    Me too. Totally confused by that interweb thingy.

    PS I graduated in 1975 with a degree in Computer Science.

    We were using punchcards to be fed into a mainframe the size of a bus back then!

    Hundreds, possibly thousands of hours transferring code in Fortran, Algol and COBOL onto cards never to use one iota of what I learnt - ended up teaching maths!

    more AI of course

    and AI will be like social media - lots of good things ... but lots of bad things too

    eventually you won't be able to tell if text, a voice, a picture or a video is real or generated.

    nothing will be unequivocally real, the truth will become an archaic concept that historians and philosophers will ponder over

    Ticketmaster supposedly hacked and now Ticketek.

    The available evidence at this time indicates that, from a privacy perspective, your name, date of birth and email address may have been impacted,” the company said in emails to people who had bought tickets through the company

    Might be easier to just email the hackers next time and see if they can get you a ticket

    I have given up going to this game when it is a pies home game. Any seat I am likely to get is in the oxygen mask section. TV for me sadly but thats life somethings you have to accept gracefully.

    Like you, my old man and I walk into 2A for any games against saints/dogs/north/Hawks/Cats or interstate teams and sit in the unused Medallion Club seats.

    I reserve against the bigger sides and know a few tricks that get me in early for the on sale.

    I reserve against the bigger sides and know that they hold back P21 and P23 until the week of the game for all Melbourne, Collingwood, Carlton, Hawthorn and Essendon home games. 
     

    yesterday they went on sale for both Sunday night and Monday.

    i had no idea about that

    how absurd

    @FearTheBeard what sort of crowd are they expecting?

    Is it a genuine 95,000 sell out?

    Or a Clayton's sell out of 78,000?

    A genuine sellout, but that is 85-88 these days. Almost impossible to get to 90,000 for any game other than Anzac Day during the home and away season.

    I now can't attend Monday's game so would like to offer the ticket to a D'lander.  It is in a demon bay M4 Row K.  Demon Army is right next door in bay M3.

    I think it cost $65.  I do not want payment but would appreciate a donation to a charity which I will suggest when I forward the ticket.

    PM me if interested.

    Surprised so many are turning up considering our poor form recently and Collingwood injury issues.

    Hope its not a fizzer.

    Must win this. Attack at all costs and tackle relentlessly all day. Thats how we won a flag.

    Do this and we win.

    Not complicated.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
