[MarksGirl-kbcrowgirl]

Did anyone else buy it?

Sounds like fun and all proceeds go to the McGuiness McDermott Foundation.

Yeah I will be buying it

Hadn't heard about this. Link?

That's very interesting!!!! In early 1999 I did a "mock up" Crows version of monopoly and sent the idea to the AFC merchandise department. I was sent back a letter saying (more or less) they didn't think it would sell enough. At the time they were too busy making commerative tea spoons and other "fine" merchandise. Glad to hear they will finally be making one. Oh yeah and I will be buying it.
Speaking of Monopoly and the Mc foundation. When I was back in Adelaide I noticed they'd made a limited edition of Adelaide Monopoly and a photo of it appeared in the Advertiser. Is that irony or what?

Is that the one that is being advertised on 5AA for $60 from Foodland??????

That's the one

What are the properties??? Crows Players - ie Riccutio (Park Lane), Bassett (WhiteChapel)?

I'd give Bassett one of the Green properties.
Maybe it can be historical and the crappy purple properties can be Angwin and Downsborough or something like that.

 

[spookism]

Just interested as it could be an option for a present for the oldies...

Perhaps Robert Shaw could be one of the purple's???



Also no Power release???

Also no Power release???

Yes, the players all get to spend most of the game in gaol.

Harsh but funny.

Brilliant!
I guess Johncock could be 10 squares back.

Angwin's head would be behind the jail bars.

The The McGuinness McDermott Foundation did release a South Australian specific version of Monopoly which was sold through Foodland stores. I have not heard of a Crows version. Where can I find it?

Johncock misplaced his "Get Out Of Jail Free" card. Apparently he has reported it stolen


.... maybe he just lent it to one of his cousins

Laurance Angwin could be “go to jail, directory to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200”

But I will be getting it even if it just for a collector’s edition, the SA edition of trivial Pursuit was a bit of fun as well. Chris Mac may say some controversial things that many/some do not agree with but it will go to a good charity and they do some good work for this state and the kids that need help in this state.

Daren Jarman and Tony Modra would have to be Parkland and Mayfair

Mathew Liptak would be the eclectic company he is a bright spark

 

[PrideOf]

Matthew Smith would have to be the Double Chance wouldn't he? Or would you need to rename it Triple Chance or Quadruple Chance?

 

[Crowz Gal]

Im guessing you wouldnt be getting much out of the "community chest"???
Home prelims, equal draw, AFL handouts....I suppose the Bulldogs and Roos versions would be a lot more charitable in that respect???

Oh, and when and where do we buy it????

Edit*:Sorry it didnt work

If you guys haven't bought your south aussie trivial pursuit or monopoly,as an employee of the Women's and Children's Hospital I am asking you to please buy them we still do not have enough money to pay for the new state of the art Endo Unit that was opened yesterday.

Enough of the charity push - love the suggestions for the crows monopoly!

Ps DT - Kruger actually isn't as bad in his photo as he is in real life! Had to do the double take, although there is some very impressive hair product in order to make that hair of his stand up like it does!

 

[Crowked]

My first move would be to get a Hotel on the Ricciuto property, could call it the Ramsgate perhaps?
