57 years between flags will do that to you ... :-)

Good to have you back DF. Not much banana-related developments of late (unless you count the interest in the off-field workings of the Dees, over which the football "journalism" community appear to have gone bananas ... :-) )

Nice!

Did either salute?

And a few hayburners as well?

Thanks!

Thanks. Still about 25,000 short of the MCG capacity. Is it suitable for footy there?

10 goal win. Always. Any day of the week.

Not sure it is as simple as that. The MCG has the biggest crowd capacity in the country (there were 100,013 at the GF apparently). None of the other regular footy stadiums hold more than 55,000 IIRC. So unless some other city builds a stadium with an oval arena with a capacity for 90,000+ fans, there will never be an economic case for holding it anywhere else. Even in an era when the TV rights run the game, not even the AFL are silly enough to pass up the income from 45,000 extra GF tickets (ie massive $$s) ...

I am sure they would be very happy to make an enormous mess all over the place!

Already been out to Caulfield Park with the woofers. Beautiful day for it. Much pointless running enjoyed. Probably should have taken them to the racecourse instead!

I think you mean monochrome --- otherwise that phrase is close to ban-worthy :-)

Looks like you got your wish ... https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1643280/petracca-confirms-demon-commitment

Sorry to hear it. Hope you get to see Max lift the 2025 premiership cup!

Very sad news. Condolences to the family. Life is all too fleeting ...
