How many times have we heard people complain 7.50 is a late starting time?

Our forward line has been much more potent this season than season 6. It was Adelaide's defence that beat us twice last season, including the grand final. We had 9 goal kickers last week, so our forward depth is our strength, particularly with Hore playing her best footy at the moment, and Harris continuing to be Harris. Banners is just growing stronger each week, for her youth she's scary to oppositions. If we're able to counter their backline we're okay. I also think the key to their attack is Ash Woodleigh (hurts me to say that, given she used to be a Demon). With Gillard, Birch, Heath playing at their peak, and the inclusion last week of Gay, we need to minimise her impact. Our midfield is incredibly strong - Paxman, Purcell, Mithen, Hanks, L Pearce are dominant forces. Plus I'm loving the impact Mackin has made on the team, she's a beast. Zanker and Lampard for some annoying reason tend to go unnoticed by media commentators, I reckon Zanker was one of the best on ground last week. But hey, if their understatement means the opposition don't consider their impact, that's their loss, because they both have the ability to impact the game. I think we're okay :)

IKON is not in Adelaide. We've had some good wins at IKON, I don't think it's a disadvantage for us to play there.

One I heard about 30 years ago: What's the difference between a dead pig in the middle of the road and a dead Collingwood supporter in the middle of the road? The skid marks in front of the pig.

A bit hard, Smith was the medical sub and wasn't used.

Exactly right, apparently the team weren't told what was needed to get the top spot, so she wouldn't have known.

I wouldn't say we had an easy draw this year, we've had one of the more difficult draws this year, certainly easier than Brisbane.

I think a few have the potential to have breakouts. To me the ones that come to mind are: Kade Chandler Jacob Van Rooyen Disco Turner Harry Petty Tom Sparrow

I did notice it, and I found it disgraceful. Unfortunately there are gutless creeps in all supporter bases from different clubs. Aside from having an MFC logo for their profile picture, I'm not sure what action could be taken, aside from Magda reporting it if she chooses to do so. Going by their Twitter posts, this person is by and large a massive [censored] in lots of ways, it seems.

You're ace!!

Just bringing your attention to the file not working :)

You don't get scores per se in VCE, it's a ranking (confusing considering they call it a "study score"). If you are able to show in your outcomes that you know the content and can demonstrate the skills, you get a satisfactory outcome of an individual are of study. For example if you get an ATAR of 85, it means you performed better than 85% of the state. A semester may have up to four areas of study - if you fail one you fail the semester - in Year 12 that means the whole year (you have to achieve a satisfactory for all areas of study to pass the subject.) You only get your VCE if you can pass 16 units across the two years. A unit is semester long, with Unit 3 (semester 1 in Year 12) being the rerequisite for Unit 4 (semester 2 in Year 12). You can go unscored which means you still get your VCE, you just don't get an ATAR.

I was there, I flew up for the game (for Pride Round). Only a handful of us flew up, but we had a good number of Qld Demon Army members join us.

Not true. I've failed VCE students over the years. This year I'm failing 2.

Last two days were the turning point for me. Things were looking pretty grim with Hunt, Bedford, Weiderman all leaving, along with the [censored] deal we got for Jackson. But the last two days Melbourne pulled the rabbit out of the metaphorical hat. Brodie Grundy's response was so much more humble and gracious than Jackson's, and I feel Brodie will be the perfect fit culturally at the club. Hunter could be fabulous in the Wingers Club if we can keep him on the straight and narrow, and while I don't know much about Josh Schache, I have an open mind. Great work, Jason and team!

Maddie Gay and Loz Pearce both ruled out for Saturday

Hate to be a smartarsey pedantic, but yeh, we have :) We actually lost 14 between 1905 and 1951 http://demonwiki.org/Queens+Birthday

Does your group represent all 66,000 members of MFC?

And I bet it would be exempt from fringe benefits tax

I don't know. I'd like to think there would be a respectful reference to the Queen. The only conversation I've had with DA regarding the Queen was at 4.30 this morning when I was told "don't go to the MCG, they've cancelled the live cross on Sunrise".

Imagine being 74 and the only way you can get your first job is through the death of your mother.....

Yes, I would say that a large percentage of MCC members barrack for Melbourne, but I don't think it goes the other way. Most Melbourne supporters are not members of MCC

Putting words in my mouth there.

Just for your reference - This was from the Redlegs members area, not MCC. The place was jumping. I'm right next to the camera, screaming like a mad woman, btw. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxcXAZ_MW4LzbHQ_khGWD2h2DnzMnChKpF

Yeh, well, as it turned out the Sunrise cross was cancelled this morning for obvious reasons, I found that out at about 4 am when I woke up to get to the G. But thanks for the chat last night 💕
