His son Stephen also played for Melbourne and later served on the Board.

I'll say it again and, this time, perhaps move your lips and read slowly in an effort to understand. I'm talking about the possibility of the recent re-opening being jeopardised by people not observing the COVID compliance practices and the anticipated kneejerk response to blame the Government if such slackness were to cause a setback in our progress towards something approaching normality.

George's nickname has to be Gog, which I guess makes Jess's nickname Magog.

You've completely missed the point in your rush to bash anything to do with Labor. What I'm saying is that people will always look for somebody else to blame when their lives are impacted even if it is their own selfish and thoughtless behaviour that caused those problems. In this instance, that behaviour is the loose compliance by business operators that BDA has observed. This isn't about politics or which party is in power.

I know where you're coming from, but it would mean that a "penalty" might be no more than, say, five metres if the offence occurs 55m from goal. This is clearly no punishment at all for flouting the rule.

It's not a matter of one or the other. I would prefer neither of them. That's why I mute the commentary.

Check, mate.

Does Chesser play for the Knights?

That's disappointing. You'd think people would know better after all we've been through. Of course, if this causes things to go all pear-shaped again, no doubt the Government will be pilloried. Do the right thing, people. Working together is our only chance to control this virus.

Clyde also boasts the all-time record ratio of victories to games played*. That phenomenal figure of 81% is even higher for games played at the MCG. (* excludes those who only played one or two games.)

What's a TMZ?

With AVB departing, we need to draft AMW to keep ANB company.

Would you be allowed to pose with the Cup and a signed football, or is ball-cupping also banned?

I wouldn't have gone even it was run by the club. Those prices are highway robbery.

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2021/10/26/regional-fans-filthy-over-melbourne-fan-day-premiership-event-costs/ They're doing a regional tour, but the admission price is an eye-watering $149 for a single or $499 for a family to attend. Such high prices will keep a lot of fans away, I would expect.

I believe that is the case, which is great news for Clarry and the MFC. BTW, shouldn't your name be ademonski?

If we draft him, I'd like to nominate "Evil" as his nickname.

Is it too late for Damien Gaspar to make a comeback?

Michael Leunig makes a strong case for the corrugated iron flag.

Crikey, if ever there was a case for one team to wear an alternative strip or at least white shorts!

There's probably a joke about Christians and Sinn to be made, but it's not as if I'm the type to do that.

Easternwood has announced his retirement. We broke him.
