  1. I’m looking forward to the inevitable media pile on
  2. This year and last eh
  3. The Bangalow pub is very Melbourne-esque. Like an inner Melbourne pub. Even has Aussie rules on the teles
  4. If true and if the story has come from his camp he may have scared Houston (and others?) off whatever your view of the Houston deal, it’s a suboptimal way of taking care of the club paying you a lot of $$
  5. I’m interested in what Chrysanthemum Thistlethwaite has to say on this: @WalkingCivilWar? 🕵🏻🕵🏻
  6. Stick a pineapple on an Oliver brownlow, what, old boy!
  7. Is it available online? I’m not in melb so can’t listen. I’m happy to go through the torture of listening to Dwayne just for Chris
  8. Understatement we’ve had 250mm down Bangalow way.
  9. Good luck i wrote a constructive but plaintiff letter after the finals - highlighting how we responded to Maynard - nothing. I know I’m not owed a response but I’ve emailed Gary Pert before (before the 21 GF and got an obviously personal response immediately). I suspect membership may plummet next year Peter Ryan’s article today states she was bewildered at our position at the presidents lunch last week. Well. Aren’t we all!
  10. If it’s his mandate I have some serious questions for the coach.
  11. I feel like it would be a good move to not ready any football news or DL until round 1 . imagine the surprise at who’s playing!
  12. Straight sets 2023 set off alarm bells. Losing Gus rang more alarm bells, the Sydney game was putrid Kings birthday though. Should have come out breathing fire but too interested in cuddling Maynard
  13. It’s imperative. We didn’t have it for a long while (1800km away, now an hour). It makes things very hard depending on your situation.
  14. Sticking $$ on an Oliver brownlow for 2025 right now
  15. I will miss his gut running followed by his gaping mouth trying to get his air back. I loved that about him. He rang my son on a junior member ring around about a month ago, and he was so happy to tell Alex he was his favourite, behind Petracca 😂 I had a quick word to him too and he didn’t rush me off the phone. That says a lot. One of our faves. Go well, Nibbler. It’s funny eh, I can’t think of a player except Howe who’s left us that I bore any ill will toward and no one exemplifies that more than ANB.
  16. The way we went silent on the Maynard incident at very high levels was incredibly disappointing. From Gleeson’s “I’m concerned he’ll miss finals” comment, the victim blaming by Collingwood, allowing McGuire’s comments to go unchallenged, the lack of public statement at the highest levels - big let down. someone made a comment earlier that they’d prefer the board/exec work behind the scenes - sure, but they can do both. Working behind the scenes isn’t helping the MFC achieve all that much the AFL not having counter experts (biomechanics, sports movement etc) to me displayed incredible ineptitude or a lack of desire to properly prosecute the case - either way our club should have been decrying that prosecution very clearly we’ve been the good corporate citizen for a long period now - moments like that demand stronger action it has left a very bad taste in my mouth that episode
  17. This. Find the leaker and sack them
  18. We didn’t have an unwell baby but our first was very challenging. Being 2hrs flight (+ travel on each end ) is a large barrier to calling and seeing if someone can come around from 15 mins away.
  19. It’s none of my business, and I could be wrong but perhaps the baby has an illness or maybe mum and dad need familial help otherwise? Having been there and not had help, flying to Adelaide isn’t the same as having someone 30 mins away.
  20. 12ft.io is your friend for Domainfax and sometimes that paper for Capital C Capital brigands, the AFR.
  21. I’m try to be positive about where we are! Pick 4 or 5!!
  22. We could end up with pick 4/5 depending how things go
  23. There’s always cycling up the Izoard or Ventoux as a very good swap
  24. Sportsbet / nice odds on us missing the 8 a month or so ago
