old dee

I got a SMS on Monday 17th saying it was with Aust post. Still nothing on 26th. Not the slightest problem to me I don't need it till March. However it does show the stupidity of promising delivery before Christmas.

I think I know the censored word and agree. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Having read the last page of this august thread I can only assume that a number of people have been into the Christmas cheer a little early. I only hope after an early start you all have the stamina to go the distance.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Nasher.

Loosen up guys it is a small joke.

Your big mistake Mr. Leg is you are being logical. That will never succeed with Greenies using logic.

There are a number of rumours a couple I am not going to put in print.

Sorry I meant the FD has inside knowledge

Inside knowledge dieter?

I live for the day this problem arises CBDees. On reflection it is possible in the next couple of years and you can guarantee nothing will be available by then. If we are playing in a GF the club will arrange a venue for the occasion if required.

Their ground is not even in Richmond.

They have been using our ground for home games for 50 years dc stranger things can happen. Having said that I think there is next to no chance the MFC have anything but Yarra park in mind.

At last nights AGM there were a number of questions on this subject. Bartlett and Pert consistently held the line that Yarra park was achievable and they were pressing on. When the subject of other options was raised they quickly moved the conversation back to Yarra park. Too costly or too far away seemed to be the comment about other options. IMO they see yarra park as easily the best option if they have a plan b they were not going to give it air last night. Again it is only my opinion but they are locked into a Near MCG option and nothing else is on the radar. They could of course be using this to get better support for option b we will all just have to wait and see.

Exactly!

Thanks for info LH. Actually worked out I will be away for 4 homes matches next year so I will stay with GA membership.

A friend got his yesterday. Nothing yet to me.

Hey Gorgoroth how about them Rams?

If he is not already Gil will go down as the worst GM of the AFL.

We are as one on this dc. The whole thing is dead it just has not fallen over yet.

Yes I would think the only thing lower is Metho!

Because there is no loss to them they have the member payments whether they turn up or not. They are just giving away a few seats in the top deck that they have effectively already been paid for by the members. If we have 50k members the situation will be similar. This year you cannot upgrade your membership. I tried and they were sold out in mid October.

My would be a member of a club with 100 000 members? Most games you would struggle to get a seat and you cannot buy reserved seats any longer. Makes no sense to me. I have friends who are long term members of Richmond they have had reserved seats for years and tell me that if you ever gave up your seat you would never get another. They cannot get seats for their grand Children. I don't go to melb games at the G that are the home games of the Tigers and Pies now. Just too hard.

Beware of Magpies bearing gifts RG? Sorry small joke.

Glad you realised who pays the bills and calls the tune Ernest. For a while there I thought you imagined the AFL had spectators intetests at front of mind.

Not many Ernest, many are tarred with the same brush. Still enjoy NBA and NFL but I know they are not paragons of virtue. My problem with big time sport Ernest is there is too much money involved which leads to Performance drug taking and the participants losing track of the real world. I used to go to NBL games but they deleted my team and as a result I cannot find the same interest. Over things take up the space in my life.
