Gees I love talking footy at the moment... I wear Dees hats most days or Dees socks and they generate fellow Dees fan interactions or other footy fans "You still talking footy after the Grand Final... time to move on?"... Uhm no, why no it is not time to move and and who do you support so I can talk chit about your club..

Gotta stay in the moment, ready for the interactions, when we parade thus, Cards (my 2021 member cap has been somewhat of a fixture 😀) Yesterday - anonymously cap-less this time - I saw a bloke with a Knight Premiers T-shirt and went across to him, pointed to his chest and gave a big thumbs up. Took him several seconds, and another point, to twig.

TR-A’B: a big thumbs up and two finger points to the guy’s chest.

Did E Wood play a stinker or what?  Who was the Dogs backline coach?

As I posted near the time, waaaaaaay back, somewhere, the mannerism of the hand and the finger at the neck was a hint of a 'disability', and the other bloke a caring brother or some such. The 'age' of the reaction didn't seem to align with the 'age' of the person.

Regardless, it was an iconic moment, speaking volumes for us all, whatever our emotional or physical ages. Thank you, sir. 

I thought exactly the same thing as you.

Don’t watch me at the footy then. There’s age inappropriate reactions happening everywhere. 

Anyone looking for some time to kill during during isolation or just wanting a general pick me up I highly recommend reading through the GF matchday threads on opposition boards on BigFooty. I read through the Bulldogs one the other night and it was heartwarming to see how quickly they went from "we've got this, Melbourne are [censored]" to "uh-oh I think we're in trouble" to "**** we've [censored] the bed here" to "no one could match them, Melbourne were unstoppable"

The Carlton and Richmond board threads were pretty funny in their own ways, it was a joy to read the Hawks supporters realising how far away their midfield was from competing with the best (IE OURS!!!) the St Kilda thread was just depressing I felt a kinship with them after reading through that misery (Petracca winning the Norm Smith just to rub it in) and really hope they can break their drought soon.

Looking forward to killing time reading through the Essendon and Collingwood threads, the Geelong one should be hilarious too.

Watching the GF so many times, I'm now appreciating some of the more overlooked moments, like this one attached. It's a little hard to see, but I think that Oliver basically flies along horizontally over the top of fallen and flailing Bulldogs, grabs the ball and handballs it mid-air in a breathtaking display of skill and focus. Amazing ninja level stuff.

He was closer in the Battle of the Dos, but B Fritsch had his measure there, too.

Yea same here. They have suffered like us.

I think a lot of people were happy for us to win a flag but I reckon that will all change this year.

Glad to be the hunted this year. Will really test our strength, both mental and physical to repeat 2021"s success.

It wouldn’t have mattered what changes they made we blew them off the park.!!

It was great to get back home from holidays last night and watch that last 40 minutes again, slept very soundly.!!

I reckon we'll get one year of respect, and if we're good enough to go back to back then we'll cop it for the next 5 or so years.

I personally loved how my friends were giving it to me for going to one cup holding event and the main one on Dec 5, this was apparently over doing it.

Love how easy it was to forget we were in lock down around GF as well.

Had a little break down Apollo Bay over xmas/New years, the old ducks in the front were giving it to me, I remembered they were Cats nuffies... Geeez I had a fun 20 mins before they "had to go.."

Yes, it's a terrible thing being premiers, and having all these celebratory events to go to.

Ask them why they didn't go to their club's 2021 premiership events.

Did you tell them Max sends his best?

I used to get worried about hawkins when we played them. They must have nightmares about Gawnie.

I usually dump Fox Footy over the summer but kept it this year to watch the GF over and over and over.......

Every time i watch it i see great things i had missed in prior viewings.

Make no mistake.
We were hunted throughout the whole of last year.
Every-one wants to take down the undefeated mob sitting on top of the ladder.
And with our reputation of choking when the pressure's applied they all thought they could be the ones to do it. 
This year we need to put that reputation to rest once and for all.
Put the foot on their throats early and keep it there.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
