TradeDraft you will be happy to hear this

Had someone close to me spend a lot of time with Sandilands in Perth yesterday

They got talking about Ruckman and Sandi said Grundy was one of the harder blokes to play on said he has aggression which not many Rucks have these days and said give it 3 years he will be the best in the comp

He also said Witts will be very good as well and we might struggle to keep both

I don't think we'll struggle to keep both, if we play both in the same team and they (or even one) can show something up forward.

Who knows after the last couple years nothing will surprise me anymore when it comes to Collingwoods list management

It is an utter disgrace that the club is so happy to market their scalping of tickets based on a day that means so much to so many people. /QUOTE]
Agreed.
That's what has disappointed me the most.
Watching a clip on the website and it's preceded by a promo for Anzacday 3 game membership FFS.

Just letting you know the Pies rip off their fans. An upcoming "Gabba Road trip to Metricon" for gabba members includes tickets the "Skyline Terrace" to watch the Lions v Suns game is $80 per member (see below). Collingwood charge their fans $275 for the exact same privilege when they play the Suns at Metricon:

If by rip off you mean charge more, yes they clearly do.
They do it because they can as they know we, (those that can afford it) will attend.
No-one is forced to pay, I'm going to the game but steering clear of that 'cos it's too expensive.
It's called leveraging your supporter base and ensures our on-going viability.

Isn't the Gabba membership like MCC membership? Would there be many Collingwood fans/members that were Gabba members?

I don't have any problem with collingwood fans being charged more if this is the case

Peptipe Bummer fans are sooks.

In 3rd Qtr I was yelling at the Scumpies and Called them a Dickheads. Then a Security Guard told me not to call Scumps Dickheads and keep my Excitement down a bit.

WTF - I thought that was a Reason you come to the Footy

I love your passion dave but paying to go to the footy doesnt give you any more rights than any other civilian. Eg it is not appropriate to be yelling that someone is a dickhead in a public space.

All within reason though TD, you have remember to keep it bit civil as there are a lot of kids and families at the footy. Swearing and bad language isn't appropriate and there are many other ways of voicing your displeasure such as booing and the like but displaying excitement is OK.

If you have a mobile. You can send a text to the anti social hotline they advertise at the game. People will come and tell him to settle down....just like you today

Well Dave, maybe you could just be the better man and set an example for him by watching your language - after all if he stuck his head in an oven would you???

(Can't believe I just channeled my parents!)
