Demonstone's Tiresome & Torturous Tuesday Timewaster
OR, for some weird reason, it didn't come through to my feed until just now... Well done you other smartypantses.

NON-MFC: Round 19, 2022
Jack Riewoldt and Shane Edwards move into equal top spot, with 3 others, in most draws played in (7). Hah hah!

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

Daisy's commentary
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?

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - KYSAIAH KROPINYERI PICKETT
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...)

Caro Verbosis Interruptus
Express-posting the gold back to you, DS.

Caro Verbosis Interruptus
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?)

Demonstone's Second Sensational Sunday Sidetracker
Well done! Crikey!

Demonstone's Second Sensational Sunday Sidetracker
@Demonstone, see above

Demonstone's Second Sensational Sunday Sidetracker
And @Demonstone, I presume including Messrs Brown, Hibberd, Langdon, Lever and May would have made it a real dead giveaway? Would 5 be a record too, btw? In the AFL era at least? Would Tomlinson have made sure of it?

Me too. Grandkids my excuse. And you were all too quick!

NON-MFC: Round 15, 2022
Just lifting the Cone of Silence for a moment: Did Dogs n Dorks do 14 goals 1 behind in the last quarter? Some kind of accuracy and/or volume record? (would you believe?)

VOTES: Rd 10 vs Carlton
I'm afraid I place myself at the end we're kicking to each quarter, so I don't fully appreciate the work of the backs (though Sinead Goldrick is a quirky fave I keep an eye on at a distance!...though I was on the 'grand'stand wing near the toilets for the last 5 minutes!), so the following includes some of Mick's post-match observation. The 5 for Alyssa B starts with her gut-run off half back to put herself at the end of the coast-to-coast chain for her first goal. Bannen D.Pearce Heath Lampard Mithen HM to L.Pearce; I love the way she throws herself at everything, belying her size

GAMEDAY: AFLW Rd 07 vs Brisbane Lions
(Back again, briefly) Just watched the replay. Good stuff! But, point of order, Your Honours: if the siren has gone, and the ball comes off hands, isn't it 'dead', i.e. no score? If so, I hope Bodey's point doesn't come back to bite us...

Training Ground?
Didn't look to have changed much when I drove along Punt yesterday. Maybe trees will overhang, à la the Traeger Park gum?

Vale Laurie Mithen
Did anyone else get taught to swim by his wife Wendy Mithen? (I think my ageing memory is serving me well...)

VOTES: AFLW Rd 04 vs Adelaide
I missed it live. Should I bother with the replay to vote? The progress scores suggested as you've noted, @WERRIDEE

The No T$ No B$ Thread
Sorry about that, Chief. 'Obtuse' is becoming my middle name? Commodore = @Redleg(refer my earlier (obtuse) posts) I was proposing he dreamt his encounter with S.Freud. S.Freud wrote on the interpretation of dreams. I was proposing that, in wading through this thread, you would have earned a doctorate in the advanced psychology you suggested was needed to do so. I thus threw it to you to interpret Redleg's dream. See, that wasn't so hard!😉 Was it?😮

In MFCSS world, then, you were both impressively 'out there'!

PRACTICE MATCH: vs North Melbourne Streamed LIVE on Kayo
There's lots of speculation on other threads, Faulty! But the cockiness of supremacy always threatens - as is the case here - to lead to frivolity. For my part, I apologise. Nah. Just joking.
