How often have you heard the coach say ' our forward line is a work in progress. Dozens I bet. I think the airport rail link is closer to finish than our forward line. We worry so much about the forward line that its coach is a ruckman.

Here is a left wing idea employ a forward line coach who was a forward. How about Jack Reiwolt. Just retired kicked many goals, in successful team.

On thursday night sitting at the city end watching the forward line up close, the number of times with the ball approaching into our forward area, JVR and TMAC standing shoulder to shoulder next to each other. For gods sake split and offer multable options to the on coming ball carrier.

Learn how to kick over the preseason at a 21 mtr wide target because simply we cant.

Thank you very much Daniel. Being in my 70s and not up to speed with high tech[ I dont even own a mobile phone]. I went into MFC my account and changed my password and BINGO up popped my barcodes . Next H&M season pop down to 52k2 and I will by you a beer.  signed GREY HAIRED OLD BUGGER.

Daniel I have a physical card and there are 4 nos on the back, a number above the barcode, a member number higher on the card and 2 numbers one on the left and right of the barcode. Neither the barcode nor the member number is recognised by the MFC account .

I am a 35 year member and cat 1 ticket holder. No bar code has been sent, no email. Other people love this time of year but I hate it having to battle with this stupid computer system. It takes all the joy out of finals. Ticktet is the daniel andrews of the computer world.

How do I get my barcode? I dont have an MFC account.

The problem isnt about connection between mids and forwards, get kingy in and he will throw dozens of stats at you

Its all bum fluf. Our one problem is we cant hit a target 7.5 metres wide often enough. We are getting plenty of shots on goal, plenty. Alot of them set shots from good angles. Our scores show if we can hit that 7.5 mt target we will win most games. They are prof. footballers who canr kick. Thank god they arnt surgeons, dead everywhere.

Thanks Titan.

    I got to thinking, this will be Grundys first game at the cattery. He first played in 2013 and collingwood havnt played there this century.

So who plays at the cattery, well we have won another one, most down there.

The following is the list from most AFL favoured to most hated. 2000-2023

collingwood.... 0    essendon....2    carlton.....3      hawthorn.....3     gold coast.......7      gws......7      richmond.......8

st. kilda.......11      pt adel......13    fremantle.....14    w.coast........14      w bulldogs.......15     adelaide.....16      sydney.......16

brisbane......17     n. melb.......18         And folks you guessed it MELBOURNE.....19.      In looking this up I noticed that round 14  2015   adelaide  vs  geelong  match was cancelled, can anybody remember why?

From round 7, all parking at the G will have to be purchased on line from Ticktec.

This is on the MCC website Once again if you dont have a mobile phone you just dont park at the G.

First refusing to axcept Australian money, then having to use credit cards now that isnt good enough, having to prepurchase parking tickets online from of all people.... TICKETEC.

Great article BB, its time we stopped thinking about the me. How close we are to Gosches paddock and how only peasants live miles away.

The question that needs to be asked and the only question  is, what is best for the MFC. The club  and only the club, not us landers.

As long as we share facilities with other codes we will be turfed off of our training ground, which is happening for the womens soccer. Are we happy to be a gypsy football club at the bec and call of every piddly code.

Its time we became the MFC not the CBD football team.

By the way  I dont live near Caufield but at Pakenham, 40 ks away.

In  relation to the home base saga.  I believe we are at loggerheads with ourselves. There are two sides to this subject, WANT and NEED

We want to have all our training and admin departments in one place at the G , or as close as possible. But we dont need this for our club. There is a difference, I dont think in this day we can get the want. But I believe we can get the need.

To me this is the Caufield race course. Now I am not privy to any of the costings,planing and all the gov [censored] but Caufield meets our need.

By the way I dont live within 40ks of Caufield.

I am a 34 year member, sat in the rain, sat and watched us get beat by 186 points at geelong, didnt leave early, Tried to buy 2 tickets today with 2 membership cards, not 10. after 1 hour of watching a blue line  cross the screen we got through only to be locked out on the next screen.

Rang the club, SORRY SIR was the reply WE DONT HAVE ANY SAY WITH TICKTEK.  I am a member of the MFC not ticktek. So its goodbye 34 years of attending as a member and the thousands of dollars we spent, as a blue collar worker some years we couldnt really afford the money but we did.

So goodbye.

For all those who DONT think having a big name matters at the AFL.  Question: which player in 2021 concussed 3 opposition players that year and didnt get suspended? But wait theres more he also broke an opponents eye socket for the hell of it.

Not only didnt he get reported or suspended for it he didnt even have a free kick awarded against him.

Yes you guess it our old mate TOM, by the way May says I hope I didnt damage your elbow with my eye socket.

Not exactly about crowd numbers, but I have noticed more very young supporters in DEES jumpers at games. Not surprising, but a lot of hawk adults had young kids in tow with Demons gear on.

Are we now appealing to the very young fans now?

Two things,  do you think weeds would make a good wingman? And isnt it great after Hird goes to coach gws they put in like last night.

I guess what ever it takes.

How would you like to be carlton. In the last 2 games they have be awarded 16 50 mtr penalties including two 100 mtr ones. 

It will be interesting when they play footscray the umpires will be totally confused in who to support. 

The AFL want a record this weekend, guess what no general parking at the G all weekend. Only parking for the toffs and disabled.

Think Gil needs to tell his vision to the  MCG hob nobs.

Ah the modern world where everything is quicker and simpler, all thanks to the mobile controller. Remember the bad old slow days when you rocked up and showed your membership card and you were in.[ bar code from 1998]

Now in this techno crap slow confused world we are saved, think so , just read the several pages of confusion above.

While mobile confusers  are handy to a lot of people they restrict your life in others. Think not, I was refused a booster shot because  I didnt have a mobile confuser. But in true computer logic the chemist staff punched in 04000000000 a dummy number so what good is it.

Just tell me with a strait face the new system is more efficient, quicker and less confusing than a simple card. I have phoned the AFL in regards to the new system they didnt want to know and blamed the clubs, the MFC blamed the AFL. So no membership card to use and save for our 14th flag.   

Stood on the outer wing all day, on the fence. Langdon just in front of us all day, boy can he motor. He also has the one on one skills to match. Had six opponents over the game beat the lot.

During the first qtr north kicked it out on the full five times all on our side of the ground. During the game looked at the score board and we were 18 goals we score so quickly at times, north looked slow and hesitant. By the way we need to get the umpires down to training to explain to us where we are going wrong with the rules. The free kick count for the first qtr{ excluding out on the full] was 14 to 1 against us, and 27 to 11 all day. We must be very bad, particularly our tacking only 1 was rewarded.

Good team effort and at one stage BBB had scored as many goals as north 5. 

Venue looked great, a small grandstand on the outer needed but great ground.   

Went to casey council this morning enquiring about the tickets. You can only obtain the tickets online at Casey council website, click on EVENTS and follow the directions.

These go on line and they put you on the list for entry. They are online from tomorrow {9-11}and you need to be double Vax to get in.  They are free.

Question, how many times have you watched the GF replay? I cant get enough of it. After the GF I stood out side on the front lawn yelling as loud as I could for the mighty DEES, all the while crying.

I think all of Pakenham heard me.

State gov phase two wont be announced until mid next year.[my opinion]  State election November next year, so hold it till then to announce it . Bribe the people and hope they forget the 801 deaths.

Just got my 2 tickets for Sat game. Had to go through ticketec, they are hopeless. No seats were av anywhere, and we have reserved seating M52. Rang the club ,finally got through, they said they were still on 25% cap.  They went away and finally got us seats in M16 .

Ticketec and the AFL couldnt run a brothel in an army camp on pay night, they would lose money. 

For all those people saying just train to Richmond and watch training at Goschs. After the new train underground goes in no trains from the SE suburbs will go through Richmond. None, no Pakenham or Cranbourne trains through Richmond. I still cant figure out how all the people on Anzac eve game going to the SE will get on the Frankston train. 

Compare this to the MAY strike. May broken eye socket and concussion from a Hawkins errant elbow and May dosnt even get a free kick. Thats right folks, its play on. 

After having problems with TICKETEC for rd1 and todays article by Nth Melb official on members embrassing technogly for games admissions.  How do we as a club enable long time members get into games if they dont own a smart phone or computer. As a club we owe it to members who have paid for decades, supporting the club through thick and mainly thin to watch their DEES.

Please dont label these fellow members, Luddites or tell them to pay many hundreds of dollars for a smart phone.  They cant phone the club as the club is just overloaded with calls and you cant get through. If they cant get to the games they will just cease being members and we need everybody on board.

HOW DO WE HELP THESE MELBOURNE SUPPORTERS.
