Earthquake...a bad omen

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?

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

    '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.

    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

    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 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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
