I am disappointed that discourse on this site has been reduced. While football has been in shutdown there has been ample opportunity for greater analysis of the more arcane aspects of the true followers. Those who usually are able to recognise the significance of personal performance and behaviour are now sadly lacking. Perhaps the linkage between this self flagellation and MFC performance can now be examined. Some mathematical genius who I think can only be resident in this thread could perhaps develop the appropriate formula.

Interest in match results (I'm) X interest in team selection (it) divided by the amount of alcohol consumed (ac) less the number of posts made (np). Does  consideration need to be made for number of staff, manservants, etc engaged. There are many variables.

Perhaps it may fall into the abyss of speculative misadventure when the game is actually again played.

It is very simple dpositive  this the haven to escape of our usual poor performance. No games no need for an escape venue. 

It annoys me that airlines are emailing me claiming "we're all in this together", but when my suitcase was 2kg over last year I was all on my own

If the low scoring of last night becomes the norm, the game will be shooting itself in the foot.

Last night was similar to a soccer match.

However, it was the first game after a long break and it was slippery according to the players. On that basis we need to wait a few rounds to see if it was the new norm.

Ahhh thanks OD I may have become more dependent upon this haven due to poor performance on other threads.

Discussion of potential teams, historical references, and the interminable ratings were just getting too much.

Exactly my point dp. I think there are a number of reasons but I am struggling to get enthusiastic about the return of football. Watched the last quarter On Thursday night and zero last night. Today it will a radio game for me.

Mmmmm interesting analysis.

Not sure about the idea of a formula for insanity though.

Just as in …….. "close personal encounters" ( corolla virus euphemism ) spontaneity achieves the optimum results.

Until the crowds are actually allowed back in (even by the 1/4 rule), I would argue for authenticity's sake the fake crowd noise should be replaced by forum-pose notification beeps.

Bennell kicks a goal 'bloit, bloit, bloit, bloit, bloit, bloit'.

Would provide a very easy-to-follow baseline for your formulas, too.  Just need to do a bit of coding to separate 'self-flagellation' as a data point unrelated to BBO, and you've got yourself a tracking algorithm.

Oh dear. I think MFC performance and self flagellation are too inextricably linked. One bocomes an alternative for the other.

One has been in hiatus while the other can continue unabated.

If we could only harness the energy of one to the other the world might be a better place .

Can someone explain to me why [censored] , who apparently have a licence to drive a motor vehicle, cannot park even approximately between parallel white lines but , instead,  have to occupy two spaces?

It really pisses me off !!!!

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
