Not how I saw it…
Good by him to say he would do the interview.
The ribs comment was just trying to get Pickett (?) off for punch / open hand.
Having met Clayton a few times… he is always uncomfortable. Which surprised me that he was happy to be the “face” for Melbourne tonight. Not sure he would have done that a year ago.
Semi-informed theory….
Club placed order for X and got that delivery. Allocated it out. Some of us got product.
Supporters purchased Y volume, far exceeding X. Club placed top up order. This is fulfilled after all other retailers orders (which were in prior to Y order being placed).
Purchased one of the foil ones - whatever that is. Haven’t received any comms, etc. Not concerned. I’m still waiting for Melbourne to Melbourne parcels from early Sept
I will give you another quote, said day after GF….
”makes it very hard for young players to return home (to play AFL) when they know they have a 10 year reunion to attend”
So far from my 15km, but when I am allowed and the products arrive.. you are in. Last thing I want is a Collingwood or Hawks supporting framing my goods!
Some classics in the match day thread…
My favourite is Picket’s:
“Max is not a captain’s [censored]”
Soidee
”Clarko, can we get him?”
Coobs
”can we sack Goodwin”
”Classic Goodwin”
Demonland
”Max having a shocker tonight”
Usually the ballot is held some weeks prior to the GF… meaning people get tickets, their team doesn’t make GF and seat/s go empty…
Hopefully… the ballot is run in week of GF and/or people have the ability to give up their tickets if they won’t be used.
I would hate to get tickets in the ballot a few weeks prior and take someone’s else opportunity away from seeing their team (if Melbourne don’t make it).
2000 and 2018 if felt like we got on a roll…
This year… it feels much more than that.
In 2000, after 13rounds we were 6w 7l
2018 in was up and down - put teams away and then had “Adelaide like” loses
