So just an idea, not particularly novel but thought I'd mention it anyway

I'm watching with a mate in Switzerland and thought what would it look like with a larger crew and i could see reactions from other supporters. 

I am more than a little cautious about possible meltdowns considering how much we love each other generally, but am semi inclined to give it a go.

Any interest?

    There were a lot of reports about the use of Zoom during isolation, especially around conversations being hacked and inappropriate material being displayed by the hackers.

    We would just need to make sure that if anything like this happens, that before we report it we check that it's not @Bitter but optimistic just logging in.

    Would the whole thing not just be people losing their [censored] at OMac?

    The last thing I want to do is sit at home and watch other people watching football. Then again, I’m anti-social and don’t like people, so might just be me.

    Ever see that footage of that time that bloke hijacked the public access channel in Chicago during that episode of Doctor Who (the science fiction show, not the Demonland troll)?  I always assumed a video conferencing call organized by Demonland would be similar to that but Max Headroom and his antics (or something similar to that description) would be displayed on all the Zoom user  screens.

    Underwear minimum! It will be early here in Djibouti, have already made clear to my French family that the big tv is mine for the morning, no japanese anime cartoons etc.

    Zoom, FB, whatsapp, vizeo, not fussed, send a PM if you are keen. So far participants are passionate optimists, whoever wants that particular type of tea.

    Actually had my first Zoom just recently. 
    Wonderful technology.  However I’ll have to work out how to filter out the background “noise” from The Manor’s dungeon

    I beg you to put up a clean virtual background

    I'd give it a go if we covered our faces with our avatars.

    Well, in BBO's case there's no need, I suppose...

    I did a pocket load on that investment. Wish you hadn’t reminded me chook !

    I think this would be a hoot. Watching the reactions of landers’ during a match and at the same time watching them post on the game day thread.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
