I had a word with my mate this morning whose son plays with the Pies. The young bloke has to undergo extensive testing by the AFL (due to numerous concussions) before he can resume his career. My friend was talking with Mark Brayshaw. Apparently Gus also underwent the testing procedure and has been given the all clear.

I’m not sure about young Nate. Ten concussions and it took him a couple of days to recover from his last knock.

It's time for him to quit, seriously there is more to life tell Nate.

Worth watching the replay on Fox Footy?

Yes

Clint Stanaway, Neil Michell, Garry Lyon, Nick McCallum, 

 

I typed the above just before the service started then I turned my phone off.

Now that it’s over I believe even more it shouldn’t have been Maguire. He made it ALL ABOUT HIMSELF! He’s a smug, arrogant, self-absorbed [censored] and he just didn’t belong there today. 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I thought he did a good job.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to deactivate your Demonland account.

Very good LDC. I think it is Demonland ! Every thread is preceded by a long diatribe on not saying the wrong thing. Have we all become [censored] who don't know what to do / not to do in the last few weeks?  

A very good event, well done. I could not fault one bit. I am very glad I went.

Very moving service, plenty of legends in attendance.

The football memories were great but it was much more than footy or Melbourne. We got to see the person and his son Ron the 3rd's speech was possibly my favourite.

He spoke very well. My favourite too.

Do you know how much? You'd hope it's $300 or something 

I don't know and have never used one. They charge via a card so it makes sense they would hold that info until you return the devise.

You’re joking, right????

 

Serious, he is channel 9 man and they are broadcasting the event. Yes he is passionate pies man however I don't mind him. Who would you suggest?

Have you ever used one of those rental power banks here? Wonder what happens if you don't return them.

They charge you, they have your card details.

I get those issues with Kayo live streaming as well, buffering and lagging. The only time it happens is when watching live. I've even compared it with Foxte Go which is Foxtel's live streaming App and that doesn't have the issue so it's definitely Kayo which is pretty disappointing. 

 

I have been watching basketball the last few weeks and it seems to work ok so far. Why just AFL? I even snuck in 10 min look at the women's game last week and it was ok.

I don’t know about that particular GF but ours in 2021 was sit wherever you want. 🤭

Jokes, OD. 💖

The RDB memorial is first in, best dressed, so to speak. No allocation of seat numbers. General admission, so best to get there early. 

In and seated WCW. Hmm showing how poorly my fingers work on a phone's tiny keyboard.

Very good you win the prize for the best comment today.

we should be using that perception to extend the $ we have with the reputation as "good guys" as reflecting an ability to achieve outcomes. Governments also like to back winners.

It's simple there are no votes from giving the MFC money. We are spread across 25 electorates.

I guess in our own minds we are the good guys

WE have zero chance in my view of any government money Just the way it is.

We are perceived as a wealthy club with wealthy members 

what is in it for any government to give us monetary support

Sadly 100% correct Kent.

Prefacing your comment with “I have little interest in the girls [sic] game…” is the issue for mine. It makes me wonder why you’d bother to post in an AFLW-related thread in the first place.

NOTE: before anyone jumps on me: I didn’t say Old Dee CAN’T post on this thread. I merely questioned why he would bother doing so. 

Because I thought people on this thread would know as they have interest in the game. It’s a simple question that has turned into a fight about very little imo. So I will ask again do all players wear short socks?

It appears MFC members are invited to the State Funeral.

Have to register if you wish to attend.

Do we know what that means dd? Will it be first come first seated or will they allocate a seat number etc like they did for the 2012 GF replacement celebration?

So I still don’t know. Thanks for the info guys.

If you have no interest in the “girls game” OD, one wonders why you would possibly care to know what the length of their socks are?

Just saw some photos on here and was wondering NC. Is that not allowed? It's getting hard to discuss anything on here these days. I thought it was just an innocent question. But perhaps not! 

As most know I have little interest in the girls game as the following will show. Do all the girls teams wear short socks?

I have this feeling that it was our banter this morning that resulted in the No BS thread being banished to Siberia.

I was shocked to see our lighthearted posts deleted then astounded to see the whole thread removed from the main board.

Like you I am taking a big risk with my longevity on this site but no one reads this thread so we should be safe...

Surely the mods are not that sensitive? And I just paid my membership.

Sometime ago I spent an obscene amount of money on a new TV, an Oled LG, 65 inch, only to find that the football ghosts when I stream Kayo.  It's very frustrating.  It's no good for golf replays either and I'm considering buying a new TV.

Does anyone have any knowledge that will help me.  I'm worried about buying a new TV  and suffering the same issue.

Any help or comments would be much appreciated.

It is not your tv it is Kayo. It has to be the poorest streaming service in existence. Watching most sports live the picture quality is poor with   constant stop start action. Funny that any replay seems to be ok.
