A couple of questions.
Firstly, how many guests can a member take? Any idea?
And secondly, when did membership cards get sent? I don't believe I have received mine, which isn't great with tickets on sale tomorrow morning...
Get ready for a shitshow!

AFL draft worry as rehearsal abandoned in shambles
The AFL is scrambling to fix problems that on Wednesday night forced a rehearsal of the national draft to be...
Following on from the controversial last episode of this season, the trailer seems to hint exploration of topical themes such as dealing with a potentially corrupt President. Looking forward to this I have to say, especially after seeing Big Murray on Curb Your Enthusiasm recently!!

Essendon will consider former AFL football operations boss Simon Lethlean for their vacant football operations position.
Lethlean was recently overlooked for the...
In the modern era the 100 goal a season milestone is lamented as a relic of the past, thanks to modern day structures and full ground press tactics. Some wonder whether we will ever see another 100 goal season again, whereas some believe it's cyclical, and that at some golden point in the...
and I for one agree 100% with him, on this issue at least.
AFL should embrace independent disciplinary tribunal: ASADA chief Ben McDevitt
While welcoming a recent AFL internal report recommending future joint investigations with ASADA, outgoing chief executive of the sports anti-doping body...

==============================
He is looking like he has a point to prove this year
poor prick, could wreck the season for him. There was a rumour on the EFC board one of our guys has it to, but he seems to be playing intra-club matches etc.
Hopefully it's a mild case for the kid...

Essendon will look to rewrite their privileged-tenant contract with Etihad Stadium with a view to playing more home games at the MCG.
The Bombers, the only AFL club to hold their own deal with the...
it's such an ignominious circumstance to go through. Given the Hawks demographics, could this be a particularly bad way to go out? The edge of the cliff is right there, and maybe O'Meara and Mitchell are going to do a latter day Buckley.
The straight sets scenario is looking very nasty for...
Preface: what Hawthorn have achieved is magnificent. Clarkson is, in my opinion a genius coach; and the club have been very canny with their list management.
However. The most recent period of AFL history is completely and utterly unprecedented and unique.
During this time the AFL...
How about that exodus?
5 year extension. Go you good thing!

We're favourites FFS, for the first time this year!
Sportsbet already going with Essendon $1.57 to Brisbane $2.42.
Maybe all the outrage about pick 1 was just a storm in a teacup after all...
In before Brisbane win next week
according to Danny Weidler anyway.

There's no proof of course. But it makes you think doesn't it? Oh well, at least in the AFL we didn't have any unstoppable teams in 2011 who had...
Remarkable really. And a wonderful sign for the EFC faithful, it's a massive signal to the rest of the group. Always an intensely loyal guy, Hooker has just outdone himself

well, I'm there. Good seats too, bottom level, row V, Olympic stand pocket.
Despite the very real prospect of a flogging I'm going to do what I do every year. Lunch at the Riser from 12:01pm, quick pub crawl to the Royal for some true Melbourne culture, then into the game.
Who else is...

You'd have to think it's a heck of a long shot, but that decision needs examination so let's hope it gets up.
Some strong points made

I'm a red man myself, a passionate red man. Good red wine is the best thing in the world.
Which made my little moment of win yesterday all the sweeter. In the office early and a courier rocks in, and asks me if I know a guy called Peter. I think he's the guy in the office around the corner...
Err, things don't sound too great for WADA. Engaged in a nasty spat with CAS that has seen them take it public in a sensational fashion. Doesn't sound like their working relationship is great, and the secretary general of CAS doesn't sound like he's too impressed with their chances.
Following...
when are the AFL going to do something about runners who rarely leave the field, deliberately block space, coach onfield, and generally make a goddamn nuisance of themselves?
Watching the Melbourne GWS game and it's a joke. They are just standing there constantly, only 10s of metres from the...
just interested. Now that ASADA have had the EFC thing out of the way for some months I would imagine they have moved to prosecute the NRL players who didn't accept their deal? Anyone heard any news?
Obviously asking because of the trade that didn't occur a few years ago. I'm very happy with how it went but I'm interested in the thoughts of the broader community who they would prefer
it's hard to see how they won't take home another piece of woodwork. If they can't beat Brisbane at home, who can possibly finish below them? Equal bottom now and it's hard to see how they turn it around.
Makes you wonder how long Mick is going to survive. Could be as early as Monday...
