My recollection is that Barassi talked about loading at North. And it probably goes back further than that. It is not a new thing, it is real and is done in many sports.

Some MFC private school ratbags. Jack Viney Ed Langdon Adam Tomlinson James Jordan Jayden Hunt Harry Petty Kate Chandler Mitch Brown What a bunch of trouble makers. Oh and Steven May.

There I was agreeing with much of what you said and then you reveal the chip on your shoulder. "Private school types". You need to get over your misconception of private school types. If I was prepared to waste more time I believe I could establish a case for ratbag public and private school types. Equally, fine young men and natural leaders from both camps.

We have the best game in the world. Why I don't go to AFL matches. (I regularly go to local matches) Flashing lights! How does that improve the spectacle? I even have trouble with that on the TV Loud music! In breaks in play I like to talk to people not stick my fingers in my ears. Admittedly there is also the 6 hours of driving but that is bearable. So I pay my membership to support the team I love, but I cannot subject myself to pointless flashing lights and pounding music. It ruins a pleasurable experience.

Should take the media pressure of us.

What's that noise? It's the media scuffle leaving the MFC racing to Footscay. Apparently been a crash with another grand finalist. Oh the blood-lust!

Just a flesh wound, barely a scratch really.

DeeCving, the problem for me is that it may have been worse.

I don't know what you think May said, but in Gawn's press conference he said that the Grand Final comment in the media was not true.

Quite what? Quite quiet perhaps 🤔

Were they all married?

First thought is no Steven May. Secondly why have non MFC players. Then I thought they have to be born in Vic. Shame I think I missed the point 😅

I believe the umpires are the arbiters of time. The time keepers start and stop the clock and blow the siren. The umpires signal the end of the game after they hear the siren. Probably a fifty as is did delay play. We were told to play to the umpires whistle not the siren or anything else.

Naughty to use quotation marks here. Who are you quoting? My guess is yourself.

You are going to keep people accountable! My goodness you certainly have tickets.

I've been calling him plugger for years. Perish the thought of reusing nicknames. Maybe we could call him Macca, that would be original 🤔

Thanks for that. Nice of you to ignore the premise. Perhaps you would like a forward line of players over 2metres tall. The real point is you don't need to have 2metre + forwards to have a successful side.

Don't bomb it in. You play to your strengths. And most of them can take a mark. So if Melbourne are the best defensive side how would we man up? We could cover 2 or 3 but the others would cut us up. It is about quality not height.

I don't care how tall a forward is. I couldn't care if they were all under 190cm. Kicking a winning score is the aim, made easier by a tight defence. What about a forward line with Charlie Cameron, Dustin Martin, Toby Greene, Christian Petracca, Willi Rioli and Bayley Fritch. How would the average defence handle that? You don't need to be tall to be a good forward.

What other kind of marks are there? Or does it mean kicks kicked within the forward 50?

You can say that again. Oh, you did.

Don't do it Crackers, not at the current price of petrol!

I had a chat to the umpires at 1/4 time at the local footy today. I complimented them on a good job. Then I said even when I disagreed with them they were probably right. They laughed and said I probably put the mozz on them. It's a tough job, they get it right most of the time, but that free kick late in the 3rd, what were they thinking? We'd be stuffed without them. Thanks umpires.
