  1. That is how it looks George and I don’t have any problem with the “ higher you pay the better chance of enter” system. I find it difficult to believe that in the first couple of months there will be more than 50% allowed. By mid year when the vaccinated rates have risen there is a chance of more people being allowed enter.
  2. It is not about alternatives or where the players want to live BW. It is about where the board and a substantial part of the membership wants the facility to be I.e. near the G. Everything else are red herrings.
  3. You are crying in the wilderness Macca. The MFC ( well the board ) are welded to the G and surrounds. It is there or nowhere. I just hope that you all are not still discussing this subject when I am in the ground.
  4. If you don't think that is not the way most football goes see us you are just seeing what you want.
  5. We were not that clever.
  6. I just think when things get hard they don't try as hard as they would for Dogs or cats. Add that to the fact we are putting up the hardest case of any club. Using public open green space in 2021for a football club is far from easy.
  7. Why? Why would a labour government be keen to give money to a mainly conservative voting football club who's members are spread all over Melbourne the majority of which won't vote for them anytime. Compare that to Geelong. Plenty of potential voters to persuade there.
  8. Myth or not CD that is how we are viewed like it or not. I have numerous Pies, Tigers and Bomber member friends, they all call toffs from the MCC. The MFC is viewed as an off shoot of the MCC we have had numerous Liberal party members / leaders as board members and Office holders over the years. A number of X players have been liberal members of parliament in Vic and TAS. Our members are predominately conservative. A Labour government would know there is hardly any votes in the MFC.
  9. The MFC is viewed as a club of silver tails. So expect way less support than a St Kilda or Footscray.
  10. On a good day it is a guess dc. Hard to define guess work.
  11. It was like the information night all over again in one important area. Our coach appeared for 1 minute and looked like he was forced to appear. I hope is more motivating to the team but last night he looked like he was on death row.
  12. All of those things are important Dannyz. But other than 2018 we have continued the tradition of being irrelevant to the competition. As Peter Jackson said the reason for our existence is to win games of football. In the final analysis we have again failed the main reason we exist.
  13. LH even thought I don’t agree with the MFC wanting to be close to the G I can understand their position. The question I have is it realistic ? I guess as a doubter I could be proved wrong any day but my personal desire is for the FD to have the best facilities to enable them to achieve their best on field results. Where that facility is I do not care, now that probably puts me in the minority. I would like to see it take place at the earliest date and before I leave this earth but ever year that passes makes that harder to imagine. Can the MFC please do two things in the next couple of years. Get the bloody facility under way and play finals regularly. If those are not achieved this administration will join the honour board of administrations we have endured over the last 56 years.
  14. There wasn't one for Peter Jackson either. He was at the AGM after he left I sat about 2 rows from him. Bloody poor form.
  15. Yes they know that ht. The point was that the theater was not observing the requirements. In the same night the tennis Centre was operating at about a third capacity.
  16. That would leave us up that famous creek.
  17. Thanks for the confidence boost picket. sadly I agree. This the third date change.
  18. Isn't that a large part of Pert's job?
  19. Covered it better than me deevotee.
  20. I don't remember exactly but he finished his often repeated words that we have heard numerous time with the next thing you will hear will be from the state government. The impression I got was the government would be making an announcment. Which seemed strange. You would expect a dual press conference or dual annoucement. I guess nothing at the MFC follows the normal way of things.
  21. They both say there were no spare seats anywhere. My wife wanted to leave but stayed because my daughter said we will be ok with our masks on.
  22. After listening to the AGM tonight I hope the Tigers are doing it and we can share as I don’t think we have 5 cents to rub together when it come to extra costs.
  23. Yes and the house looks as solid as a rock Mr. Leg.
  24. I suspect that is the idea.
