Not saying.

What, she can't talk? Untie her Uncle.

 

Yep i cried and screamed and went fuckinh crazy.

Yes, yes I did. Sobbed when we missed out last year during the Eagles-Crows match, different type of tears this time!


MY eyes watered but didn't leak. There was a lot of looking around in random directions and quite a bit of pacing back and forward aimlessly.

As I was leaving a West Coast supporter up at the bar stopped and shook my hand and wished me/us good luck. In my delierium I swear he looked like Glen Jakovich, or possibly Thanos.

What I've found most interesting is the repeated pattern all night of sometimes just stopping and looking around me, like I needed to do a quick check reality was in tact.

 

I dropped a few tears watching the Highlights package. 

Game wasn’t shown in Asia. I will be home for next week and beyond....

I love music, but I never realised what a beautiful sound the siren makes at the end of a footy game, particularly this one. So proud of the guts and commitment shown today. No tears but a very big lump in the throat. Can't mix it with the big boys eh?

I live in Perth so extra thrill for me to beat the weagles on their own dunghill.Twice in a row.

Better watch my car with MFC plates at the shops tomorrow, last year someone decided to slash one of my tyres.


I just felt emotionally drained man, like i'd been in a 2 hour argument with the missus. Chest still heavy after the siren. So no tears from me, I think if we win a final like we did in 94 or 2000 and i saw my family celebrrating then yes, tears will come.

No tears after the siren but very emotional.

I nearly lost it when I told my 6 yr old over the phone that we are playing finals. His reaction was something I won't forget in a long time.

Top of the morning people! How many of you have barely had any sleep? It’s gonna be a tough Monday!

Ditto. Whatever though, that’s what Demonland is for!

Was banned again from the TV room by my wife

She is a long time supporter 50 plus years but she remains calm and aloof

Dont know how she does it but this is the 6th banning this year my record is getting worse 

She is now considering a life time ban  Thank heavens for Demonland Nasher I agree!

No tears, but it was the first time I sang the team song with my 3yo son. I'm not one to belt it out unless I'm at the ground, but I couldn't help myself after that win.

  • 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.
