Oh come on, there's plenty of cover at the monstrosity that is the Holden Centre.

Well if you're one of the very small minority of members who hold a social club card that is.

This game should have been put down as Vic Park/MCG really, it's a woeful place to watch a proper game of footy at really.

It's a s**t of a Place to Watch Footy. I am not Paying More Money to use the Social Club. Better Stream the Game as IF it Rains no one be Watching it Live

It's not worth paying for social club membership solely to get a covered position at watch footy at Olympic Park. While I don't hold a social club membership I was fortunate enough to stand within the glassed enclosure to watch one of our women's matches. The 6 inch window frames/roof supports means that the majority of that area has restricted views.

How did you get in without a Social Membership?

How did you get in without a Social Membership?

Member's guest? Bribery? Groucho Marx glasses?

The women's sponsorship had a pre-game coaches address, after the address we were given access to the glassed area to watch the game.

I think I prefer it out on the grass anyway than in the glassed enclosure. Those outside have the cafe to eat and drink. Those inside the glass have the bar at the social club. Really not much difference. Victoria Park better still with the old stands to sit under and the atmosphere maybe a bit better, but I don't like the food stalls to eat from.

I rather the Food Stalls at Vic Park as they are way Cheaper then the Cafe at EddieLand

Hasn't been announced what they're doing on that front yet. If pattern holds, they'll casually slip it in at the end of this week's From Lulie Street.

But yes, #bringbackthevflreplay and #bringbackthevfllivestream...

 

[whiskeytown]

Tough game to win. Box Hill playing well.

Hopefully this is the last year of the Holden Centre - MCG double headers.

Can't seriously host VFL and AFLW games at a venue that has no seats for the elderly and less abled, bugger all catering and toilets... and not one area of shelter for when it absolutely buckets down.

[Schraderbrau]

what's wrong with mcclarty?

 

[Kirby]

Looks a good team on paper.

I hope that they are giving McLarty a rest?

 

[MagpieBat]

what's wrong with mcclarty?

Management?

Odd if so, considering there's a bye next week, which would give him a break anyway...

...unless... unless he's a chance for the seniors next week...?
