But its not in the G vicinity binman!

Not surprised Goodwin's contribution is not up binman. It was all of 1 minute and he looked totally disinterested.

After much thought I have decided that a announcement will be made in the next couple of months and this thread will make for interesting reading.

I don't!

It was stated last year that numbers had been reduced. At the AGM this was restated that the staff number are a lot less than in 2019. Was this a previous position that is now vacant? What we don’t know would fill a very large file.

For some time I have been wondering why you would take out a membership of the Tigers / Collingwood etc. there is no way all members can get into any game. Even against the sides like Melbourne. I doubt this will happen but when Melbourne get higher than 50k members I will stop. Two reason at 50k+ they won’t need me and it will mean I am up on the third tier of the stands that I hate. As to your question probably, or they will wait till premium members have notified their intentions then send the email to the poorer members,

Best news we are liable to hear in 2021.

Excuse my ignorance but how is this competition going to operate when the AFL is forecasting trouble already with the senior teams being able to fly around the country. It seems to me folly in the extreme to be starting this system in 2021. Has anyone seen any recent comment about the system from the AFL?

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.

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.

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.

If you don't think that is not the way most football goes see us you are just seeing what you want.

We were not that clever.

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.

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.

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.

The MFC is viewed as a club of silver tails. So expect way less support than a St Kilda or Footscray.

On a good day it is a guess dc. Hard to define guess work.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Good news!

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.

That would leave us up that famous creek.
