    I'd go the beef over the chicken every day of the week! :)

    i don't know what you call this kind of singing?... warbiling? its like people that sing like this really really wanna show you their chops. unnecessary and makes me nauseous. still can't believe MFC didn't book fugazi to play. 

    actually, the guy isn't bad. should just play best of fleetwood mac set. i'm not even joking. its a guilty pleasure..

    Hopefully the announcement is re Jolimont, but I'd be surprised if it was.

    Wouldn't something as big as that be something a bit more in the public domain?

    Council approval, planning permits, funding, local objectors to the project... etc?

    Good point. Glad you noticed I'm not a war mongering mass murderer, alcoholic racist psychopath.

    Speed problem I think.  I am running at about 2.5 mbps and no issue

    What does it say for you if you click here?

    Thanks for response. As a result, something in me rigged and I've switched off the WiFi and watching on mobile via 4g.

    What a lousy NBN service. 

    I'm happy now though- will be able to watch once the entertainment filler finishes

    Nothing guilty about Fleetwood Mac....

    And yeah. In a gig where you're playing to a room of people who are more or less ignoring you, you do what a jazz musician might do playing in a hotel. You just masturbate vocally... They're not helped by the fact they're really not interested in the fact this is streaming. If they were they wouldn't be playing like that I reckon.

    Glad you got it sorted.  Careful of that mobile data usage though, if you have limited allowance  ?

    I do this [censored] for a living, and I swear that's the first time I've heard that. Awesome...

    The singers are shite.

    I disagree, Chook. They're not Fischer-Dieskau but that's okay by me.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
