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Discussion of potential teams, historical references, and the interminable ratings were just getting too much.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

It really pisses me off !!!!

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
