Im pretty sure you can register to be a member for the crows without paying a fee and only have to pay the fee if you want to attend games
kind of like a crap subscription to get marketing crap

It won't be included when the AFL do the audit. Must be a min $50 spend and the club must send out a membership pack.

its called covid 19. doesnt matter what you want to call it because youre a racist. i dont hear you calling mad cow disease the english cow disease, or the spanish flu the USA flu.
Racist is a bit strong. A lot of diseases are initially referred to by the geographic location of the initial outbreak. For a while it was on the news as Wuhan Pneumonia. MERS, Hong Kong flu etc could all be said to attach a certain stigma to their points of origin yet they're not deemed racist terms.

this one wasnt though, it began as covid. the naming of it as wuhan flu, kung flu etc, was all driven by trump to use anti-chinese rhetoric (ie racism) to deflect from their own handling of it. The same as the spanish flu, which started in america but the american press named is the spanish flu to deflect from themselves, and the spanish hate it being called that.

what makes wuhan flu racist is that (a) it already has a well known common name given to it previously, (b) we haven't similarly given other regional diseases a local name after the fact, and singling out particular races for different treatment is the very definition of racism, and (c, and the most important point) the origin and use of it has always been derogatory.

think of it like the term abo. on its own, abo is simply a shortening of aboriginal and so the logic is "well its not racist, its just a shortening of a longer word". but its the fact that it began and was used as a derogatory term which makes it racist.

Bunch of soft corks - sign up to feel part of the club - not to cash in on game entry...

Yeah I don't get it either. Even if there was no Wuhan Virus my family almost never go to football matches live but we all still have memberships. Our daughter is autistic and wouldn't be able to handle the crowd noise . Assuming you aren't in financial distress I don't know how you can truly own the success of the last four years and not have a membership.
