THE DROUGHT IS OVER

Still seems hard to fathom at times, even if I have watched the replay over forty times.

    I still, at least once a day, shake my head and marvel at what happened on that sweet, sweet night in September. Maybe it will completely register when round 1 rolls around. Maybe it never will. Regardless, it’s our premiership, and nothing can change that. Nor can anyone take it away. ❤️💙

    So deliriously happy about our flag that I made a typo. 😱

    My dvd player is getting an absolute flogging (like  vs GCS).

    And did you know that the Ch 7 commentators never say Dees have hit the front?  What an opportunity wasted.

    And how is this for BT nonsense - The reason why the crowd has so many Dees/Dogs supporters is because they followed these teams b4 the Eagles entered the comp. (Um that was 35 years ago)

    Nothing to do with memberships been shared across the country or handouts of team colours.

    Hmmnn .... Though I've been to a few neutral Grand Finals and cheered for opposition clubs you wouldn't ever see me in their colours whether they handed them out or not.

    At dinner tonight up in Airlie beach in far north qld with my two daughters…..and there was another Dees family!!
    The dad was wearing his premiership cap… my 12 year old daughter was in her “give ‘em hell” tshirt and I had my premiership face mask….he walked passed us and yelled go Dees!!!

    Loved it 😍 ❤️💙

    who would’ve thought that would ever happen in FNQ?!?

    Scene: Yesterday; long, rather remote, deserted SW Gippy beach (aka Paradise btw...)

    Two dots grow bigger to each other from their respective ends of this picture of isolation (the nice kind...), finally closing to conversation distance, and realisation...

    Dees-capped him: 'Great to see another Melbourne supporter!'

    Dees-capped me: 'Yes! Hey hey!'

    Snappy.

    🤦‍♂️

    For a break I’m watching one of my favourite three pre covid games. 
    2000 QF win v Carlton. 
    Green, Bruce and Yze in the last Q. 
     

    My other 2 favourites are in 1994 Final when Ox had a day out v Carlton. 
     

    And 1988 Prelim at VFL Park when we stopped Carlton going back to back. 
     

    Now there’s consequences and penalties for cheating, Carlton have had no success

    88 Prelim.

    Garry Lyon Torp that went 80 metres.

    Pissing down with rain, cold and 5th row from the fence and didn't care.

    Please tell me this was done in slow motion, running towards each other with outstretched arms, before twirling around and falling into the sand together, as waves washed over the two of you.

    Today I was listening to the 3AW call while in the shed.
    Got into the 3rd qtr and Bont just kicked his 3rd.
    I think Lloyd stated that the dogs had kicked 8goals to 1 since qtr time.
    How often had we got off to a good start over the years to be dominated for the rest of the game.
    Man ... No wonder I was in a dark tunnel at the time watching the game live.
    "C'mon .... Not in the forkin' Grand Final."

    I turned it off.
    Will listen to the rest tomoz when I start weeding the yard.
    Hope we make a comeback.

    Hoping someone can help me, I'm looking for some photos of Christian Salem from the GF and I just can't find any.

    Maybe I'm just not looking in the right spot and maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

    It can be a single shot, or a shot with a group where he features prominently. Thanks in advance.

    Just nicked out to the shed and turned on the radio again for 5mins.
    It's now 3/4 time and I've come back inside with chills up my spine.
    Mind-blowing game.

    The place I drive past is in the back streets of Everton Park. Gives me a rye smile of contentment every time.

    If I recall, you were going to listen while weeding.

    'Weeding'. Hmmmm...

    Mind blowing indeed.

    • 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.
