Casey Twitter said pre match "stay tuned for updates" 😴

That is simply poor from MFC/Casey. Embarrassingly so.

Hopefully, this keeps us updated.

When we win the GF 😉 we will have experienced the longest season in VFL/AFL history. Most important to me is no injuries and enough glimpses to have confidence we are on the right track. Being right on top of our game in February would actually make me more nervous than confident.

Different methodology, but similar result. Maynard could, and should have, avoided tucking in his arms and knocking Gus out. It was deliberate. The AFL could, and should have, suspended Maynard on rules existing at the time. They didn't. It was deliberate. I will never forget, or forgive the A FU L or the Collingwood F#*×@ Club.

You are right re thoughts on the bump. Unfortunately, we know what would happen. "No, no, no....it wasn't a bump, it was a meeting of bodies, it was unavoidable contact, it was a shepherd, a smother, a Freemason greeting....." Lawyer gobbledygook and the AFL buckle, depending on the club. ⚫️⚪️ Importantly, Gus is no longer at risk. Thanks for everything #10 ❤️💙

Me and the missus have now joined. ❤️💙

You strike me more of a KAOS girl WCW.

Thanks for these reports Andy. Much appreciated. Just for clarity though, given we have 2 Browns, can you use their initials - BB or KB to distinguish.

The bloke on the southern wing wasn't bad either. 🌷

The simple reason being is usually the top talent is taken by the bottom teams. All of our premierships in the last 60 years have included a first year draftee. You can twist these sorts of stats to suit any argument. David King taught me that. 😉

I love the bloke. I hope he finishes top 10 in their B & F. But I do also hope he hits Fritsch on the chest again when we play them. 😁

Very generous to say Pruess has done well. 10 games in 3 years - all in 2022. When he's not injured, he's suspended.

The lack of responses here would indicate a 'who cares' factor. In the big picture, I get that. But for what it's worth, I would think a no sub, 5 person interchange is both simpler and inevitable, so why delay it? The fact that Corn disagrees suggests that I am right. 😏

Ground hog Day

I'm not sure what that means. We did the Nullarbor crossing (which I loved) in '22 and the accommodation was varied to say the least. The Farm View was easily the best value for money on the trip. I don't know the proprietors from a bar of soap. I deliberately chose Wudinna knowing Harrison is from there and was curious. I was initially going to say I couldn't understand the pull back home, but ours was a one night stopover with no time for exploring, so that would have been unfair. Especially with family, friends and memories there. All that said, it's a long way from Adelaide and like many, I suspect $$$ is the main attraction. And tbh, if the figures quoted are correct, I won't begrudge him.

If ever you visit Harrison's home town of Wudinna, I can highly recommend Wudinna Farm View as a place to stay. Beautifully presented and great value. The town has terrible inflation, if the pub is any indicator, however. I had 3 glasses of wine one night, the cost of which rose by $1 each visit to the Bar. A fellow patron brought a 40 pack of smokes - $100. This was over 2years ago.

Indeed, we have won 6 GF's in the year the summer Olympics were held. That's 2 more than any other team. We also won in 1940, a scheduled Olympic year, but something else was going on at the time, apparently.

Coincidentally, I googled Demon Podcasts and listened to this yesterday before seeing this post. Never knew it existed. Nathan was excellent and the hosts were fine. Even gave Demonland a plug. I'll tune in again.

A hard watch for those that remember. Except that I never have felt prouder of my football club that day. My God, didn't we all want to give Trisha a hug.

It's staggering to reflect that nearly 228,000 people can be lost because of one act of nature. The 2005 R.1 Melbourne vs Essendon match that honoured Troy was the most emotional game I've attended.

Palace Pickett, please 🥰

1971 R18 at Arden Street. I was 17yo and although a Demon from my earliest memory, I had never seen them live. Dad rarely went and I never saw a game with him, despite chasing his car in tears as he went with a neighbour. I either played myself or followed the races in those days. I had started my first job in a bank in the city and had become good friends with a North supporter. Given our teams were playing and I wasn't, we went and were two of a crowd of just 6500 to brave the wind and rain that day. 14 of the 17 match goals were scored at one end. Game day reports show Max Walker replaced 'Crackers' Keenan in the last quarter, we had just 32 handballs for the day and over 100 frees were awarded. I remember we were 26 pts down at 3/4 time but kicked 5 of our 9 match goals in the last quarter to draw the game. My mate's smug look evaporating with every goal. As my mate's brother was good friends with David Dench, I joined them in the social club post match. Last thing I remember was being escorted out mid evening after cheering Melbourne's goals on the replay being shown and singing It's A Grand Old Flag.
