2022 Finals Tickets
...BTW, I just copied the Sydney members suggestion from someone else here. Forget who now, but thanks Demonland - love you guys, GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!! Let's smash those Swans - we owe those Balastrades.

2022 Finals Tickets
Why not load them from the start, rather than create all the stress and anxiety. Not rocket science MFC members would want more tickets - and it's our home game. We earnt it, we should be entitled to more from the get go.

2022 Finals Tickets
Let's flood the ground with MFC members. To be honest, we should have been allocated 90% of the members tickets anyway.

2022 Finals Tickets
That's an ordinary response from the club. They should be backing you and saying it's not good enough and that they will be demanding the AFL and Ticketeck fix these problems. Not good enough. Members that support teams and the competition through thick and thin deserve to be looked after. F you AFL and Ticket Toss.

2022 Finals Tickets
I tried all of that soo many times and could eventually only get it to work with a single barcode. Why can't they just use simple text and logic functions to screen out these simple syntax issues? Its like 2022. And why not tell people this stuff in the email, rather than supply them with them in a format that includes characters that the website won't accept. It's setting people up to fail. ...just got tickets in from the Sydney allocation.

2022 Finals Tickets
I was in, couldn't get the bloody site to recognise my bar codes for 5 mins (because apparently it only wanted 1, not all 4). Had my tickets selected (I was going to have to pay for 2 x adults and 2 x children, despite a family pass which would have covered all 4 being available for $60 cheaper, but it wouldn't let me select it). Was just about to confirm my selection and the site rimmed out on me. Have been in the que again for the past 40mins, without sucess. Ticketek make easy money from this stuff - they need to do much better. Sooo furious right now.

Farewell Luke Jackson
Who needs a girlfriend when you can have a bromance like this. Whenever I see Jacko with his team mates and the way they all talk about each other, I actually find it hard to fathom that he hasn't or won't just sign up already.

Harrison Petty incident
The ones who should really be embarrassed by this are the TV networks who cottened onto Harry, blew it up into some huge incident and then wouldn't let it go. There wasn't really any public interest angle they 'had to know about' in this incident, just a bunch of nosey comentators desperately trying to make a story out of something which happed on field. Max and others were quite obviously playing a very straight bat to it post game despite the all the media prying. In the end, I think Harry may well have feel embarrassed about this incident, but as a result of the OTT media circus around it, not any actions on his behalf. Great job Fox and Seven (BT was one of the worst got a sniff of it and went blabbering on and carrying on that 'they'll get to the bottom of this' for pretty much 50% of the commentary time post the event).

As Balls, I've got a few originals of these from back in the day! 😜

Melbourne Demons 90s Training Jacket
Just as much a late 80s training jacket. Reminds me alot of the late, great Robbie Flower.

NON-MFC: Round 22, 2022
Not sure if you were on the turps when you wrote this Deever, but I think big Maxy did just fine kicking for goal after the siren Rd 23 last year and setup our magnificent premiership drought breaker. I don't want to critise him either. He's MFC royalty as far as I'm concerned, but I'd really love it if he can find his goal kicking radar again and help us smash the Cats in a prelim on the way to a flag at the spiritual home of the MFC at the MCG!

Something about Max's kicking for easy set shots at goal 🤔. [censored] [censored] [censored] !!!

NON-MFC: Round 22, 2022
I don't disagree with that either but the media frenzy has also fed off this rubbish as well. It's like Jack Watts all over again in some sense. I also think it's a severe double standard. Let's see the jurno the wrote the story take an ice bath until someone else says it's time.

NON-MFC: Round 22, 2022
For something a little random, I've gotta say - [censored] Fox Sorts news caries on with some rubbish sometimes just to make a story our of nothing. How's this for a [censored] storm out of nothing: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/roos-great-says-club-wont-be-held-to-ransom-by-prized-no1-picks-uncertain-future/news-story/a7af70f7b0748d5c07186548a92a259a Like who really wants to take an ice bath. I can't imagine this being a story in other circumstances.

JAKE BOWEY APPRECIATION THREAD.
Time to get this kid back into the side and start another games winning streak. In fact, let's turn it into a premership winning streak for Bowser.

H&A % as an indicator of team chances to win Finals
Conversely ... 2021? I like that record 80% record the MFC has of converting minor premerships into flags.

Yep and didn't he put on a show for the ages on GF day!

GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
Loved that chase by Hunt. Was a mile off and they looked like they were going to waltz in and slam it through for a goal, but Hunt's chase and pressure they kicked to the square and it got rushed through or something. Exactly the sort of act which will see him hold his place in the team.

GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
I'm going off a bit in the stands tonight and thought maybe I was out ferraling the Collingwood supporters, but then a group of apprentice/teenaged Magpies went past screeching some rubbish and I'm starting to realise I'm not even in the same ball park.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs Collingwood
[censored] hate the modern way of selling all the good GA seats as reserved. They should always leave some decient ones for first in best dressed IMO. As MFC members at every other MFC home game this year (been to most) we've been able to sit freely on level on Southern stand - good reward for loyal support of the club NOT!

Should Jack Viney be captain again?
I think it would be great for Jack to be captain again once Max retires or decides he doesn't want the role any more. He'll probably never be Shakespeare, but Jacks public speaking has got better of late as has his overall demeanor and overzealous intensity off the feild and I think he's also probably better equipped now to carry the mantle of captain.
