Easily the worst thing about sitting in the MCC is the lack of feel for the modern game by so many. "Just kick it" is a regular refrain, as is "terrible kick, number ten". "His name is Turner, you nuffy" is my response.

How to tell someone you're not a member of the MCC without actually saying that you're not a member of the MCC.

Am I right?

"Just kick the bloody thing"

Player gets a hurried kick and turns it over

"To a Melbourne player!"

"Pick it up, come on! Argh why didn't you pick it up?"

"Don't kick sideways, the goals are that way"

They must have been going off against freo.

I usually sit near the Criclet Victoria box. I heard some nuffy using the first refrain last week.

Haha, I've been a full member since I was 16. So no, incorrect.

There is a family that have sat there in the front row for years, and they never say anything stupid. They were there with us when we were pathetic between 2007-2013, and were there every week like us.

So as I prefaced this original little rant, @La Dee-vina Comedia , most MCC supporters are nuffies. Not all.

How bad are the queues? This is my first game of the season. I was planning on arriving around 615 PM

depends how much heat you are packing

Handguns fine but semiautomatics you need to queue on the far left side

I know context is everything, but I actually felt a bit uncomfortable reading this. I'm curious...did it also affect others in that way?

Could you be any more sensitive about a post?

What do you call cheese thats not your cheese?

Nacho cheese

I'll show myself out

@Demonstone - is that you?

It is quite remarkable that the Tigers have beaten 2 decent/good teams they are missing 7 best 22 players

Their team is filled with 3-4 solid senior players then NQRs and kids

On paper we should win by 60pts plus but who the hell knows?!

That's definitely not me. I'm the guy critiquing the umpires

"That's not a mark"

"That's not 15"

BALLLLLLLLLL!

"You've got to pay them both ways"

"FFS"

"There used to be one umpire who's doing a better job than these 4"

Kosssieeeeeee!

"They need to get rid of the insufficient intent rule, that call was b*[censored]"

"Kick a goal son! How good was that!"

I just hope the players know you have your lucky socks and play for them

I told Goody the lucky socks story and he laughed and said, “Tell Maysie about that!” I didn’t speak to Maysie but I’m guessing he also has lucky socks (?) If so, he’d better have them on tonight. The Ghosty and Maysie lucky socks one-two punch will get us over the line. 🧦 🧦 👊🏼

We recently had a much-loved cheer squad member pass away. As a homage, someone will do what he did every match. He’d yell out to the umpire, “He’s been doing it all night!” but always in the first few minutes of the match. Never not funny

I heard this a couple of years back in the top deck at Marvel, and have even rolled it out myself as well. Agree it never gets old

He other one I heard and liked was in a day game when a bloke yelled out “turn the lights on, I want to see more of this” (wasn’t this year!!)

🤔 Would a Javelin launcher be too much?

Bit of a pain trying to get a javelin launcher onto a packed train in the way home

Outside the ‘G right now and they’re sound-checking. I’ve heard both anthems and the Last Post. Already very moving.

Dees by 3 goals it should be more but we have the lead weight back in the forward line this week.

Very Suprised that Goodwin has bought Fritsch back into the side after only 1 week.

Hope it works,

win tonight and there is a pulse left in the Season

Would also need to beat Eagles and then Hawks to get off life support

Of course

But we can’t afford to look ahead, apart from the next game

On my way in now. I'm expecting a win but who knows.

Hopefully we see the exciting footy we saw last week.

If kozzie can reproduce that form & petty can snag a few we'll be on our way.

Cn wait to see mcvee back
