    I was never brave enough to go to Vic park. At the age of 12 ( I cant believe even before that age then how much freedom to wonder, I had. ...my parents were irresponsible but it was great) my mate a crazy tigers fan wanted me to go with him but we chickened out.

    I went with a great tigers mate too and watched Mark? Lee punch Peter Moore in the back of the head at every marking contest but...

    Half way through the 3rd I looked down and saw 4 tinnies had come adrift from the bogans in front of us.  Every now and then I pushed them closer and closer with my feet.  Late in the 4th it was obvious that they had been forgotten so I casually bent down and put them in my mates bag. As he packed up to go he looked in and I could see his brain ticking over.  (Please dont say anything).  On leaving the ground he said 'Dont you ever do that again'.  Tasted divine.

    Yep, my brother used to tell me to make sure I’d been to the loo before we left home for Princes Park since there was no way he was gonna wait ‘two lifetimes’ for me queuing up for the ladies’ room. Pretty harsh of him since I was only 7 or 8 years old. 😐

    My son and I went to see our home game vs Eagles at princes park.  There was 7000 and a dog there  and the queue for the ladies went 50m.

    Absolute disgrace.

    Ardern St - standing on empty steel beer cans so I could see

    Moorabbin - my uncle yelling abuse at Ross Smith the entire game

    Vic park - watching someone get their head kicked in

    Western oval - having our car broken into and groceries stolen

    Waverley - cars bogged up to the axel

    Junction Oval - indecent exposure

    Princes park - I asked my son what was that strange lighting arrangement on the other side of the ground; he said that it was the electronic scoreboard.  Had the worst pies and even on a non match day there would be a queue for the ladies toilets.  Absolute disgrace.

    Curb your Enthusiasm new series has started out ... as previously mentioned Only Murders in the Building

    'Barry' is good, The Kominsky Method is decent

    As for Sci-fi ... got a bit to catch up on as there is a bit about

    'Dark' is supposed to be good,  Glitch season 3 to watch.  Have they made any more of 'Black Mirror'?

    Quite liked Barry,  though the 2nd season has some stupid plot lines.

    I am also watching You on the Flix though it is getting a tad repetitive.  Worth a good look.

    I've done the same as you, I was rather annoyed when I got the Victory Pack and when I played the GF the lines on the ground were shimmering and distorted. I got 4 packs that cost me over $600n and not only is the picture poor, the umpires voices are muffled like they are in a tunnel.

    I've got the Blue Ray copies but haven't seen them yet because they were delivered to my son.

    That shimmering sure puts you off.  I went and bought a blu ray player and it wasnt much better till I upped the resolution to 1080 (isnt that a poison?)

    My local Sanity has 50% off everything but the chance of it having AFL is very remote.

    Surely WCW you are not suggesting that some D/Lers are so uninformed and disinterested that there only contact with MFC is this fantastic site on their PC laptop tablet or smartphone. 
    Or that That they  don't read papers or watch TV or listen to the radio to update their knowledge about the mighty Dees.

    My point is that today we don't want for opportunities to obtain knowledge or information and in my opinion  it frustrates me that this forum seems overused by some as a quick Q and A function to save a Google or Siri enquiry, scan of the daily paper or website browse.

    Demonland  deserves better IMO as does our Club website which both serve as excellent but different choices to keep in touch with our beloved Reigning Premiers as we attempt to go back to back and establish a dynasty to Match  our previous successful glory years of the last century. 


     

    For what it is worth being in Cairns my source of MFC news is 

    Demonland then the MFC website then family....I am not going to subscribe to the main stream media on the remote chance that they publish something remotely AFL. If only a Pies player was bitten by a croc.

    DL is a broad church (or hell pit) where most are welcome to express their views.  Yes some are repetitive (players ran laps at training 😀) and tedious but I am happy to live with that if the alternative is an exclusive club.

    Without Posters DL would be nothing.
