As a young fella (back then) I remember rushing home so my family could sit in front of the tv and watch the replay

The best bit is when Choko talks about how Collingwood lost players because they promised too much salary to everyone.

I'd do it on merit. In South Australia the CHO told them to duck and cover if a football comes into the crowd. They also shut the state down because of a pizza box on her advise. In Victoria we have Socialist Sutton who loves the limelight as much as a lockdown. In NSW they have a CHO who seems to understand risk and gives advise accordingly. They are doing the heavy lifting in regards to bringing expats back into the country and don't have lockdowns like us. This new evil strain apparently came from NSW but they are not in lockdown.

What about free kicks not paid? Like for example a deliberate out of bounds with seconds to go in a match right next to the goals?

The old Demonland for me was arguing about a merger with Hawthorn. That irrelevant club is sitting near the bottom and tanking. The Dees are on top and premiership favourite. Perhaps we should have taken them over.

First world problems. I can't even plan a trip to the local pub.

I don't bother if I'm not near anyone outdoors. If I see someone coming I put one on. I'm in regional Vic with no cases here during any of the 4 lockdowns. When I go to a cafe or restaurant I can sit indoors without a mask. If I get caught outdoors with no mask I can get arrested. It makes no sense. All the transmissions overwhelmingly occur indoors.

What Noah's Arc?

It's funny (sad) how all the states get a cheif health officer (unelected) that gives the "health advise" the government want.

Australia has a moat around it. NSW take the lion share of overseas travellers in quarantine. They don't keep going into lockdown. The Australian moat modelling show that every other state has been locked down for 6 days on average.

Oliver is by far the most improved player. We talk about selflessness and I am not saying he was selfish but he is selfless now. When a game is in doubt he just goes into beast mode. You know he is going to start dragging us up. Lots of others have improved but from a much lower base. Oliver has improved from already being our best player. That is what champions do.

If we win the flag we better not sack Goodwin. I don't want to be cursed for another 50 years.

I hope it's of 1964 vintage

I'd rather go out with my mates and punt than be locked down all the time.

I read on another post that Carlton is the only team to win wooden spoons in both the aflw and the men's in the same year. We might do the opposite this year because of people like Daisy. I'm calling Daisy Pearce medal for the AFLW grand final best on ground. Just like the Norm Smith a Melbourne great. When the women's football league got announced Daisy said she wouldn't play unless it was for Melbourne. Norm Smith famously got sacked and said "I am Melbourne" There are similarities.

Does anyone know whos home game the Collingwood v Melbourne game was last year? It normally swaps but not sure on this one.

I think Dan Andrews might be back in 4 2 6

I'm living in a small coastal town at the moment that has had no cases of Covid. More people are wearing MND beanies than masks when walking along the beach in open air. No positive lingers t-shirts spotted yet though. I'm hoping that big freeze 7 doesn't get overtaken by lock down 4.

Jacko can play all over the ground. Jacko can take a contested mark. Jacko isn't in the prime of his career and floundering. I hope Weid can do what T Mac, Hunt and ANB have done. Nothing would make me happier but I am not holding my breath. Trade him to Collingwood and let them pay his salary

It speaks volumes of Neil Daniher that previous players will do anything for him. I can't wait for Farmer to go down the slide. Surely dressed as a wizard. I don't care where it is as long as it goes ahead

I can't remember tomohawk or Jack rewoilt being incapable of holding a mark. They have come from and built premiership winning sides. Petty can mark it and kick straight. I'm sick of the idea Weid is still developing or lacks confidence. Nathan Jones is still developing but it gets to a point in your career when you need to bring something. Not fluke a few marks in a final when everyone else fell over like Bradbury won gold

I've heard NSW. Would prefer @binman idea

10-1* asterisk on the 1. Wasn't long ago craft day was the best day of the year to be a Melbourne supporter

Don't forget the year the AFL allowed the umpires to wear pink and our pink v shaped jumper for women's breast cancer round. Massive clash then. The ABC has lost its soul in reporting news accurately and is much more concerned about identity politics. Did Covid mistakenly come out of a Wuhan lab was a massive story for the last 12 months. The ABC ignored it and poked fun on it in their Media Watch segment. Now Joe Biden has called an inquiry they are pretending it is knew news.

The umpiring has only robbed us of the longest streak in our history
