If you watch Harmes, he always looks like he is sore when he walks, I think it's just his gait.

 

It's the Hogan shuffle

    At the game on Friday I had my binocs on the players at 3/4 time (they looked buggered) and after the game ... after the game they had a shining beatific look. Like joy, but deeper and more spiritual.

    And after training today they spent considerable time signing autographs, taking pics with the kiddies, chatting. The looks on some of their faces! It was like Football Christmas for them. Weid in particular looked like he was having the time of his life. Surely they were thinking, this is what it's all about. Gee it was great to see them getting some first hand reward from the fans for their efforts. Long may it continue.

    Incidentally Tracc was slotting his goals but boy he looked tentative doing it. As long as they go through, Tracc!

    GO DEMONS!!!!!!!

    You were right about Richmond (SEN were wrong) but Collingwood had a big crowd there.

    Boys practicing some spirals. Even if we don't employ the tactic again it's nice to know - and let West Coast know - that we are happy to have it in our kit-bag. If Gawn were to track toward the centre-circle at a kick-in for instance, I'm sure he'll attract a lot of attention - opening options elsewhere. An an early 'chaos' torp from the middle into the forward line would cause some double-guessing for their defensive set-up. Like it.

    When will someone let Gus know that hair is not ok.

    Why do you think his mum makes him wear the helmet?

    I am passionate enough of a supporter to admit to getting a “twinge” looking at those pics!

    At my age, that is akin to a religious miracle!

    I also experienced an unfamiliar pulsation.

    So this is what supporting a successful team feels like? (before you howl me down, I know it's only 4 wins on the trot)

    If it ends in Purf it's still been a great year to be a D supporter

    You must be very passionate indeed if you get a "twinge" out of this picture.

    That's a lie. I don't wear Country Road.

    • 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.
