You mean you don’t like the videos of players trying to roll a coin into a fork or stick a clothes peg on a singlet without getting caught? 🙄

Not even a mind as brilliant as yours would have been able to conjure up those two gems Rab!

    Yes I meant off, not up.

    I must have been thinking of the man shake.

    Or maybe you just have better taste and were recalling a much better era of music Red.

    We must excuse all swifties, for they know not what they're doing!

    At least it wasn't Bailey Fridge - son of Ted Fridge and nephew of John Fridge.

    On both Saturday and Sunday I found myself on a train packed with Swifties. Sunday in particular was intense. I was given a schooling on all things Tay and ended up with three *friendship bracelets. Not a Tay fan, but couldn’t expect to meet so many delightful girls in one (confined) space ever again. 

    For the uninitiated, the idea is to make friendship bracelets that are Tay-related using coloured beads and beads with letters for song titles etc. The bracelets are then swapped for other bracelets. Of course I didn’t have any bracelets so I swapped a Clarrie key ring (Tay’s fave number is 13), two ribbons (one red and one blue) and a chupa chup. 😁

    Beside the point I know, but Fritta couldn’t care less about his name being misspelled. His mum, on the other hand… it’s her pet hate. Beware the wrath of Mrs Fritta, comms dept!  😅

    Apparently she started the friendship bracelet thingy many moons ago when only 900 or so ppl attended her concert/s here.  Had a tiny bit of success since it seems!

    I propose changing you're nic to WCS (S = Swifty)... or just Swifty!

    Granted this is terrible, as is the misspelling of Bayley and the many other errors, but I don’t believe it warrants the level of scathing criticism it’s copping on here… and I’m a professional proofreader. I’ve been proofreading for over 20 years and believe me, my standard is very high. But you pick your battles.

    While I agree our communications game needs lifting, I’d sooner all efforts are directed at winning a premiership, even at the expense of other aspects of the Club.

    Someone on here compared us to West Coast in terms of comms. West Coast… the hot mess languishing at the bottom of the ladder apparently have a shmick livestream of open training sessions. Impressive, right?

    I thought that Andrew Dillon endorsed our senior management and Leadership group quite strongly this afternoon. We have been let down but I would suggest it’s not by any of the club’s leaders.

    I, my family and a lot of friends went absolutely bananas after our big win in ‘21 and I couldn’t speak more highly of the way we were able to order and receive our merchandise from MFC, our mob really stepped up and that was despite Covid, so I guess all clubs step up when the big bucks are concerned.😁

    I too had no issues with dealing with the club when it came to the bounty of merchandise that I ordered. There was some items that were on back order or not available and they were very accommodating and helpful in a period that would have been very busy as a result of the flag and difficult as a result of COVID related issues.

    That was likely due to COVID related supply chain issues.

    Good interview with Max at Captains day at Marvel and a nice Gallery of all the new players with their families at the formal jumper presentations at Coterie function on the MFC website today. Max is looking very business like.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
