Is everyone OK? Living in the Japans, earthquakes are pretty regular, but it must have been a real surprise for those not used to them. 😳

Yep. Not sure if the ‘Cat-reaction’ scale is a thing, but mine almost got off the bed! 

Just when you thought Victorians were copping enough already you get an earthquake.

I would still blame Dan Andrews.

Yes that's right, the omen is broken if the grand final isn't played in Melbourne. Case closed, myth busted. 

The earthquake's all good. Just what we needed to get rid of the Norm Smith Curse.

I was at school in 1964 when the Alaskan earthquake struck and it was a doozy. Coincidentally, our teacher was out of class for a little while and we were mucking around near his equipment at the back of the room when one of us slipped and banged on the shelf which caused the needle of his baragraph to go crazy. Teacher came in, saw the graph and spent the rest of the day bragging to the staff that he'd captured the earthquake on his equipment. There was also an earthquake in Buchan, East Gippsland in 1964 so I always connect the year with earthquakes. This is now the icing on quake!


Think we are all jumping at shadows,    take a bex and have a good lie down.   3 sleeps to go then get antsy.

'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!

Done

Near mt buller , ski gods angry no dees supporters skiing

It was the stampede of Demon supporters heading home in their 4 wheel BMW's that caused it.

 

( By the way, apparently the epicenter was at Licola, a small town which is at the gateway of a gradual ascent to Lake Tarli Karn, Mount Tamborith, Mount Wellington, and Wonongatta. AS the crow flies, it might be 35 k, but to drive to Mount Buller from there  makes it a 4 hour, 179 to 205 K journey.)

Mine was very rattled. My wife and our dog were on a walk nearby and didn't feel a thing...Though she heard a roar which she assumed was a nearby train...

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

Oh Gawwd THE SKY IS FALLING! 😵 Soothsayers, Mystics, Smoke and Mirrors and Harlots in hell! Err I dont believe in Omens!

The game is ours.
We have never lost a GF in the days following a 5.8 earthquake, while in lockdown over Covid, in the week of protestors taking over the city and West Gate Bridge, while the Premier is missing, thought  fled to China. 
 

I thought the rise of the demons would coincide with earthquakes, world wide pandemics, environmental climate changes and rioting on the street. 

 

Reckon it is a great sign. bring on Armageddon

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?

Get lost Mfcss board member, are we playing the 2000 Essendon  side back from the past in a time machine

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
