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.

    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 😎

    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.

    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

    • 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?
