My kids asked me what unfurl means!

A good lot of our supporters would also not know what it means. After Wednesday I hope we all get used to that word in the future.

I’ve already got seven copies of this and I haven’t even bought the paper. 

Footy-wise, I’m the black sheep around here. Well, the red and blue sheep. 🙂Today is a continuation from the fortnight leading up to the GF. The elderly locals went nuts. Every day I’d be given anything and everything Dees from the HS and The Age and even the local Leader newspaper. And since I’m too polite to say, ‘Thanks, but I already have 48 of those,’ I now have enough to wallpaper my entire house. Twice. And still have leftovers. 😁

My neighbour walked in holding a newspaper clipping yesterday ,covered by a tissue so his hands didn't touch it, saying he was going to trash it but reluctantly thought of me. Already up on the window for him to see. FILTH SUPPORTER. He is so not looking forward to this season.

In a world of 'fake news' and streaming of information to specific audiences, I really hope the GF telecast wasn't some wildly elaborate CGI hoax.

In a Truman Show style prank the producers would never have let us win. Best storyline would have been to come back from the dead then blow the three quarter time lead. For this reason I'm almost certain that it actually happened and I'm not being strung along in an elaborate scam.

I think what's happening is we're trapped in a living nightmare, where, against all the odds, we made the grand final against highly rated opponents, and having worked our behinds off to get in front, just needed one more goal to seal the deal. In a kind of devil's bargain, we got that one more goal, while watching our opponents roll over us in a goal avalanche of unprecedented proportions, which will see the grand final we were in go down as an all time classic, regardless of the blowout margin. It will be watched and talked about for years, especially the final minute of the third quarter where it didn't slip away from us, it was wrenched with a force we were helpless to resist., with all our shortcomings laid bare And now we've had 5 months for the horror of it to fully sink in, only to find ourselves up against that same opponent in our very next match. No wonder we're getting precious about a song. It's all we've got to hang on to.

I want to feel sorry for Bulldogs supporters, but I sat through 2 seasons of Mark Neeld. It was a MUCH worse nightmare.

This is spooky. I was given Bob Murphy’s book a few years ago, but didn’t really feel like reading it at the time. After we won the GF I picked it up - I think I probably would have felt jealous reading it before then.

Here’s how he describes the moment he knew the Bulldogs had won the flag. How those words came back to haunt the Bullies six years later.

What happens after he says shiny a few times?

It sounds like Wiggins with the headmaster in a Derek & Clive routine.

Forgot to mention but I walked past Jack Watts as I was leaving, he was heading in to the Presidents function. Pleased to see him there as a supporter.

Hands up.
Who's watched the Grand Final since the season started?

Had cause to feel a bit antsy about something. 
Three goals in 31 seconds resolved it

I'm having a quiet arvo at work today so I just re-watched the Momentum mini doc.  It brings out the emotion of the game and what happened behind the scenes superbly and I found the tears of joy welling up again.

Haven't watched it but have listened to the radio calls of both the prelim and GF 😎

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_VFL/AFL_premiers

 

So in my opinion we actually sit clear 4th on all time AFL/VFL Premierships, we have the best winning ration out of Richmond and Hawthorn by far at 13/5, Only Brisbane has won 3 x as many as they have lost and that is off a small sample size. But the table clearly has forgotten to include AFLX, so our score should read 13.1

Oh and I have an average of watching GF highlights twice a week.

There's a great video up on youtube of highlights of the coaches mic's throughout the game

Yeah, that’s the ‘sound the alarm’ vids on the AFL website of snippets of all 4 qtr. we allowed a lot, the Dogs not so much…

Not much from the Dogs box, for example [censored]! damn! [censored]! they are too good for us, [censored]! [censored]! etc.

Not much else to say really. 
Seriously i think Beveridge was in shock

Happy seven month anniversary everyone.

Has anyone found a video of the two Geelong games (Round 23 and PF) with a KROC commentary. That would round out my collection so well.

The Perth MMM commentary is sublime

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

      • Thanks

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
