  1. Danger game in years gone by. When expected to win we would put in an ordinary performance e.g. when Essendon decimated by the doping saga and fielded a reserves team that beat us. 2020's Dee's way better than that, though. Why are there 2 Friday night games this week anyway?
  2. When do we get to buy this streak video? Saints had one, remember.
  3. Freezing cold night. We were challenged but came though ok. Essendon supporters booing every decision was nauseating. Sooks.
  4. Tough tipping round to be honest. Did get the first one.
  5. What happens after he says shiny a few times? It sounds like Wiggins with the headmaster in a Derek & Clive routine.
  6. Most of that was merchandise in the form of dentures which had teeth already missing. Supply exceeded demand.
  7. So on the real flag, if I were to get close to it can I use the spready fingers thing to make the font bigger so I can see my name on the actual material?
  8. That is true, but I have more faith in Kate to deliver than past incumbents.
  9. As mentioned, 3 existing board members returned in what looked like a landslide on the bar graph displayed. Pert talked for 20 minutes on Financials. All indicators are promising with 50K crowds at home games listed as 'a challenge'. All the other metrics were going strong. We made 2.6 (I think) million operating profit. Big turnaround from last year and a lot of it due to plebs like me spending $100's on merch post premiership. Was not expected to make this sort of profit given the pandemic. Missing out on Queens Birthday cost us about 2 Million. Bentleigh is still an asset till later this year. The money from that sale will be put into a 'futures fund' rather than being spent on operations or jacking up losses into profits. Richo talked for about 10 minutes on footy related matters. No great revelations. According to our Constitution, we cannot use electronic voting as 'mail vote' means mail vote according to lawyers. It's a bit like the second amendment in the States I suppose. Anyway, that will be looked at but probably one of those things where members have to get ~80% or something to change? The last change to this to enforce mail votes would have been post Hawthorn merger given what happened that night and to stop that happening again. This was before voting electronically on the internet was available. Kate spoke of the facilities for the club at Goshes. While the oval is being re-done to be G length and Docklands wide, negotiations are still being done regarding Admin & training facilities but are progressing 'strongly'. Alas, she cannot say more than that as it's a State Government affected project. Also spoken was MFC commitment to first peoples through various initiatives. Forget the name of that project. The new Oval we built near Alice got flooded and might need more work. Chip in a few dollars if you can when approached.
  10. I'm no Healy sympathiser, but Kozzie did just lift the ball up when on the ground. But he should have got the free for too high 3 seconds earlier. Ump squaring off? Healy drives me nuts when commentating as it seems he always looks for negatives. And do you notice how he inhales very loudly before making a comment!
  11. Richmond won 2 of theirs in years of the Pig and the Rat. And to think I never believed in astrological hocus pocus.
  12. Available n Coles, but I don't want to cook them. Just buy and devour........ at the footy.
  13. What is wrong with the concept of fat encased in fat? Wowsers!
  14. Haven't been able to buy a Chico Roll at a Melbourne game since about 1979.
  15. 88 Prelim. Garry Lyon Torp that went 80 metres. Pissing down with rain, cold and 5th row from the fence and didn't care.
  16. Lets not get ahead of ourselves. I'm just taking it one premiership at a time.
  17. Don't care about 186 anymore. We were crap back then, and had been for ages and the rebuild would commence next season. All 186 means to me now is the donk I had in my EH about 40 years ago.
  18. They said at the start players not allowed to socialise with punters, and they were in separate areas pre function. I certainly didn’t get near any players or staff, but unsure if others did. In a queue now in town. Been here nearly 2 hours and still at least 45 mins away from the entrance.
  19. If it was about the Grand Final would get 100%
  20. Finals are included. All MFC games.
  21. The K-Rock call (You Tube) instead of Bang Bang Bang, it was Whack Whack, Whackity Whack. One of the callers post game was still fuming about the Round 23 loss. 😆
  22. Does it come with a certificate of authenticity?
  23. Yeah, I was disappointed with the no bottom stubby holders as well. Suppose they do tend to fall out anyway. That said, am dunking from one of myne as i tpye.
