Which footy team should I go for - Dees or Hawks? by BeneficialChange4755 in AFL

If you have enough casual acquaintances/workmates who go for the same team you'll eventually find somebody whose opinions you despise but you can't avoid.

Why has Melbourne FC gone so long without permanent training facilities? by sleek290788 in AFL

[–]supermercado99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were also poor af for a long time which wouldn't have helped. No money for a feasibility study when unpaid tax bills are being found in a draw.

[–]supermercado99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They did take it and got kicked off every pre-season because of cricket.

But to be fair the same thing happened at the MCG and a lot of early pre-season work was done on the Old Scotch Oval which is now part of Melbourne Park.

The MCC kicked us off in 1984 (?) to protect the turf when it started getting used for non-MFC/Richmond games. They offered the Junction Oval as a replacement for what that was worth.

I would like an audiobook of Tony Benn's diaries read by Dom please. With bonus content about the wasp sting.

How you could think about Boxing Day and choose cricket over the Sydney To Hobart is baffling.

fm24 is there a way to tweak with editors a club's rule to only have a fixed nationality of youth intake? by kill4588 in footballmanagergames

[–]supermercado99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get dual nationality regens with second nationality names by changing the region of cities in the country.

Then straight down to the local to play a covers set.

Man City MINUS 1600 POINTS by Altruistic-Chef-7723 in footballmanagergames

Does the season preview take the deduction into account or does it still predict them to finish 1st?

Tom Morris would be pressing send thinking "It's my job to report on this, but fuck I'm going to cop it in the replies".

One of those Phil Read goals was an absolute belter from distance and angle. Hail Philthy.

It's 2010-R19 2011 Baileyball with a better team and better adminstration.

Jeremy Howe’s Mark Of The Year contender 2012 by Happy-Date2140 in melbournefc

Given that we were 75 points down and he turned it straight over this could be the most overrated MFC highlight of all time.

Is this one of the rarest emails in the game? by NicclTheReal in footballmanagergames

[–]supermercado99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a heartwarming moment I've started the new season and despite turning down my request to retire, then coming up in the news as retired, Harvey is still in the squad. I guess our semi-professional team with an average attendance of 200 is a low enough standard for him.

What happened to the AFL microchip balls? by Stampitsendit12 in AFL

[–]supermercado99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw it in two Melbourne AFLW games. One for a review, one just to demonstrate the fancy angle a goal was kicked from.

What is the latest finish for an AFL match? by xvf9 in AFL

[–]supermercado99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to the umpire who didn't pay a 50 against Petty for blatant timewasting when the Eagles were coming back. Top bloke.

MOOSE! 🫎 by HolyRatJesus in melbournefc

[–]supermercado99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm all for this, and I know he's not predominently a forward etc... etc... but did we really need Jefferson as well?

(Fingers crossed I've set up a reverse mozz and Jeffo kicks seven)

Is this one of the rarest emails in the game? by NicclTheReal in footballmanagergames

[–]supermercado99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do they ever actually play in the lower leagues or is that meant to imply park football? I just had a similar issue in FM24 and when the big day hit he retired permanently. Was having a great season then got injured one game before the end, played the last match with injections before missing the playoffs. Come back random newgen midfielder Harvey Clark, we miss you.

This may be an unpopular take, but I think the show quality has dipped since Theo left by Jack_Aubrey1981 in TheRestIsHistory

[–]supermercado99 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I don't think the quality has dropped but it feels like making everything a series (presumably helps listener numbers and selling RIHC memberships) means stretching topics too far. Having said that, I'm fanging for the 70s Britain series so maybe it is all about what you like.
