He can buy mine. It's just collecting dust.

She was referring to you buying an Xbox One.

thank you. it sounds like a good plan and a lot cheaper than actually doing anything in reality. ...about the unit gathering dust, does it come with any games where buckley gets the sack and a new coach delivers a premiership in the first year...

People who see the need to end professional work related emails with 'Cheers'! Over it! haha

Maybe someone shouldn't spend so much time in "libraries"

Dear Mr Holden

I am writing to follow up our discussion last Monday.

As you requested I will follow up with the the Club board about how Geoff Hayward is tying up such a large proportion of our player payments.

We will provide you with a formal written response following the board meeting next Thursday.

Cheers

 

[Maggie5]

I can't believe people still go to libraries!

I do, every week! Love it.

Given that you were addressed as "Mr Holden" then the closing should been "Yours Sincerely"

Hi Mr 76,

It is with great regret we have to inform you that your dog has been run over (Hamish, was it you?) & your daughter is dating Toby Mitchell & Jake King at the same time.

Furthermore your wife is currently caressing my tumescent third leg as I type.

Cheers,

OA (head of your local neighborhood watch).

WTF. Seriously, i don't post often due to time constraints/ family commitments and the rest, but what is it with the massive negativity in the football world regarding our beloved pies.

I've had a read on our board and the afl board and see complete and utter crap being written about our pies. Things like we are a middle of the road team, bucks is no good, MM conspiracy theories, we rubbish, we should be better and the list goes on.

Call me a cyclops, but I don't get it. Sure, we aren't, for the next 8-10 weeks going to be considered a genuine threat for the flag, but to hear/read people saying we are at best fighting for a 8-12 position is driving me nuts.

Did Cloke, pendles, swan, Reid, Sidebottom, brown, and Elliot, retire?

Did witts, fasolo, Varcoe, greenwood, Williams, Keefe, broom head, karnezis, Grundy all good banned by asada?

Did our youngsters all decide to do a daisy and go surfing and go look for some fatherly loving afterwards??


Did we swap our lists with st.kilda, WB, WCE, GWS, Brisbane, Carltoon, Essendon, Richmond, Adelaide, Melbourne, Geelong???

We have easily better lists than all those team and is even go as far as suggesting that only the Hawks, port and Sydney have is covered for this season unless we can avoid any significant injuries to our best 25-6...


We will make top 4 and at least a prelim. Can't wait to go around spreading the magpie cheer when we are firmly entrenched in the top 4 by mid season for an assault on the finals this year. And especially to those Carlton loving nuff nuffs who think theyll be anywhere near our new machine like team.

You should post more often on this board, the more positive posts the better.

We are a team on the up and it's proven that we don't miss too many finals series so looking forward to a good year.

I struggle to see all the holes in our list that many seem to. Our spine is one of the better ones in the league, our midfield, even without beams, is still more than capable and our 21-23 year old are coming into their time.

If we didn't cop the injuries we had last year we would have finished in the 8 easily and won a final or 2.

This year, God willing, we seem to have missed out on the injuries. Less injuries means more capapable players playing each week. More capable players means less pressure on our stars to perform the role of atlas and carry the world on their shoulders.

This year, the clokes, Elliots, swans(with only one for toe from an entire anatomy), sidebums Pendleburys of the magpie world won't have to perform Herculean tasks to get us through the season. Guys like Patroclus, fasolo, Adams, varcoe, greenwood, witts, Grundy etch will all be cogs and gears in the Collingwood machine.

My confidence is up because even though we lost a lot of experience this season, we addressed a known deficiency within our team that seems to meet a game plan that Bucks is trying to implement.

Pretty exciting from what I saw in the first NAB Challenge game

 

[Maggie5]

Okay, I need to vent re AFL seat purchases.
Received an email from AFL stating that I could purchase seats for the year today, I thought what a good idea.
Went to Ticketek and Ticketmaster outlets only to be told that these could only be purchased on line.
Now I don't purchase anything on-line as don't like using my credit card and prefer to see seating in person and not only that, resent paying a fee to print my own tickets. (I am buy 5 seats per game).
Tried the internet reluctantly and for some reason, didn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Surely the Adelaide game at Etihad is not sold out already?
Didn't work for MCG games either.
I registered for both and could see my log-in name.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Maggie firstly, I usually get 4 or 5 seats a week in AFL members and it's safe on line.
Secondly when the tickets are sold early as in a couple/few weeks before the game (for any week) they release a limited amount and they sell out.
The same applies for today they release a limited amount for those that are organised and want to book the whole year, (I never am).
Today aside if you strike the problem going forward wait a while and try again as they release tickets later on.
It is really quite frustrating and a few times I've thought I missed out only to be told that the allocation has been exhausted, (you'll see those words on the site) and to wait.
The AFL members at Etihad consists of 300 seats on the lower level so you have to be pretty quick to get them.
For big games at Etihad they allow you to book on level 3 for the same price and again you have to wait for them to be released.
With login and can't do anything, (that happened to me today) I reckon it's 'cos they've sold out of the allocation.

8-12th is the reality of where our list is at, if you refuse to believe that then just wait for the season to play out.

I bet last year you would of said the exact same thing... "I can't believe people who say we aren't an absolute lock for the prelim!!!". Where did we finish in 2014 again?

inb4 omg you're so negative whinge whinge whinge

Thank you so much for reply.
Don't know why the AFL changed the fact that you couldn't buy home games package for MCG with renewal. Was much easier for me.
Oh well, I will be at Ticketek romorrow to buy for Adelaide game and think get my daughter to sit on internet and buy the rest.
Otherwise it will be Ch7 or Foxtel.

3-6th is the reality of where I see this side heading - provided we stay injury free.

Unlike others, I see the reasons 2014 went from top 4 after 11 games to barely scoring by seasons end.

I can also see the the reasons why we are in store for a great 2015-2020.

How about a friendly wager? You win if we finish 7 and below and I win if we finish 6th or better.

Dear Bigpond,

I have a new fangled computer device - perhaps you haven't heard about it yet? It's called a "tablet computer". Mine happens to be made by a small boutique computer company you've probably never heard of ... They're called "Apple". The device is called an "iPad".

Anyway, it seems that your streaming services don't support these type of computers. Probably a bit too modern for you?

Might I make a suggestion?

FFS, DRAG YOURSELVES OUT OF THE DARK AGES YOU TECHONOLGY DINOSAURS

Oh, and while I'm at it, another polite request please ...

The AFL are currently renegotiating the broadcast rights contract - yes, this is the contract that has Bigpond as the website provider for the AFL and Clubs.

STAY AWAY

cheers Yours Sincerely,

If you ever need to reevaluate Collingwood and where we are at simply do what I did.

Support Melbourne City/Heart. If you want to see an organisation with no plan, soul and an amazing ability to plod along reaching new lows then simply join me! Seriously I can't believe how inconsistent this team is. There are even some poor St.Kilda fans who follow City. No team can match City's ability to **** up every chance of improvement!

I have a new found respect for Collingwood and the way we run things.
