Next Milestone Tracker
Apparently he's available for selection this week, which should be interesting given how hot Windsor has started!

The Footy with Broden Kelly - Hester & Ben Brown
Broden and Tom often make mistakes and joke about how the point of the podcast is their uninformed and imperfect reflections on footy. Marnie (who is now a regular) is a sports journalist and more facts focused. The podcast is pretty light hearted and enjoyable, without being off-puttingly blokes and pointless. One of my top 3 regular podcasts (alongside Demonland and Footy Time)!

2024 Injury List
I wouldn't be surprised if he was more vulnerable to pain in his left (?) hand after that Geelong kicking incident in 2022 (?). He ended up having off season surgery on it from memory after the initial treatment in the final rounds of the season (back in ye good ol' days where he missed his first game ever for injury after a record run of games!)

Your Least Favourite AFL Team (Poll)
For a long time, I hated St Kilda the most because of some people I had the displeasure of knowing. These days, it's mainly Collingwood (for the many reasons expounded by people above) and Carlton that draw my ire. A small corner of me hates Richmond due to one of their fans as well, but that's trivial.

TICKETING: 2024 Opening Round
The reciprocal tickets are pretty expensive for the privilege - think it was close to $80 last year when I looked into it? The public tickets are less dear ($45?) and give access to the rest of the stadium, try to sit near bays 2 and 3 which is where the Demon Army is! Or see WCW's post below to sit with us 😁

There's a picture of Yze in his playing days and Noah at training today on the MFC instagram. Noah looks more buff than Adem at that age!

Could we please move the training ground discourse to the training ground thread?

Salem’s Long Journey Back
On the topic of peroxide, in 2022 I was uhm-ing and ah-ing over whether to dye my hair blonde. Right before finals, Salo went back to blonde and that was the clincher for me! Waiting for us to be in at least a semi-final to temporarily dye my blonde hair red and blue one of these days...

PODCAST: 2023 Season Review
I've missed the podcast! Hope you've enjoyed the well earned break and will continue to do so over the holiday period! We've seen our recruitment aim to bring in some more speed (eg with our draftees, Windsor, Kolt, Brown) and foot skills / goal sense (eg with our trades, Billings, McAdam). Do you think this will be reflected in our game plan (to become faster moving / enable some riskier conversions in our F50)? Or is this to supplement our team and assist with executing our current game plan (from 2023 later half of the season, not the 2023 preseason or earlier iterations in 2021 / 2022) better?

How did you become a Demon?
My maternal grandma arrived in Perth from England and decided on the Dees because they were winning. 7 or so years later, she moved to Melbourne and became one of the first women members of the MFC! Growing up, my siblings and I learnt it was best to avoid mum after a bad loss because she'd be so grumpy. As I've gotten older (and we've become more successful), I've adopted that grumpiness as my own. We're the most superstitious about games in the family (and accidentally missed the Bamg Bang Bang of 2021 because we skipped the final 3 mins of that quarter to go pack the dishwasher / toilet the dogs... reinforcement that us watching was the issue). Dad's a Dee supporter too - but I don't know how that came about given everyone else in his family follows Carlton. As a kid, I used to think the "keep your eyes on the red and the blues" in our song referred to Carlton being our second team because of this haha

Training Ground?
Nope, Toorak and Malvern are the federal seat of Higgins and for the first time in its history the seat went to Labour in the 2022 election. There's been a growing push against the Liberals for the past 6 or so years in Higgins which came to fruition. The electorates next door, like Kooyong, voted Teal. Macnamara (which covers Caulfield) is also a Labour seat.

Certainly, but the audio assault on top of the visual assault doesn't make for a pleasant Sunday afternoon :')

AFLW: SF vs Geelong
These commentators are really delighting in our struggles. They keep on saying that incorrect fact repeatedly, even lamenting that it could have been 8 quarters if not for Gay. Could someone please go stuff a sock in them??
