    Exactly what went wrong for you??
    Very simple Membah....we take in our own screw top bottles with filters. They are not deemed sealed. Will buy some sealed bottles from now on.

    According to the Liquor Act 2007: Section C.51

    As part of their liquor licence they must serve water free of charge.

    I'm surprised this has never come up.

    I noticed a water esky type thing (the ones with the tap on the bottom) at the bar on the Eastern concourse. Unsure how cold the water was though as I didn't require it. Plenty of water in beer etc.

    Maybe the Committee can request plumbed, chilled water taps at bars for patrons to use?

    We're raised the bottles being enforced by the stadium at the last meeting. The club said take a bottle that's been emptied to any bar and they must fill it for you. This is the section of the law you've pulled out

    I know there is a sign that states this at the northern bar in the main stand, though for some reason this bar was closed the other day.

    Mullen then tried to cover up for Vujica and got a foot to the ball but it deflected straight up to Barborouses again who skipped through.

    Vujica was out of his depth defending against Barborouses

    Hoole seems to be the outfield BK. Anyone else makes the same errors/mistakes that he does, they are given the benefit of the doubt.

    Case in point, Nabbout's woeful effort on goal in the first half yesterday. Had Hoole done that, everyone would be castigating him.
    To be fair Hoole was equally poor in the first half. Looked lazy, gave up the ball, refused to chase. 2nd half he played like a man possessed. Everything went through him in the 2nd half

    Barborouses has scored less goals than Hoole this season. He's probably the most overpaid player in the competition.
    Vujica did fine against him and the goal was Boogs fault nobody elses.

    if people get crosses in or run into the box from the wide lefthand side its as much Vujica fault as Boogs. I thought Vuijca was generally excellenct but two un excusable lapses on concentration cost us and his first job is to defend

    The kids getting paid peanuts to play and you are criticising him like he's a marquee ffs.
    Let me guess - you want your boy Cowburn to start ?
    Cowburn is no better, and for some reason seems to get praised well beyond what he should here.

    Regardless of if he made a couple errors (not saying either way) he was excellent on the weekend in energy, technically and going forward. For me I'm not sure why he's been out of the starting lineup at all this season, he's looked good every time he's played.

    Clut struggled to make an impact in the first half but would have done a lot of work, Noddy's quality showed when he came on and its great that we have very strong options to come off the bench. With Kokko to come back in as well the coach is sure to have some selection headaches in the attacking half.

    I agree with Dunster, I think Hoole cops way too much stick. Sure its easy to see his shortcomings because when he makes mistakes they are bleedingly obvious, but he still does a lot of good as well. His goal on the weekend was very well taken, I couldn't believe it was actually him. The giving up on the ball is a pretty big eye sore.

    CMs looking good and as a few people have mentioned its great to see us actually being composed with the ball and playing ourselves out of some tight situations with pretty good regularity. The backs are confident to pass it to the CMs under pressure and they are doing well finding right options. While I will say I think sometimes we are a bit sheepish on the ball and too quick to take an easy pass, its better than in the past and you can't always go for a killer pass, that's when you start getting interceptions all the time. Having said this, it shits me to tears hearing the crowd start moaning and groaning as soon as the ball is passed backwards to the CBs or GK. I wish that shit would stop straight up

    Yes, it's become embarrasing going to a Jets game and hearing groans and even booing if players pass the ball backwards. FFS at least we are keeping the ball much better now then earlier in the season. Would dumbarses rather we just boot the ball up the field straight back to the opposition!!!
    Yeah sometimes our players are slow to respond to the situation and the ball does not get played out quick enough, we lose that litle window of opportunity and have to go backwards to start up again.....so ****ing what!!! The main thing is that WE still have the ball and hey....THE OPPOSITION CANNOT SCORE IF WE HAVE THE BALL!

    Yes agree with the comments on Hoole, sure he is frustrating and does make mistakes and has butchered a few goals in the past few weeks but we are slowly but surely starting to see some "end product. Three goals this season to date (12 games) compared to I think it was one goal in his 3 previous full seasons as a player.
    If he can get up to around 8-10 goals this season that would be a reasonable return for a player who plays predominantly as a wide mid.

    RE: the above 2x posts -

    Agree 100%. When the masses booed passing along the backline and to Duncan on Monday afternoon, I exclaimed not-so-quietly "What do you want them to do? Give the ball away".

    I think most people see it as the aimless backwards momentum under GVE 2.0, but as far as I'm concerned, it's smart recycling of possession.

    Also, as mentioned by Jeterpool in a recent Jetstream podcast, it allows our players a chance to regroup and catch their breath

    To be fair in the old days the backpass (a good 90% of the time) resulted in the keeper hoofing it upfield.
    Crowd we're just bracing themselves for more of the same garbage.
    Hopefully if the backpass continues to be a reset and we go at them again and again crowd will be fine.

    I don't get the booing either.

    In the past when we always went back, the booing was probably warranted as it always was negative football.A lot of the times it just resulted in the keeper punting it down the pitch anyway.

    Now its not used all that often and when we do play back its under pressure and to keep the ball, not have the keeper punt it up the pitch. You'd think people would be happy we are being smarter with the ball.

    Ahhh you are blind. Watch it again,

    Barborouses drops the shoulder and turns past Vujica like he is invisible.

    That you even mention Boogs tells me you haven't actually seen the goal because only Vujica and Mullen were involved
