After such a perfect preseason, I am desperate to have some yardstick. If they manage four rounds, that will possibly partly satisfy me and while i am doing nothing due to the pandemic, will give me four successful replays to keep watching. Mind you, if we lose .............. (and i must admit, I am of the view that some degree of continuity of life as we knew it can only be a good thing)

Given he only had 9 kicks, it is possible you might have

Was that the finishing order and if so has OMac previously done that well?

Touch unkind

Just been waiting for my coffee in Horsham and fell into conversation with the happy indigenous gent beside me in a MFC tee shirt. He turned out to be the very proud father of Kysaiah having a pit stop on the way back to SA. He wasn’t afraid to talk the boy up. Said he has a fantastic attitude. anyway I left him talking to Frank Giampolo (ex MFC footballer). Really looking forward to seeing this kid play

I thought God went back to Geelong

Cook was 2010 and Gysbets was 2009. You are going to have to let them go as prime examples at some point.

The fact there were so many easy shots at on the night goal suggests that the ball was being used and delivered into the 50 reasonably well. The simple fact is that too many were missed

Of course if we had won extra games we may well have finished third, played our first final in Perth, received the same belting and gone out in two. Would those now carping have accepted a season where we won two finals against vastly more experienced teams when setting their expectations in February.

He will actually have to go to hospital - where he should be now making sure the boy is ok

Well it does show we are clearly on our way up. We have passed Carlton this year

About to get on (rarely running French) train from Aix-en-Provence to Lyon. Will be relying on you guys even more than usual

It’s possible John Lord was.

In fact Melbourne has not lost a quarter in her lifetime!

Worth watching again just to see Jack Viney in action

Whenever I log on to Demonland and see the Fat Lady thread, I am drawn to open it before everything else. It has always contained some excellent information and spectacular abuse. The only sensible alternative to closing it would be perhaps to open a "I hate Essendon because they are a pack of arceholes" thread.

The statistics would suggest that if - You win three quarters - massively win the inside 50's - Massively win the tackles - Comfortably win clearances - win contested ball count You would expect to win the game 19 times out of 20

A wonderfully accurate expression
