La Dee-vina Comedia

Andy, I think you've updated the wrong thread with the addition of Meghan Markle. If I'm reading this headline correctly, you should be mentioning her on the new MFC CEO thread.

Excellent report, thankyou. To clarify, when you say you could see Lindsay and Jefferson "playing next week" I assume you mean Round 5 rather than Round 4? Is that right?

Just for the sake of everyone's mental health, I suggest you delay adding this functionality until after we've had a win.

Any organisation with problems looks for distractions to guide the media away from the real story. The "love" theme is a wonderful distraction because it's something new for the footy media hacks to get excited about. The real story is obvious, though. We're playing really poorly.

6. Bowey 5. Langdon 4. Langford 3. Petracca (although not really a patch on his best performances) 2. McDonald 1. May The defenders had a nightmare not of their choosing. Bowey, McDonald, May, Salem and Rivers all worked hard. They need more help from up the ground, particularly the forwards, who need either to stop the ball coming out so easily or score goals to stop it coming out at all. PS: The new operating system is playing havoc with numbered lists. Congratulations to anyone who has worked out how to do a list counting downwards from 6 without the format being completely murdered.

Actually, the article says it's Tom Greene studying politics while Toby Green is studying for his MBA.

Blakes? The club should be doing a bit better than that.

Salem on notice? You mean the same Salem that is equal second in the Demonland player of the year after getting votes in both of the first two games? Wow. I like setting high standards, but this is next level!

Pretty shmick. I feel like I need to wear my sunglasses (in both light and dark modes).

It's easy to say this with hindsight, but I wonder whether we should have played Campbell as well as Gawn against North? The consensus view appears to be that Xerri was the second-best ruckman last year (behind Max), so maybe it would have been a good opportunity to find out how the game would go with two "proper" ruckmen.

I'm sure there are plenty. But perhaps none of them have the skill set we're looking for.

This was a different time, though. Today, everybody has a camera with them. In addition, players are part of the generation who want to use social media to keep their friends, colleagues (and enemies) aware of where they are, who they are with and what they are doing.

Perhaps he was reacting, some might say over-reacting, to last year's big story that the club didn't show Petracca enough love when it mattered.

To be honest, I'm not sure I know what the difference is or when we're playing one or another type. It all looks the same to me and has done so for the last 7 years or so. In my opinion, irrespective of the game style we apparently are playing, if Max Gawn loses, we lose. If Max Gawn wins, we don't always win, but more often than not, we do. Against North, we saw what the future might be like once Max retires.

I think you'll find that the AFL has a dictionary which defines "everyone" as the Seven Network and Foxtel.
