And another thing...

I buy my membership every year without fail but the price of going to the footy with three kids and all the other crap that is involved in simply going to watch your team has resulted in me attending less and less as the years roll on.

I'm actually finding myself more inclined to go and watch my local team South Croydon in 1st division of the Eastern footy league. I can have a few cans, the kids have a kick on the ground and the footy is of a surprisingly great standard to watch. Oh for the simple things in life. Sounding old now but that's the way it is.


Sorry Damo but this is not a Collingwood comment and as such should be moved down the list to some place where nobody will ever see it. Just trying to be proactive. Very Happy Very Happy

There’s a really simple tool available to reduce congestion. It’s called common sense umpiring. Almost every time a pack forms there’s an unpaid free kick in their somewhere – usually in the back, sometimes high contact. Within the existing rules if they were paid it would reduce congestion. The idea of zones is just bullshit.

I have advocated for years that they should simply do away with the center square and just run the lines down the wing all the way to the forward fifty arcs - and then at center bounces there must be six players from each team inside those arcs (ie. six forwards and six backs in each 50 arc). This will at least stop the flooding of the backline at center breaks and give some relief to the congestion.
