I was told that I would be on Level 1 possibly near Aisle 35 for Saturday's match. I'll try to be there in time to see part of the VFL match.

    I shall be wearing my Chicago Cubs World Series Champions cap and matching t-shirt(for the first time) for good luck. I'll also have on my 27 year old scarf with players badges on one side and as a special treat an "Impeach Trump" badge on the other side right above my "I HATE TIGERS" and "I HATE MAGPIES" badges.
    Great choice Chicago1. Fairly close to me (L1 A33). Great atmosphere and great seats. Im planning to go early as well to watch our VFL side. You must now be really excited.

    Last night Gary Kent announced that we had 44,500 members.

    We are a long way into the season so I wonder how many more will sign up?

    Good and average news. Obviously we are up 4,000 new members, but I thought a 20% increase (48,000) was a minimum target after delivering a premiership and opening up Ballarat memberships. You'd have to think 50,000 is just out of reach. And you'd have to think what we have to bloody more to do to turn fans into members?

    There's always a late surge where it seems like the wealthy club benefactors pitch in to pump the numbers up. Happens every year.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I wonder how many clubs have that and falsify the figures. We need real supporters.

    I would say every club that doesn't have to cap numbers due to home stadium capacity (WC, Adelaide, Port, Freo & Geelong).

    Remember the week that our former captain left and Macca got squeezed out. If you had told me then we would've won a flag and have nearly 45K members by now I would've responded with something probably best not to type.

    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

    And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!
