  1. No, no it’s Charlie Spargo in disguise!
  2. Of course the biggest joke of all: How many premierships have Collingwood won in the last 64 years? (answer 2)! How many premierships have Melbourne won in the same period? (answer4)!
  3. Rites of Passage by William Golding. Disturbing, but worth reading!
  4. And here was I thinking the whole trade period was as exciting as watching a yacht race on a rainy day, but along come the last few pages of this thread to liven things up. Thank you all for a great laugh!
  5. I’d suggest people use a VPN like ExpressVPN which is expensive but does seem to work - my friend in Bali uses it (and the people at ExpressVPN are very helpful if you have problems). There are a couple of others which I believe will also work: Surfshark and Nord but I’ve not used them.
  6. In my downloaded copy of todays Age, page 37 right under votes for the last round. States: Clayton Oliver (Melbourne) - winner 125. He also got 9 votes for Friday nights game! Hope that helps.
  7. Clayton Oliver Age newspaper player of the year 2022👍Christian Petracca came third!
  8. Tom McDonald: Batman Jake Bowey: Robin
  9. 6: Oliver 5: Gawn 4: Petracca 3: Brayshaw 2: Viney 1: Salem
  10. 6: Pickett 5: Petracca 4: Langdon 3: Jordon 2: Viney 1: Salem
  11. Does Goodwin pick the team himself? Just asking!
  12. I don’t like the indigenous round jumper, far too busy! However if they wear it in Alice Springs it certainly won’t harm our relationship with the indigenous population and that can’t be bad for the club. And I notice that it’s been quite cold up there in recent days, getting down to -2 overnight and just a degree or two warmer than Melbourne during the day so at least they shouldn’t suffer from heat stroke!
  13. 6: Oliver 5: Petracca 4: Langdon 3: Brayshaw 2: Viney 1: May
  14. 6: Brayshaw 5: Viney 4: Oliver 3: Petty 2: Jordon 1: Petracca And 👍 to Salem and Hibberd
  15. Thanks for that info Spirit! I’ve got my seat booked for Mondays game and shall attend much to the annoyance of my wife. As I’m a member of the over 60’s demographic the thought of getting Covid is never far from my thoughts. However I’ll wear a mask and stay clear of all bars. (And I’ll yell and scream from behind my mask in a gentlemanly MCC way)!
  16. I didn’t go to the game! Raw, freezing conditions here in the Macedon Ranges and an up to 2 hour car trip to the ground then the trip home in the dark: getting home after midnight - no way! I’ve been a passionate Melbourne supporter for more years than I’d like to confess, but Saturday night football in this kind of weather is best viewed (for me) at home. I’ll see you all at the G next week👍.
  17. I was sitting on level 2 MCC yesterday and there were quite a few children in Melbourne attire nearby, made me feel quite good! However the 4.35 pm start on a Saturday afternoon was not great and I know a few supporters who gave up on the idea of attending and sat home by the fire with drink in hand and watched on Kayo! Bring back Saturday arvo around 2.00pm and see attendances increase.
  18. I suppose Viney was OK and Oliver but too many were just not good enough.
  19. 6: Oliver 5: Lever 4: Spargo 3: McDonald 2: May 1: Sparrow
  20. 6: Pickett 5: Viney 4: Brayshaw 3: McDonald 2: Jordon 1: Jackson
  21. 6: Brayshaw 5: Langdon 4: Oliver 3: May 2: Brown 1: Pickett And well done Harmes, Hunt, McDonald.
  22. He’s certainly had an up and down career but 200 games (so far) and a premiership medal are not to be sneezed at. But I do wish he’d smile a little more😄!
  23. 6: Gawn 5: Oliver 4: Bowey 3: Petracca 2: Viney 1: Ben Brown And with a nod to Hunt, Jordon and Brayshaw.
  24. Behinds, behinds, behinds, a real worry! One day we are going to be beaten by a team scoring 5 goals: 0 behinds to our 0 goals: 29 behinds (or similar).
