The Demons next 300+ game players?
Charlie won’t wear out his kicking leg. But as long as he keeps finding a teammate inside 50, that’s fine by me.

The Demons next 300+ game players?
I think we’d all love that. But first we have to keep him. Wouldn’t it be great if he signed a contract similar to Trac’s?!

Robbo’s Top 50 2021
So in Robbo’s view, the sixth best player won the Brownlow and there are three Demons in front of him (plus one ineligible).

Dwayne's Most Watchable in 2022
Agree. (Except that it’s a shoo-in. As in ‘‘shoo… shoo… get in there’’) Sorry, i couldn’t help myself. I see this all the time and it drives me crazy.

Premiership DVD and victory pack
Yes, but only on Betamax.

How far off were we from a perfect 2021?
Can’t say I fully understand what “loading” is. Can anyone explain it further, please?

Big Ben Brown’s Wild Ride
I think big Benny already has two records at Melbourne. Most games (13) and most goals (25) in jumper #50.

Roosy Talks about the Grand Final
I downloaded the app but then was totally confused about what to do. Ended up deleting the app. It’s harder for us old folk.

AFL Memberships
I just thought a professional market research firm could see the flawed methodology. Maybe I went wrong when I thought “professional”. 😀

Expected better from Roy Morgan.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Good one. I started out wanting to speak fluent French. Then it slipped to making do. I thought of teaching 70 million French people to speak English but gave that up too. Now like you, I just speak English with a French accent.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Some of you know I’ve had a number of health issues to deal with over the last couple of years. I saw my heart specialist today and all is good. We were speaking French (as best I can) and I could swear he said “your heart beats true”.

Most Improved Player
Fritter by a mile.

Closest to the mark...2022 membership total
Does the club offer a special deal to those MCC members? Or do they have to pay the same as everyone else?
-
Closest to the mark...2022 membership total
Somewhere between 1 and 74,000. I’m certain of 1 because I’ve already signed up.

Is Gawn the best player we have ever had?
He’s definitely one of them. But he might soon be behind Petracca, who has many more years to contribute. (With respect to Fritter, I just wish Trac wore the #31.)

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
What a week! I got the all clear from my kidney doctor… kidney function back and dialysis no longer a threat. I sold our house for a profit, which is unheard of in rural France. And, if you hadn’t already heard, MY TEAM WON THE PREMIERSHIP!

When will Melbourne break these embarrassing records?
Agree!

Vale Greg Parke
Remember him fondly in his 26. In fact, he holds our record for games in that number. RIP Greg.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
We won the Premiership after missing the final the previous year. Surely that’s rare. Does anyone know when that last happened?

GAMEDAY: Grand Final vs Western Bulldogs
Ok, you got me. When I go to the local bar, i wear this Tee shirt and work my way across. (It’s how I get my five fruit and veg per day.) But they don’t have the footy today.

GAMEDAY: Grand Final vs Western Bulldogs
Thé game starts at 11:15 am for me. I’ve never developed a taste for morning alcohol but I’ll start at half time. Here’s the plan… If we’re well in front at half time I’ll have a rosé or three. If it’s very close, I’ll go for white. And if we’re in trouble, red. If we’re so far behind we can’t win it, I’ll opt for Spirytus Vodka.

International Demons
Proving harder than I thought… In 1962, French President Charles de Gaulle asked, "How can you govern a country which has two hundred and forty-six varieties of cheese?" There is immense diversity within each variety of cheese, leading some to claim closer to anywhere between 1,000 to 1,600 distinct types of French cheese. I’m going to need a bigger cheese board.
