Ffs. ALW grand final day and this happens. Can guarantee this will get more airplay than the match.
1. Hope the ref is ok
2. Hope the lowlife that did it ends up in prison
Victory confirm following departures:
Matt Acton
Lleyton Brooks
Tomi Juric
Kike Lopez
Hahahahaha, i cannot WAIT for the first meeting of our new Fan Engagement Group with management where the useless entitled prat fans only suggestions are to give us cheaper beer and stop starting Hoffman.
If any of these dopes in Row 22 were any level of smart they'd already be employed by the FFA and handsomely compensated for such stupid ideas, but now they want to give them away for free?
Morons.
I love Australian football.

Plague for the Fan Engagement Group!
I was part of this group when it kicked off back in the days of Middleby, along with Furns and GazFish (and others).Quote:

Lawrie and Sam Millar were very supportive, open and action minded.
The group was well spread too - older members, all level members, active, members with families, younger members too.
It will be interesting to see how it all plays out and if it can actually make a change, how the leader reps from each club work together, who they are and whether the APL actually do something with it or if it's just a token gesture.
Ultimately those who go in need to represent the group the have been chosen to (and have active means to engage and seek input). If they go in it just to push their own agenda it will fail
Here is the link to the old thread for interest if anyone https://www.newcastlefootball.net/fo...llowed)-thread

I'm less concerned about that than I am about the fact I can't say that I don't use any of the offered social media channels.Quote:

Something ain't right about the cash grab
Seems pretty common practice now I’m multiple areas.Quote:

The whole thing cries unsustainable.
This is about balancing the books at the end of the financial year. A cash influx of, say, $1.5 million (5000 members with average of $300 membership cost) goes a long way to sandbagging the balance sheet and reducing the losses for potential sale.Quote:

To be honest am glad my seats were still available, always nervy that by the time i renew the place is sold out.
As always ive purchased the 3 seats each side of plague jnr and I so no jets fans sit too close to us.
Will start prepping for me and jeterpools pre-season podcast.
Good day.
I love when you call me "and".Quote:

But they also say they can returf it and have it ready to play in 2 days. Better than Jesus.
Everytime they have had it returfed the consensus is that it is well below standard for some reason ��Quote:

Ruben Zads has let Perth to pursue other opportunities
Fingers crossed we ain't signing him to anchor our midfield
Ugar and Antonis in the midfield for City sounds like they won't be spending much this year. The recycling goes on
Yet they keep making GFsQuote:

Should be targeting some Olyroos that aren’t getting much game time.
Though maybe not playing is better than playing for the Jets.
I just hope this coach can coach and get the most out of a team.
At the moment we need a coach that can say okay, player x’s strength is this, let’s play him in this role. And these players suit this formation so we should play this formation.
Instead, I feel like we get stuck with coaches that want to play their system, which is fine, if you have suitable players. Square pegs, round holes and all that.
This explains how Pappas coached the team - and how the opposition responded.

Hopefully he is at least fleecing them for tonnes of cash.
If he gets injured again, I won't be happy, but I won't feel bad for WU either.
Just another example of our overlords using us as a scouting exercise.
TBF if you were Penha why the **** would you come back here ??Quote:

Definitely not good signs if Perth, Brisbane and Jets all can't find new owners in the 2-3 years they've all been for sale.
And yet Danny wants $25mil for a new license.
Honestly think the decoupling is proving to be a disaster.
What’s Frank up to these days?
