Training Ground?
well in the old days (the sixties) they emptied into the gutters of Paris and each day the gutters were flushed with water from the Seine which they still do today sans pee. The French are so cool sometimes.

Training Ground?
one of those amazing automatic ones where the door opens if you are in there for longer than ten minutes perhaps. Give me a Paris pissoir any day.

Training Ground?
agree.... add to that soccer grounds with running tracks around them which are common overseas AAMI Park is a fantastic viewing venue The thing that gets me when they play at places like the MCG is that they also insist upon having the subs, coaches,seats etc on the pitch sidelines which makes it even worse for ground level viewing venues such as the MCG

GAMEDAY: Rd 20 v Gold Coast Part 2
a couple if not four more before half time would be pleasant goals...not behinds !!
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 20 v Gold Coast Part 2
only because our inept kicking at goal has made it so unfortunately. This and the next two weeks should be regulation wins. Of course they won't be.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 20 v Gold Coast Part 1
defer the Casey game until tomorrow and give the "extras" a run
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 20 v Gold Coast Part 1

GAMEDAY: Rd 20 v Gold Coast Part 1

CASEY: Rd 16 vs Western Bulldogs
Of course the irony is that the VFL didn't start until Round 3 of the AFL season
-
Rd 22 vs Adelaide in Melbourne
Yep NT government not prepared to pay for GCS v MFC on 3 days notice and this is the possible compromise. Not happy is an understatement if it comes to fruition.
-
Sam Weideman re-signs until 2023
Late second round at best I'm afraid (pick 31 plus) Hopefully we can sign Jackson before Weid leaves. Would be a typical MFC thing to lose Weid, Jackson and T Mac (no form) all by the end of 2022

COVID & AFL 2021
NT will be driven by money If NT govt is prepared to pay Suns it's on. I suspect NT is trying to delay game until next week so they can get some economic benefit from the activity. Get ready to be shafted ... it's the Melbourne way

Frankston with its pine trees and glimpse of the Bay is not bad either
-
COVID & AFL 2021
no cases for Melbourne in 8 weeks? ... very low probability is my guess

COVID & AFL 2021
Williamstown on a light wind day is brilliant. Amazing how the ships almost can seem as if they're right beside the ground
-
COVID & AFL 2021
makes a lot of sense to base all finals teams in WA It is the State along with Tasmania that has the least chance of an outbreak. From there they can fly to other States as allowed. You could fly teams into SA from WA if that was permitted for some of the games. Same for Victoria and possibly Queensland if the crowd limits work.

COVID & AFL 2021
Bulldogs, Carlton , Williamstown and Northern Bullants are the scheduled games the first two are our home games and the rest are away

COVID & AFL 2021
So many countries now have restrictions on those who aren't vaccinated. From August 16 for example no entry into museums or art galleries in Italy for the non vaccinated

NON MFC: Rd 19 2021
First time for being in Australia for the Olympics for a while. I had forgotten how cringeworthingly Aussie centric the FTA commentary can be.

POSTGAME: Rd 19 vs Western Bulldogs
