This is information that the MCC did not consider worth sharing.

Got my MCC seat, you beauty. Will need to make enough noise for two people given that the crowd will only be about half of what it would otherwise be.

So many chances, so many fails, just not good enough.

Lever??? You must have been watching one of our earlier games ...

Does anyone still seriously hold that Weideman is up to AFL standard?

Yes it is and we play well there. I don't think the Lions have played there very often so I reckon that gives us an advantage.

Dare to dream ...

In early rounds, I had the experience of completing my order and being kicked off, but it was because I wasn't putting in the number of seats for each MCC member for whom I was buying tickets (myself and siblings). But for the last two or three rounds, buying my seats has been a breeze. With regard to your delay today, maybe I just got lucky and logged in at a time when the system was working?

In defence of Ticketek, I logged on at about 10.00am, "bought" my three MCC Reserve seats and logged out. Smooth transaction, took about 60 seconds from start to finish.

Here's my contribution from 2017. Watch it without sound, the backing song is pretty silly even though it's about someone called Nathan Jones. And yes, Jonesy once had hair!

Tom was genuinely hungry for the ball on Saturday. I thought he played a fantastic game, our second best behind Gawn IMHO. He covered a massive amount of territory, one minute he was down forward, I looked away and suddenly he was in the backline. One of the great things about being at the game is that you see things not obvious on TV. He just kept running all day, either clunking marks or making a contest. As one who thought he might be past his best last year, I'm delighted to see the real TMac standing tall. I'd back putting him on the wing, moving Brayshaw into the middle and giving Jordon a rest.

Anyone who didn't give Max the six votes wasn't watching the game.

Interesting interview with a wonderful player. Not yet ready to change my moniker to "Langdon Magic", but give me a flag this year and maybe I will!
