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!

    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

    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

    Thank God I won’t be around but what sort of world am I leaving my Grand children.

    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.

    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......

    i was feeling lucky i got level m, not q

    normally i rock up to the g, scan in gate 6, make me way to 2a with a "i know where i'm going vibe", but this is one of the few games were i sit in an assigned seat

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
