Low Attendance
I was just going to do this anyway, but what a farcical system that it can't help but generate data that you need to ignore.

Low Attendance
For the first time ever my kid has expressed an interest in going, so I use my membership barcode to log into Ticketmaster, choose 'member guest ticket 6-14 years' and pay $3.50 extra booking fee only for her to be assigned a spot in what seems to be a completely different part of the ground to the one I've been assigned on my digital membership. I can't confirm this, because that's got me sitting in section 'GA42' which I don't think exists, and while an entry gate would give me some clue about which stand I'm supposed to go to, the bit where it says 'see below' for details doesn't have any details It's an ambitious game to take a guest to but JFC what a farcical process. Given that I've been assigned a seat in a fictional area I'll just take up the spot next to the guest ticket, wait for the actual ticketholder to turn up and try to negotiate.

Steven May Suspended by the Club
For my entire adult life any bad Melbourne news chilled me because I thought it would stop us from ever winning a flag. Now we have I can't bring myself to get upset about anything short of armed robbery. Good luck to all involved, won't mean a thing by September.

Low Attendance
I can't take TV and print journalists sooking about people consuming a product differently as if their business models haven't been completely upended in the last decade.

My 3 word player analysis V Fremantle
Oliver - nothing but accumulation

Blues the Dee-stroyers?
Will help if we don't give away a kilometre of 50s against them next time

Majak Daw Driving Charges
I don't think he's going to have to get to Casey beyond September so the last few months of the ban shouldn't hurt too much

AFLW List Changes 2022
She had that one three goal game... and about three more in the other 20. Never went near it this year. I'm interested to see what happens with Shelley Scott. She has had a very good career but looked shot this season.

AFLW List Changes 2022
Now Parry is going too. If we keep losing the fringiest of players expansion will have done no harm to us.
- Is David Noble the new Mark Neeld?

What They Are Saying at Glenferrie Oval
Hope Clarko took the tapes from last year, where they short-circuited our sick intercept marking power by scrubbing rubbish kicks along the ground.

22-0 or 21-1
Journos at the start of the season - 'Will [rubbish team] win a game this year?' Journos after Round 6 - 'Will [undefeated team] lose a game this year?' ... and every year the answer is yes, and yes. Same as the question "Does Barrett write rubbish that should be ignored?"

Tom Scully
This is a very similar name to that $cully guy who used to play for us. Amazing coincidence.

Eddie’s Bold Plan to Revamp Umpiring
If the plan's not bold or radical, Eddie's not interested. And this isn't even going into his mad idea to give the winner of the old pre-season cup a bye into the finals, or his bold plan for theatre marketing.

The very, very contentious 50 for Dissent Rule
I'd love to cop a rubbish free in the goalsquare and go right off.
-
The very, very contentious 50 for Dissent Rule
Good luck to the local umpires who are going to have to pay 50s for this. I suspect they'll be making their decision based on how likely the player is to deck them.

Low Attendance
Victorian teams playing home games against GWS, Gold Coast, Port and Freo suggest the AFL weren't all that serious about getting crowds in this week.

CASEY: Rd 03 vs Williamstown
Brown came back into the side last year off the back of a half-pace VFL outing and played a key role for the rest of the year. Must come back in immediately.
-
POSTGAME: Rd 04 vs Port Adelaide
It wasn't pretty but neither were most of our home and away wins last year and that turned out ok.

What they are saying at Bomberland
Appropriately, that Friday night game dropped us to 0-3. Would be nice to repay the favour. Also lol @ 2020 being a dead rubber game for us when we had to win to stay in the finals race.

What is wrong with Kayo?
Finally, my opportunity to go on a forum and complain about the nanny state.

What is wrong with Kayo?
Watching on a phone I rarely have any issues staying in one place, but if I'm walking outside it will often pause and put up the 'something's gone wrong' message.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
In a Truman Show style prank the producers would never have let us win. Best storyline would have been to come back from the dead then blow the three quarter time lead. For this reason I'm almost certain that it actually happened and I'm not being strung along in an elaborate scam.

“Sound the Alarm” The Goody Mic'd Up Documentary
This was disappointing, I don't need to rub it in by seeing Bevo have a miserable one but it would have been interesting to hear his comments as the game slipped away. They must have had some say over what went in the final product (or he ripped the microphone out), because I can't believe he didn't say anything interesting during the Mad Minute.
