Daisy chatting with Whately (SEN) this morning. More confirmation of her all round footy and media cred (though the Collingwood 2022 love a little disturbing!) Missed the start and should interest many/most of you anyway. Can a clever 'Lander track down and post the audio, pretty please?

With 'Luke Jackson Contract' nipping at its heels?

I come and go, and rarely with any depth to the former, but I'm always watching, informed or entertained or both. I don't know if it's been noted elsewhere, but the forum recently notched up 2 million posts. Another testament to your evidently sustained and worthwhile work, @Demonland! Thanks!

On Footy Class (sorry...) just now, a graphic showing recent winning streaks ending in the premiership (to demonstrate that Geelong would achieve an equal-best 16 games): it showed our 7 games of last year but the year nominated was 2022. It's a lock then!

He must be close to burnt out?... 😉

Be nice if his run continues and 'tracs' like N.Smith's or, even better, B.Dixon's before him, which came with 3 and 4 flags respectively!

Further to @david_neitz_is_my_dad and @Bring-Back-Powell observations, recall fondly the lengthy outrage and counteroutrage herein about Swans supporters outnumbering us this year!

Well played @Lucifers Hero, and welcomed response @Demonstone. I hope it is particularly particularly devious as I'll be otherwise engaged at 4 on Thursday and will be hoping at least Bronze is still available by the time I can get to it!

Smooth, quick, good seats. I'm worried...

The right stuff, LH. Thanks!

Subject line of email to me: Melbourne Football Club <[email protected]> Should we be surprised at yet one more layer of confusion/difficulty/stress induction????.....

The email from the Club says Ticketmaster. I'm guessing this 'members pre-sale' is them and the public sales are then Ticketek?

Before @Demonstone gets in: That's the approach they should take. Then they can try someone new each week. Demonstone is letting me out, thanks...

Not many players have an immediate impact when they first step up to a senior level of footy. Kicked 6 in one match at reserve level... Doesn't find much ball? ..quality small forward don't need to find alot of it and tend not to a la Jeffy, Cyril etc to make a quality impact. How often have we heard the phrase "give me 15 quality touches vs 30 that are mostly rubbish or result in mostly turnovers anyday". You can't compare him to anyone at AFL level at this point (statistically) ...he hasn't played. Rediculous comparison. What attributes does he have well let me name a few... > Has a great leap ...equal 9th in the running jump at combine. Can take an awesome specky and also alows him to keep the ball alive in the air at times (eg; tapping a high bouncing ball or one off a pack to advantage) or defend from behind if needed. > Doesn't lose his feet easily > Fierce tackler > Great follow up second efforts including repeat tackles > knows where the goals are (sixth sense off one or two steps) and clever at reading / waiting off the ball and crumbing. > Bides his time just outside the main scrum sweating on the spillage or loose ball without getting sucked into the contest. If he already has all this at his tender age....imagine how much further upside there is with a few pre-seasons and experience at the highest level. Edited November 7, 2019 by Rusty Nails 1 Kudos, DD. And, hasn't the hair growth made him even better!?

@The heart beats true, @Demonstone, @Demons11, @Jaded No More, @binman: I'm afraid - and somewhat surprised at the mildness - that Where's Wendy might have been saying, 'That sucks!' Headed for Memehood, I wouldn't be surprised...

OR, for some weird reason, it didn't come through to my feed until just now... Well done you other smartypantses.

Jack Riewoldt and Shane Edwards move into equal top spot, with 3 others, in most draws played in (7). Hah hah!

Thanks @layzie! Rex and Dermie. You can close the thread now, mods.

Simon was questioned in today's presser about 'the commentary on Daisy's commentary' (and - good on him - dismissed it eloquently and forcefully. And absolutely correctly imv - she is head and shoulders (metaphorically!) above her colleagues). I wasn't aware of this; nor is Demonland generally, it seems. Can anyone fill us in?

Thanks @Little Goffy and aren't they a great read, Bim? Scrolling further down, it turns out Sunday's team was the most experienced ever fielded by the MFC, with a total 2705 games. Thanks Bowser>Tommo / Clarry>Melky? 😉 (22/23 players vs the old 20 also helps of course...)

Express-posting the gold back to you, DS.

Sorry about my obtuseness earlier, @Neil Crompton and @DeeZone. I was being a smart**** by obliquely linking @Demonstone's Latin shorthand to his conundrumming, claiming a gold and throwing to others for the silver and bronze (compounding my smart****dness). I then edited a Caro reference in as a lame afterthought to be on topic i.e. would Caro know 'QED'? I'll stop myself there (having shown myself out...)

I'm claiming Aurum on this one, Mr Stone! Who's up for Argenti and Aereus? (are you there, Caro?)

Well done! Crikey!
