Previous couple of B&F's there has been a live stream.

Hope it'll be the same this year.

Collingwoods B&F was live on Foxtel for comparison.

    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.

    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 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.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
