Went along last night. A few notes: •    Melksham gave a fantastic tribute to Hibberd. Said Hibberd was a man who would always “find a way”, despite not looking like the quintessential AFL footba

Looks like all the kefuffle this week has messed MFC communications up completely No B&F details coming through and Casey B&F totally ignored, not good enough MFC not by a long shot.!!!

What details to you want?

They have been on the website for weeks. Unless you are expecting a live coverage as per recent seasons. 
Not sure we didn't have to register our details for a zoom coverage.

Ok so in response to Adonski's clever (in jest) take that 12 players might be all that's left at the B&F ....

Some may not get the veiled reference if not a Seinfeld fan or haven't watched this particular episode.

If you are you're already aware of George's character and that he's a habitual cotastrophizer and panic merchant/drama king, this GIF a great example of that.

On one hand some D'landers do call "fire" when there is just some smouldering (nothing to see here) smoke in a basket.  That's one aspect.  I'm also guilty of that on occasions!

There's also some truth in what Adonski jokingly exaggerated in the sense that so many players (end of season this time around) are either looking to exit, have already retired or may be doing so due to potential career ending injuries. Probably also some Clarry no show 'spin off' take in there as well.

A bit of a scramble for the exit (overnight list 'Shrinkage') with a D'land (Costanza style) panicy twist added in for good measure.

It was also a great excuse to just post that GIF, an all time classic Seinfeld moment imv.  George taking no prisoners in pursuit of his own self preservation.

As you can see, my SOH is pretty warped.  And some of it is (sometimes) a reflection of my own flaws that i see when watching certain sitcom characters & episodes.

Thanks a lot for your trouble much appreciated. Even mentioning the characters didn't mean much at all.

If I watched more than ONE episode of Seinfeld for 5 minutes that's about how much I have watched and of about a dozen American " comedies" in my 75 years. Others for eg. are Fraser Don't Tell Your Mother, another  with an actor who was named Earle etc.

A friend made me watch the LAST episode of Seinfeld about 25/30 years ago and it was a waste of time really.

Even though I have had Foxtel for 15 years I have never watched repeats of the American comedies. 

I did watch "The Nanny" and liked that 

I was into British comedies ie Fawlty Towers, Are You Being Served and Yes Minister with IMO far superior if vastly different comedy lines and topics. Much the same with Crime Shows also.  

I thought there must have been a joke I didn't get or I would have taken umbrage with him.

Thanks again and Go Dees.

Thanks 58er I was hoping for something similar to last couple of years where we could click and watch. Disappointing end to the year.!!

I think DeeZone is mainly referring to the fact that nothing was said about the Casey B&F prior to it happening last night.

Yep. You’ll be on the list if you’ve paid the money for your seat.

Make sure you post updates BEFORE you get hammered. Oh wait, that’s advice to myself, not you. 😂

 

Not going tonight, Kat. Gonna watch the livestream from a pub in Richmond while celebrating another Dees diehard’s birthday with a roomful of Dees Diehards.

Enjoy the night!!!

Not that I have a problem or nuthin, but can you bet on the BnF?

Not that I know of but they do have a 'raffle' tonight where you tip the top 10 in order.
All winning entries (there's usually quite a few), go in the draw for about 6 prizes.
$10 an entry from memory, so if you know anyone going tonight give them a call with your list and sling them a tenner at some stage.

Agree his odds would be good to take.

Because this is voted by the Coaches JV will get his due volume as a team man and following coaches instructions.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
