Stiff Arm

Absolutely you can still 'let's go to the footy', I did that spontaneously with friends last year, you just got to go through the online process. I found it worked if you are patient, so did plenty of friends If you mean 'let's go and buy a paper ticket with cash at the gate', that went out the window 15 years ago

Flower, Jakovich and Jurrah The 3 footballers I remember who were good enough to make me wanna go to games rain, hail or shine Apologies to the Wiz and Lyon

Maybe a beer or 2 at the Duke before, then screaming from lev 2 Northern stand. If you see a guy getting dragged out by security at half time it'll be me and we'll be 5 goals down. But of course, that won't happen 😉

Ok, that make sense. Thanks Beardy. Interesting, if there's an issue and I need to contact the club to sort out, 24 hours before first bounce on Sat night doesn't fill me with confidence that it will be fixed

Quick question On the mfc app My Membership section when I click view barcode on My Ticket it comes up with a grey screen. Anyone know why there's no barcode for the game on Sat night? TIA

Caro's tipping Richmond to be 2nd knowing the outrage her bias will cause. 100% clickbait strategy Deep down she knows they'll be struggling to make the 8

I used to know someone connected with the Bulldogs FD who told me that Schache was the least competitive AFL footballer he had seen. Sounds harsh, hope he's proven wrong at a 3rd club

Is Goodwin the right guy = what have the Roman's ever done for us

The bottom of Lake Eildon

Huh? So if either has a quiet game R1 or doesn't play R1 that's it for them??? Maybe in 1970s, don't think that's how it works now

Like a dog with a bone, that Kane Should spend more time talking about how PA lost Amon, Wingard and especially Silk

He's nuts!

For this match? It's only preseason? I thought I read JVR might have a hammy issue?

They can walk to Tulla airport from their base!

Or.... the longer he waits, especially if he had a great start to the year, the higher his price might be. If he was offered 4 x $500k at the end of last year, he might kick 30 goals by mid year and then be asking MFC for 5 x $650k. Just guessing, of course

Yes, conjecture it is! 🤣

AND... the no 3 pick who helped us win a GF then turned into 2 x 1st rounders and a 2nd rounder, and we also gained a 2 x AA replacement ruck for about the same as LJ would've been paid.... Holey moley!

We could launder the players jumpers through them. Oh, ok... wrong laundry. Sorry.

Quick, what's the lotto numbers for this weekend?

Vapes. Let's get the whole club on vapes. They're legal, right???

So you're claiming Richo said that "Kossie deserves 650-700k" and that "May, Lever and Gawn are on north of that" in 2024? And he said we may not be able to re-sign Kossie because of the Tracc, Clarrie and Gus deals??? Wow, if true he should be sacked immediately

Mate, everything you've written here is conjecture. It's not opinion, its not fact, it's complete guesswork. Perhaps Max or Lever are on heavily front loaded contracts, so their amounts for 2023/24/25 could be smaller than before. Maybe Gus took less than we think to stay with his premiership mates. Any number of possibilities could be true, but I reckon if Kossie wants to stay the club will find a way to do it.

I so hope that doesn't result in more BT and his insufferable ilk. That's enough to make me brick the TV

Whilst their experience and feelings are valid, the decision for limited legalization should be made using the advice of medical professionals backed up by data. It's the same reason that jail terms are not not set by victims of crime. If we replace that phrase 'the war on drugs' (good band, btw) with 'harm minimisation', we might make some progress

Interesting that we don't look twice at people having a few social drinks, smoking a dart or popping a couple of painkillers yet recreational use of drugs is still a divisive topic. We'd be better off having a balanced and reasonable conversation at state and federal govt level (which is unlikely) about the pros and cons of decriminalization and how it could be implemented in a controlled, transparent and medically supervised way. Presumably one of the reasons that that ciggies and alcohol are taxed heavily is because of the high cost to society caused by their damage. Most hospitals would be half empty if there was no alcohol or tobacco in society. My understanding is that in countries where coke, heroin, meth etc are legal, their sales are controlled and monitored by govt, and they are available through pharmacies, not supermarkets, corner stores or the like. It's available, but more open and less attractive to do. Personally I'd like to see vapes heavily restricted in Australia. Packaging and flavors aimed at young people, particularly teens. In my burb there's a shop specialising in confectionery and energy drinks that also sells vapes, full of teens after school. This will be a medical time bomb in the years to come. But that's a side topic
