There MUST be a video record, surely!

 

 

 

Oh, you correctly nominated the winning catch by someone else.

Not nearly so intriguing...

Geez Tim, sorry to disappoint. 🙃 Anyways, what an astounding feat that would’ve been, to have taken a prize-winning catch when I’ve never played cricket.  🤔

Phew. Gotta come up for air. I’m at a very  murky point in this thread. Footy-wise 2011 was depressing, but just when I thought it couldn’t possibly get any darker, the season ends and yeah, it sinks to a new low. In particular, Old Dee is ready to throw the towel in. What’s also sad is posters saying maybe 2012 is our year to win the elusive flag, not knowing it’s still 10 years away. This, sprinkled throughout with next level wtf moments, makes for interesting reading, to say the very least. 
I’ve yet to ‘meet’ Special Robert. I sincerely hope he brings some cheer. 
OK, ima dive back in. If nobody hears from me before the end of the day, please send a search party. 😁

We see you've managed to come up for the air of various other threads, so we assume you to be OK.

But when you're back in this briny on your Special Hunt, could you also keep an eye out for The Origin of the Bananas, please.

Define ‘OK’  
Just because I appear to be alive and well, doesn’t necessarily mean I’m not mentally scarred beyond reparation. 🤪

I’m only up to page 33 and the bananas discussion has only just taken off. But I tell you what, Tim… this thread should be made compulsory reading for students of advanced psychiatry. Seriously.

I was saying exactly that to Dr. Sigmund Freud, only the other day.

Give my regards to 57 and 64 on the way through (in fact the 50s and early 60s generally I hope are rewarding for you!)

And be sure to post your consulting hours when you finish, Doctor.

Sorry about that, Chief. 'Obtuse' is becoming my middle name?

Commodore = @Redleg(refer my earlier (obtuse) posts)

I was proposing he dreamt his encounter with S.Freud.

S.Freud wrote on the interpretation of dreams.

I was proposing that, in wading through this thread, you would have earned a doctorate in the advanced psychology you suggested was needed to do so.

I thus threw it to you to interpret Redleg's dream.

See, that wasn't so hard!😉

Was it?😮

I was actually thinking that’s what it might mean. Except that I wasn’t. 🤥 
As for interpreting @Redleg’s dream, if his dreams are even remotely like his comments in this thread then that’d be a solid No Thanks!

I have been ripping up the floor of my tiled back room since the thread started, looking for the long lost  key to winning the flag. I stopped after the GF and have started retiling the floor. Who needs the “key” anymore?

Edited January 27, 20224 yr by Redleg

Now back to the footy.

What are the predictions for new players to play their first MFC game this year?

I think we can treat Dunstan as a given.

I will start it off with Laurie.

I am pleased to see your studies are continuing WCW. However, to save you some time, I have a suggestion.

Instead of reading the entire 1000 + pages, simply focus on my modest offerings. They are scholarly, socially inclusive and tasteful. I am certain you will be a different person for the experience.

I liked BBOs admission theat his offerings weren "modest".

"and he has much to be modest about" springs to mind.

I simply shall say, in all modesty, " That a great man is always willing to be little".

Quite likely all of them courtesy of Omicron.

Remember it's not the size but the quality.

Didn’t know where to post this, figured here’s as good as anywhere else. 
Are we all watching Ash Barty’s AO final atm? Her opponent, American Danielle Collins, has not only an Australian connection, but an MFC connection. Her coach-turned-boyfriend, Tom Couch (son of Geelong great, Paul Couch) played three games for Melbourne in, I think, 2012. 
Yeah nah, ignore that. Seems there’s confusion as to who her boyfriend is. Some think it’s Tom Couch, some think it’s an American model. Anyways, as you were.

On the OFF topic above.

I know little of womens tennis but I did follow it the last couple of years due to the edifying and uplifting influence of gambling.

Needless to say ,I had a Multi  Motza going in to Danielle to win her match but despite her position as red hot favouriote she lost to a short,powerful Russian and looked overweight during the process. I dubbed her the Collins Class Submarinbe after that effort but now i'm aware she was carrying a severe illness so she shall be forgiven.

As shall that wimpy little Australian swimmer that broke every sprint swimming record in the year leading up to the Olympics before he decided to choke and cost me a small fortune in another multi.

Forgive and forget I always say.Or forgive at the very least.
