Wonder what the learnings out of this would have been?

On the 2021 Melbourne Season Preview on the "Lace Out" podcast I picked him at the start of 2021 as a future Melbourne 200+ gamer & potential captain. Tracking in the right direction my boy!

Had 4 windows open on my desktop for AFL Members tickets. 1 at 11:30 1 at 11:30 on incognito mode 1 at 11:45 1 at 11:45 on incognito mode And the result...? Purchased 4 tickets off the Ticketek app on my phone whilst my 4 windows continued to spin.

The feeling over the past month for me is that we have been smarter in our list management and strategy than this time last year. Last year we ran out the season on fumes and had no depth that the coaching department felt could step up at this stage of the year. This year we have had to adapt on the run with injuries, blooded young players and tinkered with different game modes. Whilst we aren't coming home like a freight train in 2023, we are just biding our time and waiting to strike come September.

Confident the longer deal on slightly less cash will allow Dogga to sign a 2-3 year deal and Gus gets 5 years on slightly higher coin than Trac & Clarry. What a morning! Over to you Gus & Dogga. ...and yes i need to update my username lol.

According to the official bookmaker of the AFL - "integrity" is currently at $4.20 and the smart money is coming for "no integrity" at $1.72. If you are looking for value this weekend combine "integrity" with "No further investigation required" and "We've gone through the Due Diligence" and you can get them at $8.00 this weekend in our "same AFL Investigation multi." But as always when we bombard you with gambling ads on TV, radio, the internet, the newspaper and billboards and really mean it as a token gesture fully knowing it actually doesn't do anything to deter...gamble responsibly.

Always been an advocate for Joel to be up forward. Can obviously leap and either take a mark or provide a contest. Has the speed to get off his man on the lead. Sadly i think that time has passed.

Way of the world these days. Wonderful thing about our club is the system we've built both on the field and in the coaches box is firing on all cylinders at the moment. Will be a bit of extra press for this game now with Yze going up against his old club. If we get a good win (pardon the pun) will the footy shows next week start talking up Ooze as a possible coach in waiting for 2023? ...and before anyone says anything, yes i need to update my profile name. :)

Anyone who can get to every game is extremely lucky. No-one has the right to pot shot members / supports for not going to the games. Everyone has their own circumstances why they can't go to as many games as they would like to. Just because finally we have an ultra competitive team on the field for what looks like the next 3-5 years doesn't mean everyone can just drop everything and adapt their life to the fixture of the MFC. As much as I love the club, unfortunately unless I can get childcare at the footy then I won't be going to a few games this year as I have 2 kids under 6.

Im predicting 24-25,000 for the game. Easter weekend and lots of families going away for a few days R&R. Anything over 28,000 would be a great result.

Oh I feel your pain. Primary School in the 80's St Bernard's in the 90's I've now erased 2000 from my memory thanks to last year. Having had to wear that jumper for Little League as I grew up 10 minutes from Windy Hill...makes my skin crawl thinking about it. Being at that win @ Windy Hill in 1990 was my childhood version of winning the premiership. I can still recall Darren Bennett taking the [censored] and lobbing goals from 50 over the back fence and out of the ground and Peter Landy's all time favourite call of "Heaver...Leave it to Heaver!" For those outside of the North-West of Melbourne and can't comprehend what it was like, imagine 99% (there are a few supporters i know that are actually non-biased and can have a chat about footy with) of their supporters with the smugness of peak Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson and letting you know how [censored] your team was ...every....single...week.

I wanna see Bomber supporters going into nuclear meltdown mode at the ground and listen to them sook on SEN driving home after going 0-3 tonight and how they "shouldn't have got rid of Sheedy and that's the reason why we are in this mess." The only match of the year where I go into feral mode and want to inflict pain and misery onto a club...and sit back with a smile in my face while it all happens.

I had visions of a multi-story training facility along the lines of Tottenham Hotspur currently where Car Park F is located. Spurs facility also has an indoor hall which would be fantastic if there was something like this to allow all teams onsite to use. Something along the lines of the team whose name I cannot say have at their training facility near Melbourne Airport. That mockup was my preferred wish list of re-aligning the offramp to create extra space for 2 x Rugby / Football pitches.

I must admit i'm curious to see what happens with the Training Facility and surrounding areas off the back of the news report. Hopefully most of the above comes true in some way shape or form!

Nope that was all in my head. I've heard it enough times to know it off by heart! :)
