MCC Reserve is the same, Collars must be worn.

I recall a conversation one morning in a hotel room in Melbourne, prior to going to sit in the MCC Reserve and after a night of very heavy drinking; it went along the lines of
Stella's/Stella's brother's friend: "You can't wear that, you need to have a collar on your shirt."
Stella: "I didn't bring any shirts with a collar."
Stella's brother: "You can borrow one of my polo shirts."
Stella: "I'm not going to wear a @@@@ing polo shirt."
Stella's brother: "What about this then?" (Holds up a chambray shirt)
Stella: "Look, just @@@@ off."

Does the MCC know the arguments it causes?

As a long-term SCG Member, I whole heartedly agree with the rule. It prevents me being surrounded by slobbish, boorish, drunken, pot-smoking, obnoxious, offensive yobbos.

I fill that role quite admirably as it is.

Funny, as long as you wear a collar, you can still get in as a slobbish, boorish, drunken, pot-smoking, obnoxious, offensive yobbos. As long as you pay your dues.

So Des is 'hot'?

That explains a lot.......

Yes, funny. It's amazing how many of the nice 'respectable' types in the Members tut-tutting the behaviour of others you run into at certain clubs in Kings Cross after the game

I was thinking about some of the neanderthals you see in the actual reserve.

Sounds like a Freo Shockers game.

I have a seasons ticket, a bit tattered, when Alan Bond was club sponsor. He sponsored us with some else's money.

At the brainstorming session did anyone suggest that we trade Ben Mathews. At a brainstorming session, if they do it correctly, they should initially accept any suggestions.

Maybe I should buy another seasons ticket under an alias, come to the next session and throw them a few curly ones. Care to join me ROK and NMW.

Sure, I'd be happy to ask tough questions. However, I think this focus group was actually run by the AFL not the Swans.

My tough questioning at the aftermatch was greeted by an intake of breath by just about everyone there so I suggest you don't hold your breath waiting for the answer. (I got my answer in the press 48 hours afterwards.)

I was highly impressed you asked that question!
