Official Match Thread SEASON 40, ROUND 16: Wonders FFC vs Dragons FFC at The Colosseum

[Pamcake1]

Morning Melbs Report;

Sun's trying to get out from behind the clouds, no wind (yay) expecting an ok day ahead.
Too early for traffic, give it 15 mins for nmayhem to begin.

Queen Victoria Market weekly shop done and home by 6.30am.
If you're in Melbs go there, it's been too quiet for the traders ever since the replacement of the tram stops on the corner of Victoria & Elizabeth Streets cut business for 3 solid weeks.
George my green grocer there (88 YO) says business has been lousy.
I hope it picks up for them going into the silly season, they need lots of business to make up for the disruption.

Haven't had breakfast yet, coffee yes. normally i have my Friday special breakfast of a Croque Monsieur bought at the QVM. Which i have but it hasn't jumped into the oven yet.
i've unpacked the shopping, watered the garden with seasol but i'm tired, it's been a massive and difficult week.

We're finally at Friday!
Have a great day ahead everyone.

374 Pipers making Melbs proud:



And a reminder today at Fed Square:

Great to awaken to no tags overnight.

 

[BFew]

Completely forgot to post/read this game thread.
Just realised it was only 2 days to match day.
Can't believe I didn't come in here at least yesterday to slay a few more dragons.

Been busy elsewhere on BigFooty?

 

[BFew]

holy fuycking oops

BFew: Hi boss
Ressie:

Need to put a recurring daily reminder in my Qiary to read/post in the SFA Wonders match thread.

Too busy Aurora pics hunting again last night despite still being a bit viral (felt well enuf to actually drive somewhere coastal ... should have taken my fishing rod, as there were no bright lights in the sky apart from incoming aircraft to Syd Airport).

Had a bit of good Hex earlier in the weak, until I outed a Bomber, and then got silenced by the mob.
Then got side-tracked in a graveyard for much of yesterday

Quality shit post

Talking of quality.
I started a quality 99c smallish Avo yesterday (from my local fruit/vegie market shop).

Having one this good in a match week when we are playing you, is a clear sign that you are going to have a good week.

Wish our market was as good as the QVM!!!!

 

[Pamcake1]

Wish our market was as good as the QVM!!!!

It's becoming a shadow of it's former self, as the MCC has now sold off the storage sheds on the southern boundary to private developers (3 towers are going up there, over shadowing the market), the MCC are then going to turn the at grade carpark into a 'skate park and venue space' which disadvantages any bulk shoppers like me or older shoppers (we just lost that battle in the courts and with the federal govt planning regs) and the ongoing 8 year works between the meat/fish section and the vegie section have made it really difficult for the traders.
We've (the Save the QVM Group) fought the MCC all the way on the inappropriate (read stupid) way they are doing the 'infrastructure' and the land grab sell off but the lands worth too much and they a greed ridden developers and their puppets that mainly sit on the Melb City Council.

It will still exist but probably will eventually become a generic shopping mall full of franchises and glorified food hall.
I've been going there all my life (since I was in a pram), it's was one of the best freash food markets in the world, I could cry with what it's become but it's still better than any of the fake farmers markets that mushroom in the inner city suburbs.

Sth Melbourne Market is the only one that still survives as it always has been.
Prahran Market was destroyed by chi-chi developers.
Preston Market has been sold off to developers and that has been fought hard for by the locals for it to survive, it's now on a 5 year suspension of total development but we will see what the 'master plan' actually is.

Where is your market jezzajay ?

George arrived here in Melb's in 1956 and has two of his sons working with him, wife died last year.
George, told me this morning that the weather's playing havoc with his arthritis and not to get old.
He is a treasure and a true legend.

Looking forward to the game already.

I found some of your family just now already queuing up outside the Colosseum for front row seats on Sunday.
So I went and put reserved signs on some front row seats for them, next to the tunnel that leads to the away teams change rooms.
