  1.  

    As a club we need to differentiate ourselves from the others. Tribes are often born by locality, so because of this Epping would make sense given its proximity to La Trobe and the youth team already plays there. I'd like to see a push of Melbourne Heart's association with an area or region more....so maybe a marketing push to say that Melbourne Heart is the club for Melbourne's north or Melbourne's north and west.

    Another suggestion is to play a game in Geelong, Kardina Park is a good stadium with excellent facilities and transportation connections...it is a bit of a trip for some people though, but it is only 1 or 2 games a season.

     

    We have been though this so many times before...even assuming that other venues meet FFA requirements (which they don't) if we draw a crowd of 6,000 to AAMI Park, which is a central location well-served by public transport, do you seriously expect us to do better on the northern boundary of the metropolitan area at a stadium where there is next to no public transport at all?

     

    Likewise, do you seriously expect us to do better in Geelong with a population of 500,000 as opposed to Melbourne with a population close to 4m?

     

    Interesting point.  

     

    I think though that if you are going to play one regional game a season, playing it in the biggest regional city in the state would make a lot of sense (as opposed to morwell) 

     

    There are plenty of heart supporters in geelong, who rarely make the trip to Aami park,  but would definitely attend in geelong (plus a lot of neutrals). 

     

    Then they're barely Heart supporters. 

     

    I know people who do regularly travel from Geelong to watch matches - it's not far!

     

    If they're unwilling to do it now, we're not going to gain much in the future by having the occasional game there, I can't see them then coming to the missus.

  2. I'm not sure if people understand how football works, as I stopped reading midway thru this thread.

     

    The penalty decision was wrong. BUT, when he gives the decision, he HAS to send him off. That is how the sport works. That is never going to be changed by the MRP/FFA/Gillard/etc.. 1 week is the minimum ban and that is that.

     

    As for JA, we don't know enough about it to make informed comments.

  3. I think Margery is smoking, dont get me wrong - probably the best on the show, but am I the only one who thinks her face tends to look a little weird?

    Did rewatch s02e10 before this and glad I did - even having watched it about a month ago it was still good to get fresh knowledge of it

    Also, does the author have a thing for redheads or what? Seems 90% of females are rangas
