thirty-one

I am so glad I wasn't able to get to the game, I'd have wet myself laughing at the banner. Fingers crossed for Culley, hope it's not as bad as it looked.

Will do! Also we sat behind the Demon Army this time as we could get seats there. One day I might use my reserved seat but I can't sit with my sister there.

I'm guessing this is before Fritta went to see his brother play for Coldstream. My brother in law did some umpiring for the seconds game and then got to earbash Fritta for a while. He told Fritta he'd kick three.

Lingers was also running the back line, more so than Lever.

The MCC members were going off with every goal. They were swinging their scarves around and around with the jig. It looked fabulous.

Go you freaking little beauties! Came down for the game, thought we were done, especially with kicking straight to them in the backline in the last few but yes! This was with a jumping up and down double fist pump!

I was sorta surprised to see three Suns fans sitting a few rows back from a bunch of Melbourne reserved seats (including my seat that I'm not using cos I can't sit with my sister there....). But if it is a big game, I'll be using my reserved seat and she'll sit in the MCC members across the aisle from me 😆 There were a handful sitting in front of us in the GA seats. Not many. A couple a few rows behind us. It is a long way from the Gold Coast....

It was fabulous! I'd been told the games are horribly noisy and too much music and wow, I really had fun! I thought the goal music was stupid before I went, now I can appreciate that at least some of the players like a good singalong...

At least I can sing along to that one!

GO YOU LITTLE BEAUTIES! My first game in at least 15 years. My hands and my voice are shot. 😂😈

So wish I could be there in person but life as a farmer turns out to take more than I expected. All the best to TMax and carn Dees, I'll be there in spirit.

I gather others can see Twitter posts there but I only get a list of numbers after the first one, like another member.

I need to find ten friends now, or one friend ten times, or a couple of friends five times. Plus I've got a reserved seat membership already. Go Dees!

Thanks for the report, Ghostie. I'm having trouble finding training times. Not that they will line up with when I'm in Melbs but hey.

Happy day of cake, Ghostie! I've not watched today's game, hope your wishes came true!

I'm a member. Not sure why I'm not getting emails suddenly. I've had one since the the second week of Feb.

I found out about the event exactly one hour before it started. No emails about it. Didn't see it mentioned in the socials. No hope of making it. Even if I'd found out about it the day before, I couldn't've made it. And I was even in Melbourne at the time.

Dang. I wish they would stop changing the times, I'm down in Melbourne at the moment. Was looking forward to going to training tomorrow.

LOL, okay then! Apart from having a hearty appetite, how is Shane?

Dang, I could've eaten a bunch of that, even the dessert! Didn't even know this event was taking place. Life goals for next year I guess.

Running around flapping his wings, making the others copy him 😂

Wishing Maysie the best in his retirement and thanks for everything he's given the club. I've no idea how hard it has been for him to come up again after some of the injuries he's had but he's a tough 'un. Edited to add that I'm feeling a bit gutted with the news even though I expected it.

There's certain movements and manipulations that can determine what is wrong with a knee. I saw a physio 30 years ago and he checked out my knees after I subluxed a kneecap. He thought I'd done my ACL until he checked the other knee and it did the exact same thing. If I remember correctly, he pulled my lower leg forward whilst holding my thigh still. If things move further than they should, or don't move when they should, there's a problem. (Or you are hypermobile, like me.) The scans confirm things. Also ACLs often bleed, which fills the inside of the knee with blood and stiffens/supports it, so the above tests might not be as accurate as they could be.

Have you washed it yet?
