Seen several AA teams without him. Thought it was bizarre but wasn't sure if it was my bias

Raise Hell > Give 'em Hell. Bring this back

I am trying to find it on an old PC but I took a screenshot once of an interaction with Petracca on social media where he pretty much acknowledged the struggle and said they were trying to change things and to stay with us. If we do have success over the next few years I will print this off and get him to sign it aha. I felt his interview. For years when people ask who you go for and you say Melbourne you'd always get a a "oh i'm sorry" type response. Hopefully he and his band of brothers will be the ones to squash this.

I know it's Monday morning but I shamefully got a calculator out for this too aha.

Negative 20

Soccer still loves the 'pivot', single-pivot (one dm) or a double-pivot (two deep midfielders) etc. Guess the way AFL is now played may mean 'pivot' does not return to the commentator's Lexicon/Vocabulary

Just looked over all the nominations we've received. To receive 4 in a season where we're up top is a a great nod to both the playing group, coaching and other backroom staff. Some real hit and miss MFC careers in this list Nominations 2021 – Luke Jackson(2), James Jordon, Trent Rivers, Jake Bowey 2021 – Luke Jackson, Kysaiah Pickett 2019 – NIL 2018 – NIL 2017 – NIL 2016 – Clayton Oliver, James Harmes, Christian Petracca, Oscar McDonald 2015 – Jesse Hogan*, Angus Brayshaw 2014 – NIL 2013 – Jack Viney 2012 – Tom McDonald, Sam Blease (2) 2011 – Jordan Gysberts(2), Sam Blease 2010 – Jack Trengove, Tom Scully, Jordan Gysberts 2009 – Jack Grimes, Liam Jurrah 2008 – Austin Wonaeamirri, Colin Garland, Cale Morton 2007 – Ricky Petterd, Nathan Jones (2) 2006 – Clint Bartram, Matthew Bate, Nathan Jones 2005 – Brock McLean, Colin Sylvia 2004 – Jared Rivers 2003 – NIL 2002 – Steven Armstrong 2001 – NIL 2000 – Cameron Bruce, Matthew Whelan, Brad Green 1999 – Troy Longmuir 1998 – Travis Johnstone, Russell Robertson 1997 – Shane Woewodin 1996 – Adem Yze, Jeff Farmer 1995 – NIL 1994 – NIL 1993 – David Neitz, Darren Kowal

I also have 2 GUS Cups which I drink out of, Needs to be retained for this reason as well.

The Article in the OP says the following; Throughout 2020 and 2021, games have been played in the right spirit, with players understanding the more casual nature of the contests compared to full-on VFL matches. There has also been considerably less video footage of games, increasing the responsibility on players to avoid committing reportable offences. The nature of this non-sanctioned match means all incidents fall outside Match Review Officer Michael Christian’s remit. Instead, stand-in footy operations manager Andrew Dillon and his team will deal with it. Daw was not immediately cited for his strike on Cox, though the AFL became aware of it on Tuesday. If the AFL uses the MRO’s grading system, the Demons rookie – who signed in March with the club – could cop a multi-week suspension.

Who gets the $ from tickets sales of the finals? Imagine it's the AFL so no wonder they want crowds.

Soccer has some guidelines for sizes; but according to the rules; Length (touchline): minimum 90 m (100 yds) - maximum 120 m (130 yds) Length (goal line): minimum 45 m (50 yds) - maximum 90 m (100 yds) But for International matches Length (touchline): minimum 100 m (110 yds) - maximum 110 m (120 yds) Length (goal line): minimum 64 m (70 yds) - maximum 75 m (80 yds)

#2 for me depends on the loss itself, ie losing a Prelim by 1 point may be worse than losing a GF by 10+ goals. Leaves more of a "what if" feel to it

Yeh suddenly a few hundred outlay could turn to few thousand. Not even sure I could get away due to work commitments either. either way go Dees

Is having to quarantine for 1-2 weeks considered a restriction impeding my ability to attend a GF?

but how would Cerra go on the podcast?

Can't remember specifics, but recall some poster in a thread said the Dees were interested in bringing him in

There have been Pat Lipinski rumors posted here before. Think we should sign that Weideman bloke as well.

Regardless of the result - probably cry

Yep i'm in the 30-39 bracket, even if i went AZ today I wouldn't be fully vaccinated until after the GF. If they did implement a fully-vaccinated policy at least that would reward the older dees fans that have been through more hell than some younger generations aha.

Back to watching games on Zoom with friends, what a shame. That being said, not sure how much fun i would be to be around if we do make the big dance.

Was a strange game, some players did have quiet periods and Melk didn't light it up - no debates there. Just think it is worth giving him one last go but might depend on how Bulldogs/Port go, maybe a late change, the old Chris Scott treatment

This is the part of the issue this week. I'd like to see Melky having another week but understand if he's not included. Tough week for the selectors.

I meant I have the GF Guarantee, but if its in WA and we make it, highly doubt I'll be able to go for various reasons.

Can I roll my GF guarantee over until next year? aha

Surprised there is no Tasmanian team in the A-League, would have been a good move whilst the AFL dillydally. At least the people of Tasmania are getting an NBL team, despite it having a horrible name. "Gillon McLachlan: "The Suns are not moving from the Gold Coast, and that's definitive." So if we're sticking to 18 teams a relocation looks inevitable, at least we're performing at the right time. You'd assume that we would be safe with our history anyway but who knows. Imagine if they try merged us with St Kilda in the future, Saints on one shoulder, Demon on another aha.
