As an occasional contributor I too have missed the usual appearance of the thread. I doubt the plea to interpose some actual football dialogue would do anything but reduce the overall streams of consciousness that regularly inhabit the site. I read recently that Nick Cave had identified the beach as, the sand representing the conscious mind and the water representing the subconscious.

Didnt have a clue what that meant but have grappled with the need to redefine the diving board in the pool.

And what of the significance of the banana as an economic unit to rival the bitcoin? When does the abstract replace the obtuse?

The potential of the Chaos theory to overwhelm the simplest of observations reduces football matters to just another variable in the complexity of life.

Well must be drawing closer to the inanities of the game but never let this thread be halted.

    I won’t bore you with the details but I managed to reacquaint myself with some Christian values and received some guidance from a fairly senior “ Rock Chucker”.

    Will bless you with the details once computer and carriage service device privileges are restored fully.

    That's what I am talking about !

    This should keep the thread going into eternity.

    Red will be pleased, others thoughtful and good old  Uncle simply bewildered.

    it may also bring Biffin back to reality.

    Obviously a man of great intelligence.

    I have no idea why you are a MFC supporter!

    Perhaps because he is a philosophical nihilist who still retains loyalty to lost causes. 

    Or maybe he is a skeptic that thinks that 2018 was an aberration and a new beginning.

    Unlike your conclusion OD, i think that an essential requirement of being a MFC supporter is intelligence.  You need intelligence and humility to rationalize and process all the vicissitudes that come with our eternal loyalty.

    Sadly. I Will have to disagree Ernest the chief requirement of being a MFC devotee would have to be a lack of sanity.

    No sane person would continue supporting the MFC through the last 55 years.

    Only people who suffer from grand delusions would continue.

    I have heard the term reality shock, that would be the status if Biffen is even close, and Uncle and bewilderment are joyous company.

    As to others being thoughtful, that option is usually missing on the new instant social media channels, if this thread is an outpost it occasionally also moves into the error of instant response being more relevant than any considered process.

    It would be admirable to have red pleased but I believe he already inhabits a higher state..

    But thanks for your comments which I have always s enjoyed usually only as an observer.

    Currently outside the emergency created in NSW but wary of the climate of fear that is taking precedence over any positive action to maintain personal tranquility. My recognised title is an indicator of where my preference lies.

    Off to squash where my team has carried me to the final series. I must defeat yet another young challenger, rabid hawks supporter who needs to be reminded of the dignity of losing.

    I was going to finish with the dignity of losing graciously but then realised if I was to lose thar phrase could never be considered.

    However he did not prevail and I was able to savour the reward of victory magnanimously and yet humbled as my team lost. We now head to the elimination while his team is propelled straight to the Grand final.

    I must increase intake of bananas as I contemplate eliminating another upstart on Thursday and repeating victory on Friday in the GF.

    We all have our minor diversions from the harshness of following MFC.

    Off to Singapore to test the Asian banana market and sound out any international recruits. 

    Will rely on DL to get me through draft night.

    Keep well guys and keep the thread pumping with footy and social news, to inform the fighting masses on the other threads.

    Was there early August Mr. Leg, I like Singapore especially the Chillie Crab. You could easily live in Singapore and not know the MFC exists.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
