It appears that Collingwoods VFL team is eyeing off MCL Park as their home ground. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN!!!

They chose to move to the Toyota centre which has no footy ground (and they constantly talk about it's facilities!) Lets not help them develop their youth on our sacred turf. For the sake of sanity, logic and pure hatred for the filth please, please don't get sucked in to a deal on this.

Let Brodie Holland & Co. play on some shitty wind swept oval!

Can you imagine watching the filth jumper running around on "our" ground week in week out using "our" facilities with us being banished in RED at PRESTON. :oops: :roll:

I don't care, not worth it - it is our ground and hopefully we will have our own team in the VFL one day.

The Filth running around on our turf because they haven't got a home...

And they are paying us handsomely for the privilege??

I love it... 8) 8)

Look at it another way. Wouldn't you just love the Pies to be part paying for Carltons brand new facilities? So that in the very near future we can overtake them on our way back to the top, both as a football team and a football club and all Pie supporters will know deep down - they helped? :-) :-)

Taking it a step further you can suggest the rental money could go towards Juddy's pay packet :idea:

I think there would be nothing grander :P

You only play 11 home games per season - what are we going to do with it the other 11 weekends.

Can you imagine the crowd - VFL Blockbuster between Carlton -v- Collingwood (twice a year at Princes Park) - I reckon you would might nudge up towards 15,000 people there. :wink:


The residents would love it. :twisted:

Cazz you are starting to win me over with the 'paying for judds contract part' - I would say that the money made from them would just be spent on maintaining the seats & facilities etc so games could be played there - not much gain in that really.

..ok, so the pies vfl affliate helps pay some of our bills, while we in turn enable them to train on a top level ground and thereby help improve their vfl team and senior team up and coming young guns.. ..hmmm..

Cazzesman, didn't you say the facilities for the toilets etc were in a horrific state? Yep, let them use it. Don't clean them, let the filth live in filth. Give any of us that live in the area keys and we leave the Friday floaters that can permeate overnight, oh yeah, and turn off the hot water on match days...

And once the facilities are operational, can we have a really hot door-bitch at the entrance. When they walk up to use the facilities post-match (hopefully Sauna/Spa etc) can she just ask them whether they're on the guest list...and turn them away..."sorry members only" with a really ingenuine attempt at a sincere smile????

Is there a particular brand of Hot Dog that is easily eaten with no teeth??

We could do a spotless services on them and sell these for $30 a dog, even accept Centrlink food stamps for payment. Have their supporters bring the $$ straight from cash converters/Centrlink to our coffers!!

BBBBWWWWAAAAHHHAAAHHHAA!!!!!

I would be happy for the Filth Magoos to pay for playing at MC Hammer stadium (and for part of Judd's salary :-D ) but no way would I want them to use it for training purposes.

Does the term......being flippant.......ring any bells KK. :wink:

Besides it doesn't matter if the money from the Pies is really spent on repainting the goal posts, the point is the Pie supporters won't know where the money is used.

There will always be that liiiiiiiiiinggggggerrrrring doubt in their empty minds and every time a Pie supporter opens their toothless mouth to dis' us about Judd, we can thank them for helping pay for him via the rental money.

Now that HAS to be good for football.........doesn't it Mandy. :wink:

Kinda reminds me of that line in Pulp Fiction, where Jules says "Does Mr Wallace look like a bitch?... Then why you trying to ...?"

I took a pee in there about 3-4 weeks ago. It was a nostalgic moment.

Knowing that filth supporters drinking a can of coke or eating a cuccumber are helping build our facilities and paying for Judd is enough.

Can't let them on our ground..........could we?
