The thing I'm noticing, also though, is the number of neutrals who are starting to have a go on our behalf about how there's so much more winging and whining than ever before. That it's becoming stupid. Usually it's only us that have to rebut the stupidity, but we are now actually getting some help. Not every BF poster is against us, and while I've known this for a long time, it's actually nice to see some of them speaking up.
 
Job done, bloody painful though. 10 mins in the queue and I had an old account so had the modify all the details. Wondering if I'd have to mug a Bulldogs supporter for their tkts for a few minutes.
Dont get why people like ticketmaster, I really am getting to old for this. They should have an over 50 priority queue!

The downside to this weekends draw is, assuming we both win, swans fans will have a 24hr jump on us in booking flights and accommodation for the GF.

For that reason, looks like I'm barracking for the Cats on Friday.

We've already booked our accommodation (no fee cancellation) and I'm hoping that our major sponsor might put a couple of extra "Giant Flights" on for supporters.
 
I hope people change their allegiance for the finals on their account. Right now when I respond to someone on the main board I cant tell if their a dual member residing in Sydney or a GWS hater. :oops:

I get the regulars of course, guess it's the price of supporting a successful club, we're in the spotlight.
 
So Gerard just said on 360 that the Bulldogs bought 8,000 tickets and sold them on to club members - how did they get around the 4 per barcode 10 per transaction rules?

Hang on, is this included in to 8600 they said had bought tickets from their club ? Because that would mean 16 000 dogs fans. Surely that must be BS

Notice a lot of people on their board doubled up on tickets by mistake, buying a guest pass accidently when they didnt need one.

Hopefully the people trolling our board and posting rubbish on the main board. Quite likely I would think.

I almost did that too. Really not obvious. On top of that there wasn't any Cat 4 or 5, and no way to purchase a family ticket that I could see. Fail on all counts.

Ended up not bothering and buying when they went on sale to all punters with no issues.
 
Hey gigantics,

Based in the ACT nowadays, glad to see the team doing well. Consider them my local team (I've gotten around the big big sound from Canberra town) and it was lovely seeing Manuka packed out.

Plus, I'm loving this board already. There's another CCM fan around these parts. It's like spotting a unicorn.

Heh, it was a long and tortured path there via Queensland Roar through NQ Fury and then moved local when it became apparent the A-League wanted to * over the Fury every way they could.
 
Sheeesh
Just reading the Bulldogs board. They are copying posts from our board and ridiculing them. They really do do have a disgraceful low end. I feel for their serious posters, I think I'd have to walk away from BF if I was one of them.

Yeah they really are
I read the rules when I started posting and it's clear club boards are a sanctuary. When I post on opposition boards I do so carefully and respectfully.I expect the same on our board.
It is also clear you cannot link to posts within a club board outside the board. The effect of copying is identical so it must surely be the same rule.
I just dont understand the thought process that would lead anyone to think it's ok.
I actually support their right to whinge and whine, and even disparage our club there.

Hense the meh. Can say what they want on their board.

Almost as funny as the Saints trades board.
 
The Swans board was similar before the QF. The usual unoriginal comments interspersed with the fair and reasonable comments.

Copying and pasting is pretty gutless and a reflection on those individuals. Most of the Doggies people I know have been really good and are excited for the contest and encouraging of GWS chances.

I get it's coloured by personal experience but the main board thred is appalling in my view, and the Swan's was mostly fun. I've given up on it as waste of time. I wont be retreating on our board, as I did for the Port game, but I dont have good feeling about that either.
 
Just looking at the contract thread which reads....

List size restrictions for coming years:

2016 - 42-46 senior list, nine rookies with $520k - $760k TPP extra allowance;
2017 - 40-44 senior list, nine rookies with $400k - $640k TPP extra allowance;
2018 - 38-42 senior list, nine rookies with $200k - $520k TPP extra allowance;
2019 - 38 senior list, nine rookies in line with other AFL clubs.

But Gill just said on AFL 360 that 2017 will be the first time since he's been CEO that all teams will have the same salary cap. All teams will be even.

So I'm wondering - when we're the above allowances stripped?

First I've heard of it.

I find that hard to believe. :)

I think he probably means "on a per player basis", otherwise there'd be a lot more news about us getting down to 38 players this off-season.
 
Two members of my company are on the way to Mexico, to go to a conference.

I just got off the phone to a nice person from the very big company who we are signing a deal with there. Said multinational are, apparently, planning a tequila tasting at their booth.

May God have mercy upon their souls.
