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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
