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?

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?

That may well be the top comment of yesterday.

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.

Careful od, we will have more posts deleted...

...at least they can't banish this thread to Siberia, it is already there !😵‍💫

I realise the risk I am taking LH but standards must be upheld!!!!

I think this thread in the very least should be closed if not removed entirely. It could easily cause distention,  poor behaviour and name calling. The risk is just too high.

And I think it is only fitting that a statue of the creator of the thread, be erected at the MCG and also another at the new home base,  which will thereby encapsulate his two sporting loves.

Holding a banana in his right hand! 

I see the censors have struck again. Another tread shut. 

Kick straight!

Can’t wait for the draft to be over, so we call in the builders, to repair all the houses that we will be training down in the pre season.

Perhaps we should rename as the Whelans.

So far a F for the trio. Casey forever?

And will Damian Barrett have something good to say about Goodwin and MFC? He’s very annoying.

I basically ignore him and a number of others. It's all about looking relevant to keep their jobs.

But was Nick Riewoldt jumping on top of Joel?

I guess that all depends n whether he was going to drown  without help or not?  Swimming with a dislocated shoulder can be challenging. 

Oh no Mono you have said the unspeakable words!

I didn't think we were allowed to say his name let alone a whole thread!

I see the person we are not allowed to discuss has made the headlines this afternoon after saving a guy while surfing. Seems the guy dislocated his shoulder in the water in Bali. Good work SG.
