Which home games do Collingwood sell?

It’s been happening a lot longer than the Hawks have been travelling to Tasmania.

They sell 5 per year- hence why they play away games

 

[Legz]

The Vic teams sell their home games and then get makeup home games against other Vic clubs so their supporters still get the same amount of games in Melbourne.

Basically selling a home game creates another one.

The rest of us play each other and the Vic teams in random locations in Country Victoria, Tasmania and the NT.

It also has something to do with potential crowd sizes.
Cats vs Pies is usually well attending so a Geelong have their home game at the MCG instead, effectively meaning Pies play an away game on home turf.

I think the same thing happens with other Vic clubs.

 

[Big Crow]

Enter Sandman

How could they not. Worst decision since extending Buckley’s contract.

 

[happy_knackers]

FMD Metallica died with Cliff Burton. Been treading water ever since. Robert Trujillo's legacy has been forever tarnished being I involved with that rabble.

 

[Iron]

These would be perfect for the Pies:

- You Build Me Up (To Bring Me Down) - The Datsuns

- Maximum Heartbreak - The Datsuns

Or Port, for that matter.


EDIT: Bonus for Port:

The Way It Was - The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Port would be the entire St anger album.

Just a perfect fit quality wise.

Same as crows v port home game though isn’t it. Just so happens that there are more teams in Victoria. I’m sure the money still flows as if it’s an away game though.

Buckley coach? Nothing else matters

Eddie a douche, Nothing else matters

Buckley leading them to a flag, The Day that Never Comes.

Eddie: Master of Puppets.

Their continued reign: All Nightmare Long.

Enter Sandman is probably more appropriate for their game plan at the moment.

(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth.

I would love to hear Orion played at Adelaide Oval through the PA.

But I hope Metallica don't play at AO when they come to Adelaide next.

Happy for the club to take their money but I'm still not buying their crap beer.

Given recent beat ups, we should be running out to Where is my mind by The Pixies

I'd prefer Basement Jaxx personally

So we've extended two premier partnerships in a week. Meanwhile Port have no major sponsorship. Haha

 

[Vader]

Yeah, because the good 3rd year players are ineligible (too many games played). And even good 2nd year players.

It's so odd. If those 10 'winners' had been better players they wouldn't have won.

Yeah, nah. The fact is that different players develop at different rates. Tall players regularly take longer than smaller players. That doesn't mean that they're "not as good", they're just not as developed in their first, and possibly second, seasons.

And haven't for the last 6 months.

What I find interesting is the total lack of questioning about it. Since the move to Adelaide Oval and them "overtaking" us as the biggest club in SA in 2014 they have lost all of their major sponsors and there have been a few. Are these companies not seeing any return on their investment?

It's also interesting to compare the corporate partners graphics of both clubs, over the last few years we've inserted a couple of categories at the top for new bigger sponsors, and I'd be certain they'd be in the same range or more as Ports half a major sponsor going on the $ amounts reported for some of them.

I'm confident that although we wouldn't want to replace Toyota, there would be a bidding war between companies trying to align themselves with us if they moved on.

It’s Nothing Else Matters

Seriously? You have the entire Metallica catalogue and pick a ballad as your pregame pump up song??

Would have gone Battery personally

JJ would enter to 'The Unforgiven'
dude316 mashing this song to JJ's video of his GF lowlights would be awesome - I have no idea how to do these things though

Basement Jaxx - Good Luck is a better option for them.

So are all the 2nd and 3rd year players who have won it talls?

Talia was.

No idea, and I never said that talls were the only players to develop more slowly.

DMac is a small that has developed slowly.

Nah, he just stopped developing after his 3rd season (i.e. the Collingwood final in 2009).

The 'slow developers' award shows how weird it is

There's lots of reasons why player A may develop slower than Player B. They might miss their whole first season due to injury. They might be a tall. They might even be a rookie, who couldn't get onto the senior list until an injury occurred (limiting the number of games they played in their 1st year). There are probably other scenarios as well.

Your thinking is overly simplistic. It's a "Rising Star" award, not a "Best First Year Player" award.

So ports sponsor was a renewable energy company, who, by reading between the lines, now labor are out, have pulled out.
