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

Understatement we’ve had 250mm down Bangalow way.

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!

Same thinking. Now that is a trade I can get behind

I’m not complaining about the crowds at all, nor have I wrung my hands at Houston’s apparent about-face, nor ANB leaving, nor CP5s situation. In any case, it’s an observation of the near calamitous decline in living standards for a non trivial portion of the population and discretionary spending decisions.

Let’s be real here The economy is down the drain - 2/3 of people doing it tough, living standards down the drain. Kids’ (or your own), weekend sport, late night games (home late), cold weather. Lots of things on people’s minds. If going to watch fairly uninspiring football given the above isn’t at the to of peoples’ list, they can hardly be blamed.

This has at least enlivened the last few weeks of the year and the period leading into the draft! Rumour! *low voice* Intrigue! Catastrophes! *low voice* Mealy-Mouthed Machiavallian Media Malcontents Maliciously Manufacturing More Melbourne Misery Draft Excitement! * deep voice * More Melbourne Chaos

If it’s his mandate I have some serious questions for the coach.

The article:https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/behind-melbourne-s-fall-back-into-the-abyss-20240814-p5k2de.html 12ft.io is your friend. Paywalled on Firefox/iOS, not paywalled on Firefox/desktop. Firefox reader may help. An interesting article. I don’t begrudge Christian time in Noosa. He has a very serious incident. The comparison with Melksham is inapt in my view. This is a very, very, messy affair now. We have blown multiple shots at the flag and it’s difficult not to feel there’s something deeply amiss at present.

Sure It’s just one doesn’t want one to think one greedy The Qantas Club International Lounge staff already know that due to my proclivity for Chivas and coke (!) but I’ve got a reputation here to maintain. Sort of.

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!

Jeez people are losing the plot Kids being slaughtered everywhere and forum posts are the things causing existential grief

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

Dear me

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.

Sticking $$ on an Oliver brownlow for 2025 right now

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.

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

This. Find the leaker and sack them

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.

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.
