I hadn't realised Joe Hockey joined bigfooty and that poor people couldn't possibly barrack for Essendon.just the $25, 1 game member. What a joke that is.

It’s got absolutely nothing to do with that. You are taking what I said totally out of context. But that’s how you lefty’s argue, right!? I’m no financial tyrant, i make many sacrifices so I can afford to pay for a membership as I mentioned in my original post. I’ve got no issue with anyone supporting Essendon, in fact the more the merrier. I just don’t think if you attend 1 game and pay $25 you should be classified as a member when other people make real sacrifices in their life to contribute a significant amount of money out of the family budget towards the club. There’s plenty of people who get a country membership or 3 gamers but there is actually a contribution to the club attached with that not just paying for a ticket to a game. But hey everyone who attends bombers games is now a member. Even the oppo fans, they’re all the same if they attend an Essendon home game. Geez we are going to have around 600k members next year...I hadn't realised Joe Hockey joined bigfooty and that poor people couldn't possibly barrack for Essendon.
Yes, it seems you don't think. That $25 could be a real sacrifice - it could be a multiples for family of four or five, attached to train tickets, attached to a hotel booking, rounding out to be hundreds of dollars for a family seeking a little glimmer of hope in their lives, while otherwise struggling to make ends meet. Go youI just don’t think if you attend 1 game and pay $25 you should be classified as a member when other people make real sacrifices in their life
TF'n'CUnsure if this is the place for it; but is anyone a bit concerned about the proposed changes to the constitution that members can currently vote on? In particular where it now appears that there is more leeway to get rid of elected directors and basically have a board made of hand picked "appointed" individuals without any "members" say.
Does anyone know why they are pushing for this change, and have I just mis-read the intent/ got my tinfoil hat on too tight?
Just seems a little fishy to me....
48,920 as per the EFC site.
46,800 members same time last year.
52,167 this time last year.We're up to 54,482.
Hopefully can get to 55k by Xmas.
