old dee

Ok here goes I was rung by a person from the club, not the President or Gary Pert. However they were of some importance and I believe they were well informed and honest. Basically what I have thought for some time appears to be correct and the information provided by Dante is correct. WE are now in a long term situation meaning nothing is going to happen fast. We have little power and are at the mercy of the Government, AFL and MCC. The club is bound to a secrecy agreement that they will not disclose details of discussions. The reason other clubs are getting money is because they have a site to spend it on. We do not. They have looked at approx 30 venues within the middle ground of Metro Melbourne and while they would prefer to be close to the G they will look at any venue that the Government brings forward. He was adamant that the Olympic park Magpies episode would not happen again. Currently we are using Goschs and Olympic park facilities and Casey. He believes that between the two we have facilities as good as most of our competitors. The club is committed to both venues for Girls , boys and VFL teams. also said they need both as one venue is not enough for the three operations. He also said that contrary to popular beliefs the players do not see travelling to Casey as a big problem in fact they enjoy being able to train in privacy. While admitting that it would be good to have one home for the whole club he did no believe the current situation was placing us at a disadvantage to other clubs. Now some of the above you can say well he would say that wouldn't he. My view is we are some time away from a central home for Players and fans but currently we are not at a disadvantage.I firmly believe it is not for want of trying, there is just currently no spot.

Hi everyone I posted the link below I hope it works. It is about the fans when the World cup winners tried to do a city tour. I cannot imagine this happening in Australia for anything. I have said in the past I don't understand Soccer/ fans. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Flionelmessi24h.vercel.app%2Fchao-argentina-riots-in-the-parade-forcing-messi-and-teammates-to-change-plans-immediately%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2jdXQCEtfwU7ApZuJ_UUEk9oDcBuNUEMEjfO-iQIQHBT1_RaUhu0ZZ2RM%23utm_source%3DTrinhVo%26utm_medium%3DMessiFansForever&h=AT2qTRy1RQpgyDCKHxesIwzaxPLYGGnxr590Jv6_01fCWu48fi2qDghJCOwJRhMuAO0oqvfkHZlG8R15JZMUgWTX1nD1KpePPJuD91m6mgFtZFk8aLhyuBcyudV2dVKldP6D&__tn__=%2CmH-R&c[0]=AT3GMitazQbOlXbjFJMcdXTfXq8u_Hn6v7pycWqS8h9_B53SgJjazXZin9NQ_0EE_xV5h5b-IEdCwlb5_LOhAjBJ2D2OILrATjRXsfhG6vosoimx5z-BwKgix8tNsXa50aFzAoDE3oVkp-NCAGgvb1b4w4X4MeGNlu7xljE0bUIM-h6_DGxyzfXEAL-RseC4w83PnB715BwYjhcARHQ

Or less!

I have had a reply to my "what's happening " email to the President. Sorry to be a pain but I need to think a little about it before going into print.

Wow you scored compared to my "ordinary member " package KDF. Mine came loose in a post pack. I guess the you get what you pay for rule applies.

Your not!

That's one of the reasons I like it. Action a plenty. However I enjoy the live game much better than TV. IMO it is similar to Aussie rules. Much better live than on tv. The sad part for me is going to games is not as easy as it used to be, I have had to get used to the TV version.

Tuition

Basketball for me Rab.

That is simply not the case I posted it as I thought that one of the most amazingly bad supporter efforts should be discussed. I don't hate Soccer, I don't understand it but I have no axe to grind.

When was that? 😋

I set it up Rab, the only motivation was to comment on the terrible situation where a game was cancelled in My city last night because of two groups of thugs who ruined the game. Nothing more or less.

Not to me as I did not watch it. However 2- 2 in soccer would appear to be a big score line. I am not canning Soccer I just don't understand the game.

Try as I might I don't understand the flares in soccer games. Does anyone know?

One of my sisters and her husband lived in England for two years. He described a similar situation to your comments above George. He went to two games of the top league and one were he was among the visitors. The home team could not leave the ground until the visitors had all gone and we're on trains etc. It is no due to my upbringing as a Aussie rules family in the country but last nights affair is just so far removed from my experiences it seems like it should be in another country.

Make the goals a metre wider, scoring problem solved.

I know it is not AFL or the Dees but soccer has had a good week. Shot themselves in the foot twice in the one week. First the finals fiasco and then the riots last night. I don't understand the game but it is distressing to see fellow melbourneians acting like complete idiots. Thank god my game as not descended to these levels. I would never take my GDs to a soccer game, I just hope they don't feel the need to play it.

Yep too far.

Oh no I feared for the insurance industry today.

Me too I have changed my mind since her comments.

Not sure why you are connecting the two. Can't you walk and chew gum?

Serious question DF what is your motivation for going to Adelaide? Would you go to a normal MFC game in Adelaide? Will you go to any other game that weekend? I have genuine interest in Why.

And only a decision in five years, God knows how long before works would start. It is IMO time to drop the close to the G requirement. A large number of the current players won't be even playing by then.

Then why don't they just tell us that Dante? It seems they are very frightened to tell the position we are in.

Many of us will be dead DC so that will reduce the volume of comments.
