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 ...

Have there been any mad enough to do both? At once? Could get quite messy by the sound of it 😆🤣

Perhaps it is to stop some pretentious [censored] from another club offering him a deal as a part-time ruck coach (such as Clarko trying pinch Viney)? Gawny will probably be in demand as a coach and leader, but this effectively shuts the door on a twilight stint elsewhere as a player.

Congratulations on your career BBB. You certainly didn't leave anything out there, but Old Father Time is a persistent bastard who always wins in the end. Not everyone gets a fairytale ending. To celebrate, instead of the usual 3/4 time "Race against a Demon", we should have the spectator start at the usual position (left-hand back flank facing the City End) against BBB with a footy, starting his run-up at the same spot. The spectator runs around the boundary, as usual, while BBB does his run-up to take a shot from the fifty at the City End. If the spectator beats the ball across the goal line, they win. For extra points, BBB has to bounce every 15m -- I reckon his standard run-up requires two anyway.😅 One last sideshow for SideShow Bob! 😀🤣

I though the injury would be pissing Max off, rather than the other way around ... :-)

I like your analysis, and I count myself as a supreme optimist. But on this one, there is no discussion --- Hawks by as much as possible (and I thought I would never type those words!). Anyone but Collingwood!

Oh and if Disco's form remains this hot, does that mean we have a Disco Inferno? 😃

How about the media hype about Draper's game? The media make it sound like he single-handedly carried the Bombers, whereas from my perspective, his ruck dominance made no difference at all. The main reason they were ahead in the first quarter was their ability to get over the back of our defence, not Draper's influence. But I will of course understand if you are more worked up about the umpires' performance, particularly in the last few minutes.

Thanks!

I did think at the game that it was umpired like the venue was Perth ....

Whatever the reason, it is great to have you back!

They do? News to me! 😆

Thanks again for the podcast guys. I think we look a lot better with Kossie in the middle. Is that why we recruited McAdam? Will we see a time when Trac is forward and Kossie is in the middle permanently?

Good to know! 😁

Did we pass? 😁
