I don't think that it includes the McClelland Trophy money is included in the revenues from reading the report, unless it is in the AFL distributions amount. The prize money was only 298k. Edit - Just read the website article, is to be included in the 2024 results, starts the year with a bang!

Cricket starts in 20...

[censored] sweet learnings this week. Learnings for everyone. Woo!

Echo the forward line comments. Inability to lower eyes, or for leads, players making space or basic forward craft was absent in my very humble opinion. Petracca needs to accept that his power kicks at goal are woefully ineffective and look for a target. Just bloody frustrated.

Except for the one reiwoldt is about to kick after this centre bounce to undo it all... **Stand corrected!

That free kick must be what bulldog supporters expect watching the footy all every week ...

Must be running out of steam and new information - Jack said this was on Fox early last week after it first happened and its only hit the Hun now... and watching the show it sounded like he was just recounting some locker room stories from over his career, not much more!

100% this re Jack Jumpers. York park is a better football venue than bellrieve for me, but if this stadium gets up and is anywhere near half as good as the concept art is, I think that there will be less of an argument. That's not to say a 3/9 setup for games North v South wouldn't happen anyway a la Giants with Giants Stadium and Canberra.

I have always said that if Tassie got a team I would get a membership in some capacity, no questions asked - Not to say that I would give up my support for the Dees! Would absolutely go to games here when ever possible. But there is now way i would give a red [censored] cent to a relocated AFL club. Don't want their history, culture, or supporters... have more than enough of our own here already. And as far as Geelong always having a big crowds at Kardinia , there are less than 35k that can fit in there. If they get 20+ it seems like a decent crowd. Hardly an achievement for mine. Hell, the Haw V Brisbane Match at York park got more in attendance this week than WBv GCS & GWS v WCE combined.

Just cause I was interested, in 2013 the Roos kept us to 28 points, our lowest score in that period although it was under Neil Craig. Admittedly they kicked 150 points against us but they also weren’t a prelim finalist the prior year. Just for ****z and gigs.

There used to be a membership category called "demon seats - undercover" that was on level 1 on the wing. Had GF guarantee too if I remember correctly ...

Big footy Thread linking to all club reports for 2021 if you like comparisons - We aren't there yet as the accounts haven't been released... https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/2021-financials-thread.1286821/ Can look back at the leaner years as well for context about how things have changed!

Had one of the Foil prints arrive ( sorry for the reflection and the marks, need to wipe it down when I get home!) I reckon it looks great, also grabbed one of the Wegart ones as well, only issue is as above, the 21 looks a bit slapped on compared to the original lettering style.

Thats what I was getting at, I have a feeling that I read somewhere that this membership excludes QB, Anzac eve and interstate home games. But how there was no token/qualification method to take it up had me surprised, as you say, anyone could grab a free one. The Coll mate said he signed up (grain of salt here) so I am staying onto him about whether he gets a membership pack...

All good OD, I have hit year 17 on membership, so i'm already spoken for!

Sorry if its been mentioned somewhere else, but what is this about? Seems to be a link to a free 3 game membership for us. Any Idea why the club is sending these out (on ozbargin website)I have removed the link, but anyone can head and look, or I can PM it (I have gone to the site and had a look, a collingwood mate sent it to me, so that was a fun text exchange :/) The link is to mfcde.es so the domian looks correct. "Just got an SMS from the Melbourne Demons inviting me to take up a free 3-game membership. I believe it can be used for home games at the MCG (possibly not for sellout games but uh… will any be selling out?) The text message was targeted but it looks like anyone can submit the form at (Link Redacted) Paying it forward because I got my original free membership after seeing it on OzB!"

The Kayo app is pretty good, don't get me wrong. I have an apple TV (4th gen) and it works well, as well as running it on my laptop and connecting it to the TV via HDMI. Still no support for Xbox or Playstation, but I suspect that it will be this year. There are replays from 2018 onwards only (not that I am chasing much outta 2013...) but most relevant is the fact that as Fox does not have rights to the finals series, the 18 finals replays for example are not available on Kayo...

Part of the pinch here will be mobile data if you are out and about. AFL was unmetered, I liked to watch matches etc while at the gym, made easier as the data did not come off my mobile monthly usage. Will be the killer for me...

Least I have another "Proud to Belong" email to look forward to this week...

Can’t seem to kick, take a contested mark, receive the ball, collect a ground ball, keep on our feet or aim a tackle below shoulder height. Glad we are fit though. bloody frustrating.

For sure, there is a bit of a gap in the stats!

Wow, lock it up now!!!

Big night for the eagles and the umps tonight...
