It’s a secret Mr. Leg.

Oh No the worst possible thing has happened ahead of Dees 2021 campaign! Cyclone in Nth QLD has ruined the banana crop. Shortages expected and prices will increase. Think I might go back to bed.

Last Friday I got an email from the club talking about going to the first game. It said among other things I would get another email on Monday. So far Zip. Anyone get the second email?

All good questions George, pity the club has not started giving injury reports, there is not even a spot on the web site so far this year.

Media space filler Bbo. So many media people with so much space to fill.

If the majority are correct then our coach will be the first sacked. Actually think with our injuries 8th is about right.

Extremely happy to be wrong.

I am beginning to doubt it. It would be out by now surely!

Source is sticking to story, in hospital now if correct having angiogram.

No binman but he does have some good contacts. Does not mean he infallible.

Usually very good. I am hoping on this occasions he is not.

I have heard a rumour in the last 30 mins that TMac has been taken to hospital with blocked artery in his leg. No pulse in the leg!

We had another ruckman who won a Brownlow in the modern era. You could actually argue that he is not even the best ruckman. When he holds the cup up I might change my mind

I received an email on Friday saying as above George, it said more info Monday. I was out with some Richmond die hards yesterday and they have all applied for tickets ballot already. I guess most of their members won't get in so they are on the job early.

" Not news to no one' actually means it's news to everyone.

I think I mention elsewhere that last year at members info night there there was a short spot from the coach. He looked like it was the last place he wanted to be. I thought he looked ill. He said he was not going to make excuses and then gave 3 excuses why we did not play finals. Last Monday his spot was 1 minute and looked totally disinterested. On both occasions his spots did not make videos of the night on the MFC site the next day. What's up there? Not a good look IMO.

Sadly George while they control the election process to the point that no one they dislike has a chance of election it will not happen. We will be dependent on them " doing the right thing". Ha fat chance. Reminds me of the old days when MFC members were only allowed to vote for two members of the board.

And then there are the ones like me who will keep buying no matter what. Did not go last year and big chance I won't this year. I think MFC members are fairly tough or they would not still be members.

I guess that is the best of the uninjured but I find it hard to see that lot beating Richmond if they are half serious.

Hi Mrs Bartlett good to see you on Demonland!!!!

Has he seen the light?

I think a solid 50K is probably the high mark grapeviney.

I guess I am coloured by the fact I won't be going any way DC so who gets to go who doesn't is no big deal to me but you make a good point.

Winning games gets new members and supporters Dr. Fastest way known. Play finals every year for the next five years and win a flag in that time and everything becomes way easier.

Hunch, reading between the lines from AGM. Bartlett said the new word would be from the government. That suggests to me that he knows they are going to comment. When? Postive I think? I think they are going to announce a redevelopment of Olympic Park which will include us.
