WAHOO! HERE WE GO!

Yes, I think we all let rip the above vocal celebration as made famous by the red, chubby, Italian plumber known as Mario, or Super Mario (or Mario Mario IYKYK) upon learning that Simon "Goody" "Learnings" "Incredibly Hard" Goodwin had coached his last game at the MFC.

With three games to go we've got Troy Chaplin

taking the reins. We've also got the excitement of a debut with Jed Adams taking the field against the Dogs. Even more exciting, we have absolutely no idea at what end of the ground he's going to line up given we're also taking Petty, Turner, TMac and Howes into the game.

Oh, and guess what? It's Linger's 200th! Yes, for one beautiful Sunday we can be all duck AND all dinner. Go get 'em Ed, ya silly sausage.

Will we see a new game plan? New player positions? Less CONTEST AND DEFENSE? Anything is possible!

Finally, can barrack for the team again. Reckon we'll either steal a win or lose by 80+.

Agree. We will definitely win or lose

 

[stEdy]

It could be a draw

 

[Daemon]

Just like a Melbourne coach sacking, DP has gone quite early here.

 

[Proper Gander]

It could be a draw

No I’ve ruled that out

Since the preview thread 2 weeks ago I've been smashing through Super Mario 3 on the SNES emulator

Working on getting Mario 64 on an N64 emulator, I have one on my laptop but it's in the study, need one I can hook up to the main tv.

Footrace with Koopa the Quick incoming!

not fussed about the result, would just like to see a few changes from Goodyball.

I was playing Super Mario Wonder which is really good but I've given it a bit of a break for now, and started up on HOLLOW KNIGHT instead, very fun game.

My shoulder is really very sore, FYI.

I like that in Mario Oddysey once you finish and unlock Princess Peach Island you get to race lots of Koopas. There is one power star that I’ve never been able to get though and it’s driving me nuts. You need to climb on top of the castle, ride yoshi and do this manoeuvre where you launch off a turret with Yoshi’s sticking tongue to get the height but I’ve never got the angle right so eventually I jump off and chase the rabbit or talk to the Goomba stacks

This game feels analogous to our upcoming game against the Western Bulldogs!

There are similarities between Sam Darcy and an 8-Goomba stack

First game since late 2023 I haven't desperately wanted us to lose. Strange feeling.

That was a Goomba stack

I’ve been playing Cuphead on the switch lately, great platformer based on the style of 1920/30s cartoons, highly recommend!
