Haha i regularly get pulled over by the police in Thailand for the same reason. They always start at 1000 Baht ($50 roughly) but wife wife goes absolutely ape dropping and practically climbs over me to get at the uniformed extortionist. Usually get away with 1-200b or thereabouts after her "negotiating". Happy days.

We won.

Geez matey, i have been reading this thread for a couple of days hoping to see someone reply to your request for a get-together for a frothy or 7. I have actually been feeling sorry for you. Hope you have a great day whatever happens. I am working (In Numurkah) or i would have a can with you. COME ON DEMONLAND, GET AROUND HIM !!!!!!!!

I signed up for the 1 month free trial a couple of days ago so i can see this weekends match. So far it has been really good. Im trialing the basic service and have watched some NBL and a replay of the Sydney game last year. Easy to use via my Telstra TV, and the app runs well on my sisters phone. Im already with Telstra so when i start subscribing it will cost me $15 per month for 12 months. No way i will go back to Fox subscription at twice the price. As i post this im watching the V8 supercars in Adelaide on a 55" cheapie tv and it is streaming great and looks crystal clear from my 50/20 NBN service. Take a Chromecast with you and watch on a big screen wherever you are in Oz. (Can you do that with the mobile Foxtel service?) As long as your internet service is a decent speed for streaming, i reckon its a winner.

I am pumped that we are into it again and am especially happy to see Vanders named in the squad. Surely this must have come as a big surprise to just about everyone on this site? Jackson. Kossie. Sparrow. AVB. Langdon. Tomlinson. Fully fit Lever. Fritta back in a FP. Melky also fit and back on a fwd flank. So many reasons to be excited about a "meaningless" match. I cant [censored] wait.

Reckon the "Title Wars" about this docco can be forgotten now. Im feeling BACK already. My Credit card is getting itchy for a membership after that.... I wont make it to round 1 unsigned if the next episode is as good as this one. I wanted the team to show something first, but have the feeling in my plums we will be better than many this year. #postingpositivewhilesober

So did Essendon

Awesome. Hope your day goes off like a frog in a sock. Plenty of us to cover the worry of pre-season injuries so you can concentrate on getting your lines right at the altar. Dont want you fluffing your "repeat after me". Relax, we got this !!

Who is getting married? A wedding should only be stressful if you are the one getting married, or its your child, (Or if you are the photographer/caterer/bridal party/videographer etc) Don't worry about the injuries until we start adding top 10 players with long term issues. Reckon we will go alright this year. When we do i will be happy to buy you a calming wine at one of the MCG bars. #ConfidenceInMFC P.S. good luck with your post surgery recovery.

Sending you a hug Jaded

We cant really get around the fact that Maxy is one of the most popular and valuable players in the entire league. As an on-field leader, i would happily follow young Jack into battle (Metaphorically speaking only), but the poor guy isnt exactly the most elegant public speaker. I dont mind at all if we have co-captains again with Jack ( If you want an example of a player who bleeds for the jumper, and who others are happy to follow) and Max ( Who is probably the most presentable "Face" of MFC). Lock it in.

Preuss has worked his [censored] off and completely changed his body shape to give himself the absolute best shot at being a regular at senior AFL level. How typical of our (MFC) luck does this sort of thing happen........ I know its not the end of our season, but seriously.... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

So after watching it, i dont get why anyone would be critical. Some genuine insider stuff there, without any rose coloured glasses or spin. 8 mins of going over how bad we were last year, and just touching on the clubs plan to get better. Look forward to seeing the rest of it already. Might even convince me to renew my membership.................................................. Anyone critical of that is a sourpuss.

Im happy for practically anything footy related after the last few months. Sure beats some of the mind numbing stuff that we have had to wade through on here while waiting for the season to start again. Havent seen it yet, but will watch tonight when i get home from work. At least we are trying something different (For MFC that is).

I can hear it now.... Commentators at center bounce "Umpire throws it down down down down."

"3KZ ISSSS Football"

Exactly was i was Hopingthinkingpraying.

Edited for accuracy :p

Ban the bump !!!

Probably been planning this injury for 12 months. Takes time to organise a decent injury.

I wish you people would English proper Its "He done GOOD"

Trac has been a victim of his own hubris up to this point of his career. I have referred to him in the recent past as possibly the most overrated player in the league based on hype-v-output. Last year i watched him closely looking for ANY signs that he might be tracking(no pun intended) towards a genuine A-Grader. I can honestly say i saw enough to suggest the penny might have finally dropped for him. I believe (maybe more of a hope ) that he can, if he stays injury-free, become one of the games most damaging players this season. Boy dont we need it.

GET AROUND HIM !!!

The only position for Oscar is CHB. He doesnt have the agility to play and further forward than that, and any closer to (oppo) goal makes his mistakes more costly. Unless he can improve his manoeuvrability out of sight, its about the only place he can play. Having said that, he still looks like our best option in that role for the time being.
