My crew prefer to have our keg party just before Christmas.  We call it "Barrels By Candlelight".

I’m not sure if this works. I hope so, it’s a great read!

It's fantastic, if slightly indulgent reading! Especially if you read the doom and gloom posts during the third quarter which flip on their heads in an instant (I think we all know when that happens - Go Harmesy 😏)!

🙋🏻‍♂️I must confess: I was one of those doom and gloom posters. I was on the front porch, smoking a cigarette and crying. I think I even posted that I was done for the night. 😬

Yep, Go Harmesy! And thanks a bunch Bailey Smith!

Great to see this thread going strong

Fond memories from 2021 but I haven’t looked at a replay or any snippets for a while now. My mind has turned to 2022 and our quest for back-to-back flags. I can’t wait to get back to the G for the games

Go Dees

I live in Northcote too. 

Nice day for it !! Have one (or several) for me.

When people watch the replay do you just fast forward to halfway through the 3rd quarter because from then on it's just great viewing or do you watch it from the start and fast forward through the dogs goals?

When time permits I watch from the start. Watching the Dogs’ goals and seeing them take the lead makes the turning of the tide in the third SO much sweeter. ❤️💙

Hadn't seen it for month or so myself.
Watched the last 10 mins of the 3rd last night ..... Twice.
Still awesome.

I tend to watch from the start.  I never fast forward.

Thank God Bruce did not commentate the 2021 GF. I just heard him in one of the Richmond premierships: "Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, YES YES YES YES!!!!"

As bad as BT is,  at lease there is none of this super-heated crap with a strange agenda.

Most times I just need a quick hit over the slow burn.
Best part is we can pick how quick the hit is.
Time to kill .... Whole game.
Time for the good stuff ...1st, 3rd and last qtr.
Snack before bed ... Last 10mins of the 3rd.
Sheesh it's late, better go to bed .... Last minute and a half of the 3rd.
Sweet dreams baby 👹🏆

Was just reading the game day thread.

It's a fascinating insight to the raw emotion of many of us . Like the granny it's a roller coaster ride.

Yeah I read it too.
There's some gold in there 😂

I'm abit disappointed I didn't post during the game for prosterity.
But I was far too wound up.
I didn't watch any of the pre match and even missed the opening bounce.
Didn't get my timing quite right 😥

I didnt post much as I was too stressed. I also really thought we had lost it at the 19 point down mark. 

But I was so excited at the comeback I started banging on the walls and almost put a hole in them.

I reckon there would have been the random supporter who cracked it and stormed out half way through the 3rd quarter onlyl to return at 3/4 time or even later to think WTF!!!!!!!!! has happened!!!!!!

I watched the first 5 minutes watched them miss a couple of shots, saw the Dogs attack, retreated to my computer to write great litracha. I checked the score at half time and tried to console myself with, Ah, well, they've come a long way. I then checked with about ten minutes to play, nearly fell outa my chair and raced back to the telly....

Nearly went with that myself 😎
Settled on Gawnys Guns.
Running with Gawn, Oliver, Trac, Salem, Sparrow and Dogga so far.
Ran with Lever last year instead of Salem.
Still might get a guernsey.
I'd love a rookie or 2 from the red an blue.

Fair enough. Could be right. No team -winning GF plays together in Game 1 next season so likely soemone will go out.

I watched a few of last season's games this week of significance, esp the big ones like with the cats, Tiges  and bombers.  I saw Hunt break up many attacks and rebound well with Langers. Personally I hope he is on the ground for the flag raising in 5 1/2 weeks time.

I was at Ceres yesterday, the other side of the mighty Merri Creek and again today, although I did at one point cross the border and had a coffee in a little coffee shop near the bottom of beavers road. Pity I didn't read this yesterday, I could do with a good dose of Smugness.

You a Northcote boy or just happen to be there yesterday. I'm an old boy ex Northcote High when Ken Emselle was a prefect at the school and Normie Rowe was a pop idol. Those were the days, now the ovals where we used to kick the footy have been eaten up by buildings.

Guys the world authority on footy crowds ( all crowds probably) BT said when it' was 10 mins to go NO ONE has left!
All are waiting for the end of the game etc. 

NO MORE to be said I presume. 
 

PS Channel 7 Sack  BT he talks mainly rubbish. 

I watched the Dees V Bullies first round game on the weekend and I just can't believe just how good Clarry is, he just seems unstoppable.  Weed played a fairly innocuous game but he did get his hands on the ball, he just could't hold his marks, if he had he would have had five or six goals.
