So just an idea, not particularly novel but thought I'd mention it anyway

I'm watching with a mate in Switzerland and thought what would it look like with a larger crew and i could see reactions from other supporters. 

I am more than a little cautious about possible meltdowns considering how much we love each other generally, but am semi inclined to give it a go.

Any interest?

    There were a lot of reports about the use of Zoom during isolation, especially around conversations being hacked and inappropriate material being displayed by the hackers.

    We would just need to make sure that if anything like this happens, that before we report it we check that it's not @Bitter but optimistic just logging in.

    Would the whole thing not just be people losing their [censored] at OMac?

    The last thing I want to do is sit at home and watch other people watching football. Then again, I’m anti-social and don’t like people, so might just be me.

    Ever see that footage of that time that bloke hijacked the public access channel in Chicago during that episode of Doctor Who (the science fiction show, not the Demonland troll)?  I always assumed a video conferencing call organized by Demonland would be similar to that but Max Headroom and his antics (or something similar to that description) would be displayed on all the Zoom user  screens.

    Zoom, FB, whatsapp, vizeo, not fussed, send a PM if you are keen. So far participants are passionate optimists, whoever wants that particular type of tea.

    Actually had my first Zoom just recently. 
    Wonderful technology.  However I’ll have to work out how to filter out the background “noise” from The Manor’s dungeon

    I beg you to put up a clean virtual background

    I'd give it a go if we covered our faces with our avatars.

    Well, in BBO's case there's no need, I suppose...

    I think this would be a hoot. Watching the reactions of landers’ during a match and at the same time watching them post on the game day thread.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
