I’m a total nuff on this kind of thing. But what exactly does an announcement about the go ahead for a feasibility study mean in real terms? explain it like i’m 5.

Or, explain it in relational terms.  i’m dating someone new. …. where am I at in this relationship? 

 

Neither of you are committed and still seeing other people.

I just want David Neitz/Brewmanity to release another batch of Demon Brew!

63,212

I assume he might be similar to the Kobe Farmer position. Won't gather much interest in the draft or father/son selection, get an invite to train on over summer and push for a rookie selection. Has the right attributes to get that position and a year at Casey would certainly help with the development and see what happens from there.

I get that this is a niche sponsorship but in that being said, how many people here have bought a Jaguar since they became a sponsor of Melbourne or Vauxhaul before that?

It's not everday you decide to go out and buy a new car, especially with the only thought being oh they support Melbourne so I'll buy whatever they make.

Mates, mates, mates. Does Gary realise women get depression?

Do women not have mates?

We never get crowds against interstate sides, matches against Freo, GWS, Gold Coast, Port etc and always around the mark that turned up yesterday.

Theres a myth that we have large supporter base in hiding after the Geelong and Hawthorn finals. There were lots people at those matches who were neutrals just supporting Melbourne out of pity after years of failure. A few of my friends who support other sides came to those games and did exactly that.

I understand why a lot of people are dissapointed from todays showing. But the way to look at it, we won and there were probably about 16 or more players who played no where near their best.

Fix the connection between Max and the midfield group, fix the goal kicking, get back some key forwards, gradual improvement from the kids. Need to be playing well in the back half of the season not the first.

21,000 is a shizen crowd 

Aside from Anzac Eve and Queens B'day I don't there will be any issues getting tickets for us.

Ahhh ok excellent thanks. As soon as the game is finished is it available to watch straight away? 

You can technically start from the start at any point. So if your out and about and come home at half time you can start it from the start rather than live rather than waiting for the match to finish. But as soon as the match is over you can watch the entire replay.

I'd put Jackon in the middle as mid to try and help with the clearences. Need to try something differen't if the starting mids areb't having any impact.

AFLW Pre season started in Nov I believe but it was not in Oct I don't think.

BUT it had nothing to do with the men's Club pre season timing  which Was Under 4 years started about early Dec for a fortnight  then on Jan 5/6 th the More than 4 years players Commenced and joined in.

Boydie you are about the umpteenth D/L Er that thinks that the men trained FROM October on. If you recall our 2020 season Due to Covid Was delayed and finished about 20 th Sept and players are entitled To 6 weeks leave. Under their agreements. 

The lack of accuracy in posting on D/Land both staggers and disappoints me.

I get what you're saying 58 as I wassn't quite but I also stated I wasn't enritely sure. I wasn't saying the men started training in October. I was suggesting that possibly the AFLW preseason had already started by the time their draft was held which was in October. Just like the men had already started preseason training when their resepective draft occured in December.

On memory the very first year they were paid $5,000 flat fee for the season.   So a definite improvement. How long is it from start of pre-season to end of finals. 

Not quite sure when pre-season started but the draft was in early October so assuming it's like the men they were probably in pre-season at that point. The season is 9 weeks plus I think 3 weeks of finals, quite a substantial amount of time that you would have to input for $14k if you're classified as a Tier 4 player.

One thing I've noticed is there seems to be a lot of player movement between clubs so far. Are the girls just not being offered long contracts? Or at low pay? And is there a salary cap for the competition?

They're mostly on year to year or two year contracts. The pay is definetly low which is why theres a number of cross code players still playing other sports. They generally have normal job and use "annual leave" to play their matches, still a few years away before they would be able to make it their sole profession.

No wonder Saty doesn't get to training much.. too much randomly trolling our players.

I've enjoyed DL a lot more the last 6 months, lets not jinx it...

Just watching the GWS v Adelaide ALFW game. I can see 1 spectator (probably wandered in by mistake). Perhaps the crowd are located on the near side out of camera shot (but I doubt it).

Makes you wonder about the sustainability of GWS??

There's no crowds allowed at either the GWS v Adelaide and Freo v WC games because of the COVID case in Perth the other week.

I am presuming that MCC/MFC members won’t need to book to allow tracing? ? With  our barcode we get automatically recorded entering the “G”.

While they need to know who was at the ground, it's more about knowing where in the ground you were. So I fully expect that everyone will need to book a ticket and that will have your designated seat for that game. I had to do the same thing as a SACA (MCC equivalent in SA) member for the cricket this summer.

Sounds like Tom will be the new Cameron Pedersen, will play where/if required.

I guess not many on here have changed jobs for more money or a better job.

Game over guys. We are disinterested. You can just tell. What a disgrace. 

Spot on. This is the issue, why do they turn up to games and show no interest?

You can't blame any specific players in these games because they're all guilty.

You didn't see De Goey rip the Cats to shreds before his injury layoff?

As I said, "didn't do much". You selected one standout game, his other 5 games were on par with a number of Dee's players who people call to be dropped every week.

Tonight's game aside, we've lost to the other 5 teams we've played above us

We've beaten 12, 13, 15, 17, 18  as well as a depleted Pies at 7

I'm happy, just not getting carried away

Treloar gets the ball 28 times and turns it over 25 times, De Goey didn't do much all year prior to injury and then Howe is a blow to backline. Personally I didn't see them as being depleted, 1 good defender short and thats it.

yes but at least we should've got some value for him given how well he was going

How well he was going? Hey Geelong we want a first round pick for a guy with clinical depression who has broken is foot and does his calf every fortnight, but he kicked 20 goals in 10 weeks 3 years ago.

You can't replace 208cm bloke that marks everything coming his way.

I assume we wont hear from olisik this week seen as we had win?
