I just checked weather zone (an app you can only get in melbourne) and it is saying 25 for Thursday.

Down to 22.

I bloody hope Hardwick plays the likes of Rioli, Castagna, and Menadue, I sure as hell hope Morris, Batchelor and the favourites that haven't earned it play.

Interested in people's thoughts on the 22 we will name for Thursday and how it will differ from the EF side. From what I can tell...

Out from EF side: Conca, Newman, Grigg

Questionable: Hunt, Griffiths, Lambert, Batchelor, Chaplin, Edwards (injury)

Potential ins: Townsend, Rioli, Castagna, Astbury, Broad, Menadue, C Ellis, Lloyd, Lennon, Morris

How do people think we will line up? FWIW I think it will be...

Out: Conca, Newman, Grigg, Hunt

In: Townsend, Menadue, Lennon, C Ellis

Wouldn't be surprised to see Griffths dropped, Astbury in and Chaplin moved forward either.

Met a patient who works in the MCC. He told me that they are not going to have the secondary fence circling the G for the footy this season. Not sure if this has been published or if it is in fact true. Just sharing the info.....
Looks like my mail was right!

Short answer no.

Just your normal food outlets.

Members with higher categories eg 3121 and coteries have function rooms but "ordinary " members no

How good is the situation when one honestly cannot say one is sure of winning this one?

The pessimist in me is tipping a rueful game, where one and all leave scratching their heads and needing to immediately head to 'the royal' in order to take their minds off it. Something pisspoor like 64 - 46, we get the points...
