old dee

I have been to the majority of these over the last 30 years. I miss actually going to the meeting. Zoom meetings are not the same but perhaps that is just me trapped in the 20th century.

Never, I hate to say it but she is a cats supporter. Also not interested in playing football. I am now working on the four year old.

100% agreed on crap TV.

I would love to know how it rates. Even with "my" team playing I was struggling to maintain interest. I guess you cannot please everyone.

Last night I decided to give the girls game another go. Hmm doesn't seem to have changed much since my last visit. Admittedly it is based on one game But the standard has not changed much. Last night it was barely country league seconds standard. There were two Suns players who were 20 kg overweight. There is IMO only one reason it is on TV and that is AFL political correctness.

Doesn’t seem so long ago that was a serious question.

You sound like me wedded to a system that will never return dl4e.

The main reason it took 57 years to win a flag was not the training facilities IMO. It was that we had poor administrations and more importantly not enough players capable of playing at a level that wins flags. We won our first flag in 57 years from training at Casey the majority of the year. The training venue is important but what is more important is the players and administrators, we have the goods in those areas at present and are probably Favourites again in 2022. If it takes another ten years to resolve a central training facilities so be it.

Even though I have had 3 shots you can count me amongst that group. At my age not even an unfurling of a flag after 57 years will see me take the risk. I plan to attend games that have low attendances this year. Who knows what the world we look like come June/ July but that is my current plan.

As i have thought for some time I will be ashes by the time the new facility is built.

In February I am still in the isolating Group JNM. Now that may change as the year progresses. Over the last two years I have learnt to live without attending sporting events live. I will wait and see.

You can put me partly in that group LDC. E.G. now when you go out for a meal it seems it has now become common practise that you have to order via your phone. There is no waitress/ waiter to take you order Net result my wife and I enquire before we sit down if there is waiter service. If it is ordering by phone we move on. Of course it isn't helped by the fact that we are reluctant to eat inside in crowded environments. I suspect my attendance at games of sport will be affected as you suggest. We are both triple vaccinated but of an age that we don't want to contract covid if possible. I will no longer attend any function inside that has large numbers of people. I doubt I will go to the first mfc game of the year. Too many people. Things could change as 2022 wears on but at this stage I am very care full about reducing the chances of contracting Covid.

I can honestly say bp has never passed my lips DC. However a bottle of French bubbles was much more successful even if I could not afford petrol for week.

Now there is a long forgotten drink Bbo. A hoped l-g op-ner back in the day. Have to say it never worked.

Pessimism and MFC went hand in hand for decades Ernest. Of course I want to go to a very large number of victories over the next few years but now that we have broken the Premiership drought I feel very content with the world of sport and particularly the MFC.

It's amazing I am so calm about season 2022. First time in living memory I feel confident and no need to study the team in detail. We are in good hands on and off the field. Just awaiting the season start.

It seems to me that as usual the AFL is doing the usual of trying to be the social conscience of sport. Without the men's competition being strong the deck of cards comes down. The men's competition needs to remain strong which means a good reserves competition is needed. Then the Women's competition not the other way round. Yes both at the same time should be the desired objective but that is not how I read it.

We have had 2 minutes rain in my part of melbourne, hardly enough to wet the concrete so far LDC.

That’s hardly politically correct dr. and we know how correct the AFL wants to be seen.

I was there that day the only game of football I saw live last year. He had a good game that day, sadly has had to wait months to show us if he is destined for greater glory.

You have my vote.

The quick answer is NO!

I am surprised there is enough oxygen up there to sustain the flight.

Hi Ernest I have missed you. That sounds ominous!

Update: Her husband has tested positive today, so far a bad headache.
