the best scenario for us is that goody and richo are seconded to city hall.

As an MFC and MCC member, I’ve always seen my membership fee as a donation — a gesture of loyalty, not investment. Over the years, it’s added up to tens of thousands of dollars. And I know I’m not alone — there are thousands of supporters just like me. It’s a donation made in hope — hope that somehow endures, even as we inevitably shoot ourselves in the foot. 2021? That was five glorious minutes of sunshine in an otherwise cloudy lifetime. And strangely, it’ll probably be enough to sustain my love for this club until the end. And still, we turn up. We always do.

I guess the most obvious answer is that we don't kick it between the two high white pole things coming up out of the ground.

He doesn't read the comments on 'Land either.

There are only five people who need to be consulted about this deal: Bella, Jess, George, Louis and Clarry's therapist.

@Demonland - can we please have the face palm emoji back?

The scraps from the Filth have always served us well.

Jeffo Airplane, Langford and the Spreadsheet didn't play for the MFC last year. I recon there's two players better than last year. The rest continue to stagnate or go backwards. No wonder we're stuffed. Outside of Meth Coke and Norf, the rest of the comp is cruising on 110 while we are trying to crank a 1954 Morris Oxford with a broken choke.

The 2022 draft for the whole competition is not going to be remembered as a vintage crop.

Who is better than last year?

Def deja vu all over again like last year.

Very interesting to know, though; have I come on purpose or have I simply walked here by chance? Raskolnikov.

Legend @Anti Saint. RDB even gets a plug at 3:21. Amazing.

"A bit of Googling".

Depends on what 'player ratings' one follows. On the set I refer to, he's 58. There are five ruckmen in the comp in front of him. And only Max might be paid more. And that in a nutshell is the problem.

Based on his performance tonight, I hope we don't chase him. His ruck work is atrocious. Expense does not equal output.

LJ horrendous. He actually hasn't improved since he was with us. If he wants to come back he'll need to take a severe haircut - and that ain't gunna happen.

My local milk bar is big compared to Flogmantle.

LJ has had one Jack Dyer "good ordinary" season at the Shockers in three years and isn't currently ranked in the best 50 players in the game. I would certainly have him back at Melbourne, but the Garry Meadows "Price is Right" must apply.

Brian Taylor was Barge before he was BT, Bristle and now %^&*head. Gary Crazy Horse Cowton. (Mostly a backman that could be swung forward in a crisis). Slamming Sam Kekovich. Rene The Incredible Hulk Kink. The greatest football nickname of all, in my view, belongs to the former brilliant rugby league player Phil Sigsworth, who was known as Whatsapacketa.

Youtube Peter Hudson. Great footage of him flat punting. And check out how still his head is.

Got you covered @Ethan Tremblay. There's six in the small jar located inside my pantry.

Bang, bang, bang. The crux of our problem. Since 2021, our senior/best players have regressed (with the notable exceptions of Max and TMac) and the tier under them have not improved to the degree necessary to take up the slack. It's why we are in the bottom third of the ladder.

It’s the kind of day where the light seems to hesitate, where victories drift past like half-remembered dreams, and the scoreboard whispers things no one quite understands. We stand at the edge of the moment, unsure if we’re walking toward something, or if something quiet is already walking toward us — a ripple in the mirror, waiting for the next wave to arrive.
