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. 
    THE GUY: “Security!”

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
