So after a great weekend last weekend on the Gold Coast, I get to spend this weekend at home with COVID! Both my wife and I have it and am sure the kids will pick it up soon too! Ah well had to get it out of the way at some stage, going to get the fire going at home, order some Dan muphy dinner and sit back, relax and enjoy the show! Just hope the umps leave their whistles at home. Still reckon the best umpiring occurs when free kicks for both sides are in the mid teens. Go well good fellows!

Haha yeah had a great night. Wedding was at Kirra Hill Community Centre, overlooking Coolangatta and Kirra beaches, perfect weather other than a very light shower, drank about a 100 beers, the lucky couple got married according to plan, and all in attendance seemed to have an enjoyable evening. Enjoying some crap TV on foxtel in the accommodation while I wait for the grog to wear off! Stay well party people 🍻🥂🍷🥃🍸🍺🍹

Didn’t see 1 second of the game, happy to get 4 points, happy to be undefeated so far, onto next week.

Well here I am, not but 24km from the ground but unable to attend. Normally from sunny Melbourne, I’m here in rainy Kirra for a wedding which kicks off at 3pm. Will be sneaking a look at the score as often as festivities (and my wife) allow.

They really bring the hate on themselves at times. Seriously why bring in a black and white rule then officiate it with all manner of grey immediately

I see you’re allowed to argue with the umpire now? Was it just our game against Carlton that rule existed for?

Is the ball made of butter or something?

Same as last year for me which I think I got correct: 1. Demons 2 and beyond: Who cares

Sure you weren’t on a scam website? 😬

51,513 now according to MFC Instagram

MAAAAAAXXXXYYY!

The thing that is REALLY frustrating is that the umps manage to see EVERY possible thing the dogs way, and manage to miss about half the possible ones our way.

Why does Spargo think he can kick from 50?

Big thing I noticed tonight was the amount of scrub kicks and times caught holding the ball we did, speaks of heavy legs from last weeks run fest. Hopefully look a heck of a lot better next game after some solid recovery work. PS for anyone that was there, my daughter was the girl on the field at three quarter time in the 3 shots on goal thing they did for BCNA with the 3 kids. She got her third one through and was super happy about the cheer the crowd gave her. Big thank you if that was you cheering, you made her night!!! 🙏😊❤️💙

Heading down to Casey for the game with my oldest daughter this evening, how’s getting out of the car parks these days?

49,667 now according to MFC website. Would that include AFLW memberships?

Absolutely it has, on two fronts I reckon: one sided crowd and a playing surface which is around 26m narrower than the MCG. Width makes it much easier for their aging bodies to defend the ground, they have no hope on the width of the G.

First time in my 41yo life I've ever looked at a fixture and not given two hoots who we play twice.

Of interest to the topic possibly: https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/nation-building-25b-plan-for-chain-of-towers-linking-cbd-with-mcg-20211109-p5978v.html

Hypothetical question, which would you prefer? - member for 20 years living Perth, basically have full freedom and bugger all lockdowns for past 18months, gets opportunity to attend first grand final win since 1964 - member for 20 years living in Melbourne, been lockdown for 250 days over past 18 months with your 3 kids in prep-grade 3 home schooling for nearly 3 full terms in that time, working full time AND misses opportunity to attend first grand final win since 1964

Dunno, but I clicked the link they sent me yesterday, no discount was shown, had another look today, 10% across the board.

Is it just me or is the premiership merch now all on sale at a 10% discount? If so, that’s a bit rough after I bought stuff last night at full retail.

Hahaha yeah just threw away a fat stack on mercy also! My daughter was like “can I get that”, I’m like “yep”, she “can I get that too”, me “sure” and that and that and that. Yep yep yep

Is there a hurricane favoring that end?
