. It is the first time in at least 5 years that I have driven to a game. I can take this winning stuff, haven't had to resort to the single malt for a long time.

Three that he dropped Brown would have swallowed.

Rab I drove in from the north west and I was surprised at how low the traffic was last night. However on the way home they dont allow cars out for 30 mins after the end. It was a long wait in the car park. I wont drive again unless it is a night game , catching the train on saturday night has proved less than wonderful in the past.

Is there anyone who enjoys the music?

Surprise surprise we got 20k members last night. Easter, night game and playing an interstate team. Similar to a game on mother's Day against an interstate side.

I drove last night because my experience of catching trains on weekend nights is not good. That is the only reason I will do it again. To me night games are a disincentive to going. Having said that I enjoyed a game live. In fact I loved it.

Oh the joy of going to a game. Had a great night but I wonder how much bigger would the crowd have been in the afternoon? AFL don't care if course.

I went by car and parked at the G for the first time in years. Do they normally not let card out of the park for 30 minutes after the game?

Only 20k. All Dees supporters on a Saturday night is a good result IMO.

You have my vote JG. If you wanted to discourage attendance you could hardly do better than the current system.

I could not agree more. If it gets to hard to plan a trip to a game you just give up.

Well I am stunned.! Just went in to try again and there is my entry code without doing any thing.

Oh the joy of living in covid 2022. This morning after deciding to go to my first game since 2019 I went on to the MFC ap as instructed. Result it will not recognise me. Tells me my password is incorrect which it isn't. However to humour the app I changed the password. Still same result. Looks like I will be watching on TV. Can I please just have a card that lets me in the gate. If they want to convince me that I should stay home this is the perfect way.

Gil is on his way out of the tent with a little luck the new person ( almost typed man ) will see junior leagues and the vfl as an area that needs a lot of work and improvement.

Love it DF. It appears your noggin problem has not robbed you of your wit. Hang in there.

A hell of a lot better than 7.30

Just caught the end of a story on the news , seems Petracca is injured!

Cannot say I like the idea Mr. Leg. Night games leave me cold ( pun intended). Cold, trains at night are far from fun, the crap involved in simply getting in and getting home at some ungodly hour. I am trying to convince myself that I should go. The trouble with being the champs is we get very few day games.

Spot on Ernest, more power to you.

You have my vote.

It is well and truely time to have someone who is not one of the " old boys" but I have very little confidence it will happen.
