    Not only have they felt the need to make the plastic $20 (max.) rubbish bin thief-proof, but it’s encased in thick steel, with a dirty big padlock.

    They wouldn't be that high tech in St Albans dc.

    au contraire uncle, standard equipment in st albans. very useful.

    anyway i don't see the problem if the bin is only worth $20. council would pay >$20 every time to get it emptied. Of course this assumes the thief takes the rubbish with him and given it's st albans they probably would

    I think the thief would prefer to take the rubbish truck, rather than one bin with rubbish.

    No self employed, so it’s leave and door slams behind me.

    So your boss is too slack to sack you and you can't be bothered quitting.  That was my excuse. Bite the bullet Red you won't regret it.

    So the would-be thief would have to pop into Cashies (Cash Converters) to buy a cordless angle grinder that he probs stole the previous day and sold to Cashies. Doesn’t make sense, Daise.

    Blues lose and it’s a great start to the new footy weekend.

    They create a new record too, the first and also, only team atm, to have lost every gather round match they have played.

    Thanks for the heads up Uncle Bitters.

    So quite simply the place has run amuck?

    Where was that firm hand , where was the 'discipline' 

    The sanity of a long suffering Melbourne supporter has always been long understood ;) You cant be long suited in all things ......

    Perfect response as it wouldn't be stolen if it wasn't locked up.

    I'm sure they will take the bin with them when they take the grinder back to $ converters.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
