Crichton Medal
Is on tomorrow night. Is anyone here going?
It is a great night. I went last year and had a ball. Would have gone again but they moved the dates on me.

the Filth's B & F costs roughly the same as ours and they have their's on a Friday night every year
a) Collingwood has a 'cast of thousands' type night, and so can charge less per head, or
b) PBL owns Crown, PBL owns Channel 9, Eddie = Channel 9 and Collingwood, ergo they get 'mates rates' for the hire of the Palladium Room.

The palladium can ONLY hold 1000 or so......jimmyc1985 wrote:Wouldn't surprise me ifdodgey wrote:CRAP !!!SuperSonic wrote:Costs too much apparently. Tickets would probably cost twice as much on a friday and satuday. Plus finals footeh is on.

Maybe the Filth DO get "mates rates" but there ARE plenty of other Venues around town....It doesn't HAVE to be Crown every year on a f****** Wednesday night.

I agree. It just reflects the fact that, as other people who have followed Essendon for longer than i have know, Essendon are as tight with money as a Scottish fish's arse. Always have been, according to the older guys, and probably always will be.dodgey wrote:The palladium can ONLY hold 1000 or so......jimmyc1985 wrote:Wouldn't surprise me ifdodgey wrote:CRAP !!!SuperSonic wrote:Costs too much apparently.

Wish I could get there. Last event I managed to get my sorry behind to was the Champions of Essendon function. Damn was I glad I got to that one with King Richard passing away days later.
Who's the hot tip? Watson? Lucas? Stanton?
Is the BT B&F a guide we can go on?
