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.

https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/anglesea-cliff-collapses-with-a-huge-boom-like-a-mine-blast-20211021-p5921e.html A section of cliff near Anglesea on the Great Ocean Road has collapsed into the ocean. The kicker is that the area is known as Demons Bluff. Authorities expect further collapses to occur in the vicinity of Kardinia Park over the next couple of years.

There might be a marketing tie-in with our wine sponsors, Bleasdale Vineyards. Brander Vino has a nice ring to it.

My better half has been leaving jewellery brochures scattered around the house. Never let it be said that I can't take a hint. I'm going to buy her a nice magazine rack for Christmas.

I can't wait to see him step up, take flight, rise to the occasion and tread a path to more Premiership glory.

He's been consistently good without starring for North Ballarat Rebels on a wing this year and there doesn't seem to be a huge gap between his best and his worst. By all reports, he is a dedicated, hard working and level-headed kid who would give his all to play AFL.

We are a chance to draft Jacob Van Rooyen, which means "Clearing in a Forest" in Dutch. I wonder if he has relatives named Glen or Dale.

Nice write-up about Ballantyne in this morning's 'Age'. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/driven-ballantyne-s-long-road-to-the-cusp-of-the-afl-20211015-p5909x.html

Ben Brown kicked a goal in the middle of that run of Bulldogs' majors, but your point is still valid.

1. When we won the flag in 1964, there were only 20 players in a team (18 on the ground and two reserves). It then went to 21 (18 + 3) and then to 22 (18 + 4) but we didn't win it during those years. 2. With the advent of the sub, this year was the first year that any team consisted of 23 players (18 + 4 +1)

He most definitely was, as this article on the MFC site in 2017 shows. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/77981/melbourne-welcomes-nga-talent
