I have read of people refreshing their subs by opening a new account with a different email address Austrian formula 1 (second round) on this weekend....magnificent location

are we going for a training ground in Beijing? Could be an easier get than the MCG precinct There's always a bright side...Kochie's China plans aren't looking good

Metricon with four games over the weekend. Will be interesting to see how the surface holds up. 15mm predicted for Sunday and 45-60mm for Monday...lucky that wasn't Saturday and Sunday ! Cats and Pies for the first two matches

Happy with the ins. The outs are slightly more questionable but having watched Tomlinson in a good team (GWS) last year I was always wondering what we would get. Hunt is the only forward dropped so I'm not sure who moves where if we play Bennell on the flank.Could it be Salem to the wing?

one positive is that we don't have the "squad selection" tonight At least we can read the tea leaves on the emergency selections. I'm expecting a win by hopefully more than 20 points. A close win or a loss won't get my minuscule hopes up at all. Foxtel don't publish ratings but my guess is that this game may set a new low in the ratings.

If performance is sub par at the end of the year Bartlett and Mahoney should go simply because they locked us into the contract with Goodwin.Squarely their responsibility. Pert's future should be reviewed by the new Chairman. Seems to have done little wrong but from the outside it's hard to tell if the non football side of things is working well. One assumes he has KPI's which are measured against other clubs with due regard to size and on field success. The new training ground in the MCG precinct is a Board decision which has made pursuit of that goal very difficult.

Would Mozart be at full forward Interesting to note that his more famous operas were two rather than three or four acts so perhaps he was more suited as a burst player

Let's put it this way....if you knew we were going to finish 17/18 in 2020 would you have done the trade? FWIW I'm ok with the trade but in typical MFC mode nothing ever quite works out to plan

I suspect that is the last scratch match we will see. They weren't the best but they were better than nothing

Big difference between 65 and 90. 33 players and 32 support staff sounds about right. As I understand it, clubs were allowed 50 people plus players at a game which apparently was enough to allow a few Board members (Edie everywhere springs to mind)

GWS v Hawks game had a crowd. Not sure what the maximum number is. Strange thing was the broadcaster still used the canned crowd noise. GC v Dees .... probably cost too much to open the ground

So AFL have been in NSW for forty years and we can't find a spare oval... Think on it

My guess is that the NSW border will be closed for a minimum of two months. That assumes a month to get on top of the virus numbers and then a month of verification and political manouevering. (Early reports suggest nearly 200 cases for Melbourne today). You would have to think that if there's a risk of a break out in another State it's NSW which would complicate things. And of course there's still the Essendon catch up match to play.

I always have a second team in which I take an interest. At the moment it's the Giants. Over the years it has included Collingwood, North and the Eagles. The team has to be exciting and offer a genuine premiership chance. While it doesn't help with dealing with the frustration of being an MFC supporter it enables me to maintain an interest in AFL when our season comes to an early end ...which is often

Quite enjoyed the Austrian Grand Prix over the weekend. The countryside surrounding the track was jaw droppingly gorgeous. Oh to be having a strudel in Vienna

It's melancholy times and following the MFC does not help. Did not expect our season to be effectively over so quickly. Was it wrong to be quietly relieved when our game against Essendon was cancelled. Like the virus there seems to be no way out until we find the magic vaccine. Quietly planning a trip to Tunisia and Pakistan for when times are normal. Whenever that might be

We may well beat the Suns but it will be a false dawn. Weideman in for someone and O Mac in for Smith Care factor is pretty well zero May as well get Jones to 300 and improve Bennell so we can offer him a fat contract and... well we know what will happen

You beat GWS by scrapping and playing the boundary.... see North v GWS If you take them on they will take you apart Every line packed with skill

The signs were there last year with his handpassing. In the irrelevancy of the second half of last season a good coach would have worked on that but ... well we don't have a good coach

Well I did open the changes thread last week with the comment that we should not play Lever and Smith in the same backline. I got howled down Time to find an interest in another sport for the season

1-4... we are alive..just 1-5.... no chance

The bright side is that because our Essendon match was postponed this is not season ending.... yet
