    88 Prelim.

    Garry Lyon Torp that went 80 metres.

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

    Got soaked that day. But it was well worth it. 
    12 months earlier was traumatic and still leaves a bad taste today…

    But last September certainly makes a huge difference!!

    Every time I see Nick McCallum (or Clint Stanaway) on the news I wonder if he’s still feelin’ it. Then I think, Of course he is! It’s the Demons!!! 😁❤️💙

    Friends, one thing I have noticed since that immortal night of 25th of September is how much more magnanimous i am towards other clubs and their triumphs. There was once a time when I could not watch Collingwood in the 90GF, or the Handbaggers in 2007 or the Western Bulldogs in 2016 - I was so envious and jealous. Now, I can settle down with You Tube and appreciate their victories for what they are worth - something, yes, something in the scheme of things -, even if none of them approach our canonical 38 seconds or whatever it is.

    Waking down the bay the other day and a kid ran past me with a demons hat on, too quick to give him the Go Dees, but he ran past me when he was going back and this time I did and he gave the Go Dees back and had the biggest smile on his face.

    It was a look of pure joy and I'm so glad that our young supporters are able to smile about their team and not just live in hope like most of us have.

    Will NOT let this thread slip into obscurity. At least not until round one. 
    I was thinking about the whole club culture thing and I remembered something I wanted to share on here. 
    At the GF replay on December 5th after proceedings had wrapped up I got talking to a lovely couple. They told me how they emigrated from England about 20 years ago and at the insistence of friends they became Essendon supporters. 
    They were both decked out head to toe in Demons regalia. I asked them what made them change allegiance and they told me it was when their son started working at the Club. Turns out they’re the parents of Oliver Herd, MFC Footy Analyst. I asked them if he was happy working for the Club and they couldn’t have been more glowing in their praise. They said Oliver absolutely loves his job, and everyone he works with and it’s an awesome environment in which to work. His mum was so proud when she pointed to the coach’s box and said, “he gets to sit up there with the coaches!” She also told me the players are all really nice to him. He even sometimes hangs out with Tracc and Salo socially. He must  like the Christian name Christian. See what I did there?😁

    To answer Tim’s question: yes, LitD did have something to do last Wednesday. It’s not that he forgot about it; he jumped the gun and did it on Tuesday.

    I wish they'd put the FoxFooty post match back on Kayo. 

    They were still in shock after the onslaught. Very watchable.

    One of the fantastic things about the Demons awesome flag victory is no matter what happens during the day since Sept 25, I’m only  3 mins 30 seconds from being deliriously happy again, that snapshot of our 7 goals in the third is just pure joy:

    Harmes to Fritsch

    then Fritsch

    Followed by BBB

    Brayshaw (unbelievable courage)

    Trac - pure skill

    Sparrow - - great goal of a step in a phone booth

    Clarry / Jacko handball perfection

    I’m not sure if we will ever see a better trio of goals, than the last three in 30 plus seconds to finish the quarter!

    Sept 25 to now - everyday has a happy ending 😃

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
