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!


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

Near mt buller , ski gods angry no dees supporters skiing



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.

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.

  • 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.
