The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games opening ceremony is now precisely six months away. 
 
This is a highly significant fact for Melbourne fans because the last time that the games were held in Tokyo was in 1964 and we know what happened in that year, don’t we?'

It was even more significant the last time the Olympics were in Melbourne (1956). We beat Collingwood by twelve goals in front of 116K people at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (when it was our home ground and nobody else’s)! ?

               
MEL 2.4 (16) 6.11 (47) 10.16 (76) 17.19 (121)
COL 3.3 (21) 4.3 (27) 5.6 (36) 6.12 (48)
 

How very comforting to know that every time in the past that the Summer Olympics have been held in Tokyo, the Demons have saluted. Could someone get the 2020 premiership flag pole ready?

2000 also springs to mind

... and 1900, 1940 (Olympic Year but cancelled due to war), 1948, 1956, 1960 and of course 1964. And we also made our last two grand finals in Olympic years.

The AFL needs to get the AFLW into the Olympics in 4 Yrs time,  as an exhibition game.

 It could be a very good way of growing Aussie Rules internationally.

They wouldn't be in our league.!  CBD. ?

BBO is organising the lighting of the flame.

Apparently it involve a schoolgirls underwear purchased from a vending machine.

He has been been travelling around Tokyo in ladies clothes on the train system.

"Just trying to get a feel of the place" according to his postcard.

 

 

The San Francisco 49ers are in next week’s Super Bowl and they have an offensive guard called “Tomlinson”. How’s that for an omen?

Yep , all we need now is a Democratic landslide, another gulf of Tonkin incident , a re-release of Goldfinger and The Bettles back topping the charts and I’ll be convinced that the Norm Smith curse will finally be lifted in 2020 !

Now that it appears the Olympics are likely to be postponed for 12 months, I’m more confident that we’ll win next year’s flag.

Yes and break the odd year curse.

hardly a curse - 5 on odd numbers, 7 on even numbers

with 5 runners-up all on even numbers

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
