I'm sure they'll be sensitive and remorseful for what's happened and will be compensating their customers generously.

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!

This includes anyone who holds an AFL or club membership by the way, your credit card details on file.

companies that need to use credit cards do it hands off in conjunction with a third party and encryption

no need to store credit cards locally in any readable form

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!

The exponential advancement of microcircuits/microchips basically took computers to unthinkable levels. What is quantum technology going to achieve?🤔

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

Oh yeah? MFC member. Logged in two weeks ago. Could only get a standing room ticket. Bringing hemorrhoid cream.

 

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

That way we’ll be the comment of this week.

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.

A shipload of money for the government selected business in California to build a QC in Queensland

 

1 billion dollars with no equity ahhhh what a gyp

Long shot, but if anyone is looking to offload two tickets, please message me.  It is standing room only now for general members. I left it far too late......

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.

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.

Edited by Lucifers Hero

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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
