It’s like that Xmas Eve when I was a kid and I was sure I was going to get a Mongoose BMX with pegs. Very exciting. Come Xmas Day I got some lime green BMX from Kmart I had to assemble myself. I put it together and ghosted it down Jells Road (Possibly the steepest hill in Melbourne?) 

Worst.Xmas.Ever. 

Did you put the piece of cardboard in the spokes with a clothes peg?

    I was 12 years old on a lime green BMX that had cartoon animal decals on it. There was no way I was going to draw extra attention to myself by making it make extra noise.

    You were lucky! We used to dream of having a lime green BMX with cartoon animal decals. Luxury.

    Dropped my Suzuki T 250 on that bloody hill, took ages to get it back upright. Any Demonlanders in Berlin

    While I’m interested in anyone who grew up in Glen Waverley, I’m being a spoiler and making a football observation!

    Why do umpires never pay over the mark against Hawthorn or the Swans last weekend.

    Last night fourth quarter in last 5-10 minutes, commentator actually called Hawk player for metre over the mark, the fact he’d taken three steps seemed a lot more than a metre. But Hawthorn players are always over the mark and never get pinged!

    Why?

    Do you need to ask? The answer is obvious.

    If we win both games from here, we likely finish 5th or 6th (depending on results in the GWS-Sydney and Sydney-Hawthorn games).

    We can still make the top 4 (for those still playing that game) - we need us to win both, Sydney to beat GWS but lose to Hawthorn, and then either Hawthorn loses to St Kilda or Collingwood loses to Fremantle so that we can pass them on 14 wins with our percentage. That means we can theoretically still finish as high as 3rd. 

    If we win just one game, we'll likely finish 6th-8th (depending largely on what happens with Geelong's percentage and then the results of the GWS-Sydney and Sydney-Hawthorn games).

    If we lose both games, we'll finish 8th if Port lose to Essendon and North lose one game. We'll finish 9th if only one of things happens (i.e. if Port wins or if North wins both). We'll finish 10th if neither of those things happens (i.e. Port wins and North wins both).

    I believe now this works as follows:

    1. If we win both we finish 5th (4th if Fremantle upsets Collingwood) and we host Geelong (unless they somehow lose to GC)
    2. If we win one but lose the other we'lll likely finish 8th. If our win is against WC then we'll play GWS, if our win is against GWS then we'll play the loser of Sydney-Hawthorn
    3. If we lose both but scrape into the finals (requires North to lose a game and Port to lose to Essendon), then we finish 8th and we get GWS unless Fremantle beats Collingwood, in which case we'd get Collingwood.

    A friend of mine at school was killed riding a bike in Jells Road. He was aged around 10 years from memory. A truck hit him.

    I remember that hill on Jells Road

    I wasn’t from the area, but a couple of guys i was studying with in the 80’s were. Gave them a lift home many times, that hill was scary, my Rotary was screaming in 2nd gear!!!

    they had an off night and still won. We at the MFC can only dream such scenario’s. 

    It will be forgotten about by Monday afternoon 

    Clarkson looked savage on that result. Nothing will be forgotten by Monday.

    Incidentally, if the Saints were paid the 50 metre penalty they deserved with about one minute 30 left on the clock Clarkson would have been in an even darker mood. Amazing that umpires are red hot on players in the 'protected zone' even when they are clearly trying to avoid interfering with play, yet they don't pay the age old 50 metre penalties that are so often there for stepping a metre or two over the mark.

    Saints needed a lucky break...like an umpire doing the job properly...and didn't get it.

    Fair enough. Didn’t see the game, just followed the scores. 

    Still reckon after a monday morning review, it will be forgotten. 

    Whorethorn always move forward. Lucky pricks

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
