Anyone living in Victoria likely felt an earthquake about 15 minutes ago. Apparently 5.6 on the Richter scale with its epicentre 33 km south of Mt Buller. But that last fact is not the omen. Perhaps others may also recall that on Brownlow Medal night 2000, Melbourne also had a minor earth tremor. And how did that week work out?

When was the last time Melbourne won a flag the week of an earthquake? 
We are doomed 

Apparently it was just Jack Viney tackling a semi-trailer 

nothing to see here

Wow...lucky it didn't happen on Brownlow night then or we would be screwed....

Dodged a bullet there.

Just started another thread on this...mods feel free to delete mine.

 

'morning all,

If you just felt earthquake shaking if would be really useful to the brilliant *cough* researchers at Geoscience Australia  if you could fill in a 'felt report' when you get the time.

Cheers, and stay safe!

Sounds like a good omen to me. #raisehell #giveemhell

I live in Mansfield and that was very interesting. Noise was the most amazing thing, very loud. Have had one aftershock, just a window rattler. No damage that I can see. On the positive side in 1964 there was a big earthquake in Alaska

I'm from the Glenroy,( Northern suburbs) the bloody whole house shook🤬

Is optus stadium ok?

It was Norm Smith finally letting go The Curse ….

Lid is finally off.

 

Reckon even the [censored] gods are bored with the 2 week build up

This is a positive, it was the spirit of Norm Smith letting us know he's fired up for Saturday.  

If we were playing the Giants, where there's a big big sound from the west of the town, then I'd call that an omen.

If the doggies are anything like my dog, they ran scared.

I think he is still clinging to it.

They re not alone, however it has no doubt helped May recover.

I think it's great that the MFC or Gill arranged the earthquake so that we could take our minds off the footy for a couple minutes. This stretch of time is driving me nuts

This is what happens when they take Grand Final Week away from Victoria.
Everyone knows that this week Melbourne (the city) is supposed to be the centre of all news.

Yesterday - protests in the city. Today -  an earthquake. Tomorrow?

Lucky it’s in Perth. There’s no way we could rebuild the G by Saturday. 

When we win our noise will be so much bigger
