  1. I was today rang by the club trying to get more money from me. It was an interesting discussion ( not the money ) as we discussed the coming season. The person who contact me I believe was not expecting a lot more than 2013 it is was refreshingly honest. I have no idea how these people get themselves up for this thankless job. They have my admiration way more than the Players and officials who get paid handsomely to perform their functions. I think he was surprised that I was so cheerful. He seemed to brighten up substantially after I cracked a couple of jokes with him. Thank God for these people I wonder where clubs would be without them.
  2. That says it perfectly Redleg. I guess it is just the way of the world but it seems like the MFC are carrying more than their share of tragedy in recent times.
  3. Spot on WJ.I am depressed that already this thread is giving me more joy than any other and the first game has not even been played.
  4. There is nothing new in this DF. However I have had a fair share of fun outside of the MFC so perhaps it is the MFC they hate and not us?
  5. Yes DF I have a feeling it is going to be Cardinals for you and Uni Blacks for me.
  6. A little further north east Redleg.Panama Canal sure to plenty of bananas on board. The really sad part is I will mis the three amigos being on the ground together for the first time in late August.
  7. That says it all dc after that the true nature of our crocks will emerge!
  8. That says it all!
  9. Hi Guys It is amazing what 36 hours can do. Must say after a day with my Grand daughter and night out with a couple of old friends I am totally at peace with the world. I think my fears from the last six months have been realized but it is not as though I got something totally unexpected yesterday. Just reminds me that our list is actually as crappy as I thought. To all those spruking a top eight finish what can you say? Forget it guys it will not happen this side of 2019. A good mate who I go to the football with rang me today and said lets do something else in 2014. Must say it is temping. We are starting by going to the GP next weekend and I have planned a cruise with last nights friends it will be booked Tuesday. My wife told me this morning that there are other things in life and she is correct. The membership is purchased and I will no doubt get to a few games but the MFC in 2014 is probably more of the last two years. Enjoy the next 6 days guys.
  10. It shows the levels you go to for GC's I now quite like Peppa!
  11. I am on similar duties Redleg the progress scores will have to do for me today.To be perfectly honest my GD is way more fun. Today I think anything less than eight goal loss will be good in my eyes. We are playing the best there is with an ordinary forward line.
  12. That might nearly see you out wyl at this time before a long weekend
  13. In light of our injury list dc I am just trying to lighten my mood a little. I might add there are a few things from last century that I would like to keep. Less media coverage comes to mind.
  14. Here we go again dc but I actually like it. Not in preference to the dark blue but like it none the lest. I actually only threw away a very old royal blue cap from that era last year. I liked wearing it but it was beyond help at that point and at the time I was feeling very indisposed towards the MFC. I Think it was the Sunday of the round 2 weekend.
  15. I think the Ruskies had that idea in mind at one stage
  16. Pretty sure that is not true Biffen DF has a fairly wild imagination
  17. No problem for me Bbo on laptop or iPad.
  18. magnanimous I believe is the only appropriate word to describe this gesture by the MFC.It shows our desire to keep the game alive in the Northern suburbs.
  19. Very good Mr Leg I bow to your superior skill.
  20. I heard he rejected it because he is tired of dealing with things that are not straight up.
  21. He is our donation to Essendon so they have enough players to make up a team for the later part of 2014 and 5
  22. Ok I get it now. Spat the dummy after the upgrade.
  23. Then why upgrade him?
  24. I Agree but in spite of my best efforts to understand the upgrading process Redleg the MFC never ceases to catch me out. e.g. last year they upgraded Magner and then never played him. So I will believe it when it happens
  25. Yes bb interesting to see this description "Small utility Luke Tapscott" I have always wondered what his position was, it seems the MFC are not sure either.
