In fairness.. we've had a number of false starts.

I get it, but there's no need to bang on about it over multiple posts as if to say this one is going to be another disaster that comes to nothing.

It might, it might not, but let's at least give the team that has put the club into one of the best states I've ever seen it in a chance, before we all start with the MFCSS.

I think you missed Mick Stinear while accidentally doubling up on Selwyn.
 

Also not quite sure why Tim Lamb wasn't uploaded to our Youtube channel, but you can find his video here.

We have KFC buffets over here!? WHERE?

I’m of the opinion that the real season begins in September.

Sure and what do the stats say gives you the best chance going into finals? Finishing top 4. As we have done. 3 years running.

last year we were advised that the combined sales proceeds would go into the FF

Where was that?

All I can find is the following -
"Having explored all options it was clear that the best outcome for Melbourne’s long-term financial viability was to sell the Bentleigh Club. The proceeds of the sale will allow the club to establish a future fund"

and then in the 2022 AGM notice -
"In addition, we finalised the Bentleigh Club sale, the proceeds of which will be invested via our Future Fund"

As far as I can tell that is exactly what was done?

you are restricted to one question per member

Sounds fair and reasonable, no?

We have not finished in the top 4 this year or last.

Strange. Every ladder I look at says we did.

Just now, Lucifers Hero said:

and I reckon that is most unlikely.

Yeah. I didn't realise the percentage gap was quite so large. I knew we were comfortably ahead, but not 100s of points per game over two games ahead :D

Just now, rpfc said:

The Pies would have to win by 100s points both game. 

Ha! Is it that much? I wasn't too sure, just knew it was a mathematical chance.

Just now, Lucifers Hero said:

With the Saints win finish top of the McClelland ladder and get the $1million!!

But we don't.

We can drop next week, Collingwood win both of their last two games and we're tied on points.

Not sure what they'd need to close the percentage up, but that's the only way we'd lose it.

Just now, brendan said:

27 points welcome to MFC 1million dollars 

Not quite, but oh so close.

If I'm not mistaken, saints winning all but guarantees us to take out the McClelland trophy.

If the Saints win then Brisbane can't catch us no matter what. Collingwood would need to win both of their next two games and have us lose next week to tie us up on points at which point I think it comes down to percentage, which we're well ahead on.

...I think.

playing in the NT this year cost us 2nd Spot. 

I forgot that to finish second on the ladder you must win at the NT.

I couldn't have been the 4 point loss to Port? The loss to Essendon in Adelaide? 7 points to Freo at the G? 2 goals to the Cats? 4 points to the Blues?

Nope. It was specifically the NT game. We'll ignore the fact that we won 5 on the trot following it. It's the NT game and the travel.

I for one quite like the game and what the club does around it. I'd be disappointed if they stopped.

Not too shabby considering there’s only a small group of the DA who made the trip. ❤️💙

Wish I could be there. I'm about 4 hours north and was planning to come down for the day but decided to get sick instead.

I am going to the game on Saturday and taking a sign which reads “I’m Just Here To Boo Bruz”.

Oh please do. The bigger the better!

I'd honestly be all for it, assuming he'd vibe with the rest of the squad. Shame it's a fake account.

How did Gulden not get the 3!!!

Umpires are useless at everything they do. It's the only explanation.

I can handle Bont or Gulden. I'll feel that Trac was shafted a little bit, but I'll take it.

4 way tie would make me laugh.

How does Trac not poll vs North?!!

I honestly don't understand how he didn't get a single vote.

So how are those Board appointments going? Some being sued for defamation, some not? Internecine squabbles - hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal costs. Lost a case in the Supreme Court. Lost a costs request in Perth? The Club belongs to its members - let them choose the Board rather than the Putinesque way it is done at the moment.

@Demonland can we get a broken record reaction emoji?

GWS v Brisbane in the GF at the G would be funny for mine

I want to see it. I really, truly do.

Well there's a big big sound....
