Is it just my machine or have we broken the internet?

Wouldn't have happened had the Airplane played and we stopped loading in April 🤣 🙃 ☠️.

Petty's no Jezza.

I want Tyson Sruk on our AFL list next year.

Dees supporters when Trac shanks it 30 metres out, on the run with the wind, 15 metres in the clear.

Grundy won the AFs last night - 20 points clear of the player in second place. Yet he had virtually no influence on the game. My mad Filth mate said he could only remember one game he played for them when he changed the course of the game. My response, I can remember six games Max played in a 10 week period through 2021 that delivered a premiership. My Filth mate nodded sagely. [Postscript - yet another instance where stats seek to deceive. Not you @DubDee , but a point some 'Landers would do well to concede.]

He was great I recon. Every time he goes near the ball - something happens. Sometimes a two goal game can be more important to the team than a five goal one.

Bluey or Max?

And there a rich heritage - so big call @Random Task .

Actually, this is incorrect. It's much high due to the cumulative effect. Call it $8m (est.).

One can only hope that the bean-counters are listening @beelzebub .

It's 17,362. That is the number of members we've lost in 18 months. In dollar terms, it is a loss of $5,208,600.

Demonland having a policy is like saying seagulls have a code of conduct. Sure, they do — right up until someone drops a chip, then it’s screeching, eye-gouging, and a fight to the death over who played worse, Kolt or the Airplane.

We’re top of the league in expected score versus actual score — which is like saying Apollo 11 had perfect flight metrics but just missed the moon by 30km. “Mission success!” they cried, as they drifted off into the void. But don’t worry — the telemetry looked really good.

He retired years ago - never played for us anyway.

As one gets older - it's not unknown.

Why doesn't Roo play more like Hudson?

For me? Depending on the opponent and the materials available - up to a dozen.

Non-MFC threads should be officially renamed Paranoid Umpire-AFL Collusion Echo Chambers. Because let’s be real — every Thursday night game involving two completely unrelated clubs somehow becomes undeniable proof that the league, the umpires, the fixture computer, and Gil’s ghost are working in tandem to destroy the Melbourne Football Club. A Filth defender breathes near a forward? “Paid every day of the week – except when it’s us.” A GWS midfielder gets a soft 50? “Corrupt. Scripted. Dil’s long con to grow the game in Parramatta.” It’s pathetic, really. The lengths we go to in connecting phantom dots would make a flat-earther forum look grounded. It’s not a conversation, it’s a group therapy session for those traumatised by a holding-the-ball call in 2018.

Ultimate contradiction in terms.

I too often find that when I remove the result, the scoreboard, the context, and three quarters of the game, things look much better. What we’re building here is less a game plan and more a postmodern art installation — role execution as interpretive dance, intensity as abstract concept. The boys weren’t “off,” they were simply expressing a different truth this week @jackaub . And honestly, who are we to question that?

We are not a high performance organization. Five minutes of sunshine in 60 years.

What stage are you at? The five stages of grief, as outlined by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. These stages are a framework to understand common emotional reactions to loss, but they are not necessarily linear or experienced by everyone. Grief is a personal experience, and individuals may experience these stages in different orders, or not at all, and may even revisit stages. Here's a breakdown of the five stages: 1. Denial: This stage involves a temporary refusal to accept the reality of the loss. It can manifest as disbelief or shock. 2. Anger: As the reality of the loss sinks in, anger may arise. This can be directed at oneself, others, or even a higher power. 3. Bargaining: In this stage, individuals may try to negotiate with a higher power or fate, often in an attempt to regain what was lost. 4. Depression: This stage involves feelings of profound sadness, hopelessness, and withdrawal as the reality of the loss fully sets in. 5. Acceptance: This is not necessarily a happy stage, but rather an acknowledgement of the loss and a movement towards integrating it into one's life. Important Considerations: Not linear: Individuals may cycle through these stages, experience them in different orders, or not experience all of them. Personal experience: Grief is a highly personal journey, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Other emotions: Other emotions such as sadness, guilt, and anxiety can also be part of the grieving process. Seeking support: It's important to seek support from friends, family, or a therapist if you are struggling with grief. Beyond death: The five stages can also apply to other types of loss, such as the end of a relationship or job.

I tried to follow that sentence but got trapped in a father-son-cat-draft-premiership wormhole. By the time I emerged, it was 2051, Louis Gawn had just retired with three Brownlows and two Colemans in his kit bag, and we were still debating our 2022 list strategy and the merits of drafting Jack Watts with pick one. Pass the spaghetti — I need carbs to survive that syntax.

He's a member of a class of well remunerated tall forwards known as 'b-graders'. Members include Membery, McStay, McLean, Darling and Marshall. They all have similar career stats and drive their clubs supporters nuts. They also have a disturbing pattern of playing in premierships.
