Practice match vs Fark Carlton - Thursday 25 Feb 2021 @ 11am - no entry, live stream

Could be related to bandwidth too. How many people can watch a live stream without buffering issues, etc.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but are you saying you’re the loyal change agent supporter because you don’t renew your membership, and I’m the stagnating moron because I do? You didn’t reply when I asked if you voted last year.

That sounds like an extremely convenient way to support a whole host of organisations as long as I complain on an internet forum and give them no money. Guess I’m helping Medecins sans Frontieres because I’m concerned at their war zone policy. I’m proudly fighting cancer by not giving to yellow ribbon day since I don’t approve of the Cancer Council’s new branding. Just imagine being moronic enough to give them cash!

There are many valid reasons not to buy a membership. Don’t abuse those of us who do when the club is taking a covid hit, is unsuccessful and is trying to change anyway.

For all the ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  and moaning about Essendon treating its supporters poorly, specifically in relation to a live stream, it would appear that every other club is doing the same thing.

Hope we win because I won’t bother watching the replay haha

I reckon Carlton will torch us, get incredibly hyped as a top 8 ā€˜lock’ and then wet the bed during the season proper. They’re the new Essendon.

Spot on

could be AFL directive to help boost club memberships.

Due to Essendon kicking it to Carltons spare every time

Or the cuts to club staffing have meant they all need to employ Gil’s 15 year old nephew to figure out how the internets work, and actually stream anything other than Patton dickpics

And put on the plastic big boy pants when we face them in the season proper, so we make them look like a cool $1m.

FAR AR AR ARRRR AR ARARAR RRRRRRRRK carlton. (lower case spelling for extra disrespect).

It could actually be something like this.
Videographers, camera hire, commentator probably?
Comes at a cost.

In a normal year, that sort of cost is a drop in the ocean.

Since last year, that cost is a lot more important.

What do people want to see from this match in terms of a result.

Obviously getting smashed by Carlton would be bad, but I also think a big win would be a bit counterproductive. I hope that we play good football, and also that we get a look at some kids in key positions.

Ideal result is a 15 point win where both sides have used it to experiment enough that no one can draw meaningful conclusions. I don’t want the club feeling like it’s all just going to happen for them. I want them incentivised to keep working hard)

(I was tempted to say the ideal result was a 15 point loss while resting some keys in the second half, but I can’t get on board with a loss to FC.)

Their fans think they’re finals bound and we suck, Would love to beat them like we did in the 2016 pre season game we played at Ikon park, we filled the joint up, was over 20-25k there that day.

A 5 goal win where we look like we have a clear system and Carlton have none.

Early 5 goal lead followed by experimentation with positional change and players getting minutes

Big Sammy Draper to snap Cripps like a twig. And a repeat of the Murphy GIF w Langford taking the role of Hibberd

Clearly nothing to do with @CJohns . It was Zuckerberg.

Carlton fans have been talking about their system for 3 years: Crippa will get the ball, but they need to find some other players to help him out.
