Why not? As far as I'm concerned it suits the premise that we're talking about in this thread, from the perspective of the wants of Melbourne-based Lions supporters, that's why. As a WCE supporter you're entitled to feel differently, but I couldn't be bothered reading the tedious uptightness of...

I reckon he'll bounce back to his 2011 form, this year. Last year he was hampered through most of the season with various injuries, wasn't he? His story seemed similar to Rockliff, for mine. With averages of 94, 109 and 96, over the last three seasons, you'd be laughing if he improved his...

I reckon the saving on TPP will go into reducing any overall shortfall caused in other areas.

Bourkozoid.

Sounds like some sort of charismatic, cryptofundi thing, if you ask me! :D

P.Cleary? :D

You might as well just go for what is essentially a four-game membership that is on offer under the title "Traditional Victorian Membership"! :D

That might be a fair enough way to put it, but for me, the idea of the family day probably rank alongside similar things such as the Hall of Fame event. They're nice initiatives, but all the while the logo/jumper situation continues, it seems to be a bit of a dichotomy to me.

Mayo

Have crack, will travel?

I don't think I'm missing the point at all. I just don't agree with the level of importance that you place upon a family day at Brunswick St. Oval. I don't think it will be as big a catalyst to improved membership numbers as would an improved draw and a better resolution to the logo/jumper...

Unfortunately I don't think merely having a family day at Brunswick St. Oval alone will be enough to increase membership numbers (although, it wouldn't do any harm and would certainly be warmly welcomed by many Victorian Lions supporters). I would hope that the prospects of the Victorian...

Agreed, however, it's not necessarily the same posters who are suggesting that Melbourne-based supporters "should be grateful" as those who are up in arms about the move in base up in Brisbane.

Do you reckon Acuguy will cut his Lions membership or his Hawthorn membership?

I've been able to get free GA to pre-season games in the past using a current Lions membership card, with the only exception that I can possibly think of being when we made the pre-season GF in 2001 and 2007.

Is that what they promised you at sentencing at the Ol' Bailey? ;)

Because there's a hidden clause in the merger agreement that is adhered to that says the BL Board Members must: * Own a yacht * Have been on a fishing charter on which someone helped them catch a marlin * Wear a white suit at least three times a week * Have more gold crown fillings than fingers...

For me, the Victorian membership is probably what I was expecting. It seems like there has been a drop in price, which is probably to factor in for fewer games. The "guest ticket" is a good idea and I would have preferred to have seen the number of games that this could be used for increased, at...

Looks like they're really trying to shape the new face of the Lions, with the likes of the Redden and Zorko getting in ahead of Merrett and Adcock.

I'll give it a go. Might not get around to posting in the threads much, though.

Adoption?

Further to what I've said earlier about a "sorry" from the AFL merely being lip service that would make them feel that they'd put the entire issue to bed, the recent fixturing of Lions games by the AFL, with only 5 games in Victoria, is an example of why a "sorry" from the AFL would be...

Didn't watch the TV shows (forgot!), but have the books. Will have to get a hold of the TV versions. Peter Temple is a Fitzroy supporter, I believe. A very good writer too (I actually prefer his later works, rather than the Jack Irish stuff - although, I do quite like the Jack Irish stuff as...

Is that really a "solution" though? It seems more like a choice that has been partly enforced due to being completely dissatisfied with the situation. The Lions should insist that it is their foremost fixturing request that we do not play Victorian teams in alternate locations such as...

Looking at the season overall, it seems like a reasonable draw. However, I think the first half of the season is significantly tougher for us than the second, particularly after the first five rounds to the bye. That stretch in particular, looks similar to stretches that have seen us go winless...

Etihad is probably "easier" to get to by train, but there are certainly a lot of Fitzroy/Lions supporters in around Fitzroy and the northern suburbs who could get to Brunswick St. Oval by tram, train or car. Having lived and worked in that part of town for the best part of ten years, and having...

It wouldn't bother me if my offspring supported Collingwood. In fact, they'd probably have to be the most sensible choice. Whilst they're everyone's greatest rival, personally, I never felt that Collingwood as a club, or its supporters, have done anything to "offend" me. Carlton and Essendon on...

A minor thought, but I reckon it would be nice if the club introduced a member's scarf, which included, embroidered on it, the number of years that you have been a member. It could be awarded each year to members who have been signed up for 5 or more consecutive years. Pretty sure that there...

Additionally, I'd have to say at this stage, as much as I enjoy supporting the Lions, which to me, is a continuation of Fitzroy's identity in the AFL and personally enables me to continue to feel a sense of continuity in following the same identify in the AFL, with my father, that we have for...

One thing that is really costing us is the fact that we are playing away games against Victorian clubs in locations such as Tasmania and Darwin. There was also the suggestion of us being one of the clubs in contention to play in NZ for one of St.Kilda's home games (although, we don't have an...
