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!

    '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.)

    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.

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
