I can't help but think someone on DL is the parent of this charming young person.

Anyway I would like to nominate them as Mother/Father of the year, they have clearly done an OUTSTANDING job. I am planning on upping my game as a result.

To this child, (free from MFCSS) I wish you future happiness and a life completely different from my childhood in the 70s/80s. (It moves me to think that this child has only been alive while Melbourne has been good...)

    This young man is proof that MFCSS is not in fact carried in the blood or through some evil voodoo curse from beyond the grave.

    It is instead developed as a Pavlovian response to repeated negative stimuli. If it can be contracted, it can be cured - and we must find the cure and ease the suffering of those unfortunates afflicted with it.

    It may seem cruel but I think the answer involves frontal lobe lobotomy; however as this treatment is deemed "unethical" by the general public, I propose winning more flags as an alternative solution; evidence is promising in this area, as a recent study conducted in 2021 concluded that premierships seem to provide short term partial reduction in the severity of the condition.

    Further study required.

    “Actually, Maxy Gawn and Petracca.”

    Eddie is the cutest and his parents should be proud.

    On the subject of kidlets, it seems hubbing with the families in Adelaide worked wonders for our team, as evidenced by the eight points that came home on the plane. 🥳

    I don’t know whose child Leb was holding while singing the song after Thursday’s match, but talk about one big happy family!

    He may well already be a member. My future granddaughter will be a member on the day she’s born. I’d sign her up sooner only her D.O.B. is yet to be known. ❤️💙

    As an ethical alternative, I've always found a bottle in front of me to be better than a frontal lobotomy.

    Check with the club, you used to be able to sign them up before birth.

    My 14-year old daughter turns 15 in a week's time; 16-year member.

    Both my daughters are equally as positive as this fine young child when it comes to the MFC.

    Then again, they are both well aware they will be living on the streets, should either of them choose to stray from the club that was chosen for them.

    Good luck to the young fella. At my age my MFCSS is completely incurable.

    Thought this was going to be a thread about how one finds time to get to the football whilst balancing one's parental obligations.

    You'd have to know the gender and name in advance I guess.
