I have watched the GF from start to finish about 30 time. I lost count after 30. I watch the 3rd quarter several times a week. Last Friday evening my wife said "not the GF again". So I compromised and watched the Prelim instead.

    Get a hearse for the curse..

    I will swear on a stack of Bibles I have watched the last half more than 60 times... And guess what !!! WE win each time by 74 points....        On an Umpiring note...  When Viney and later Spargo were pinged in the third Quarter @ the 7:26 min mark of the third ( for Viney) for a high tackle I just felt that the Bulldogs player ran into Viney and that was an unfair decision....

    The worst umpiring was the R23 Geelong game. The "no effort to keep in play rule" was diabolical. Not paid against Selwood in last minute and then paid against Brayshaw just 20 seconds later. Which in some weird "Universe actually likes us" way worked for us because numbnuts from Geelong belted the ball over boundary line and we know the rest. We have never ever had luck like that. We have experienced Umpiring like that (Adelaide 21) but never good luck. 

    Still horrific umpiring that went widely unnoticed. Happy to be corrected if I am wrong.

    Here's an interesting thought. As much as we know every second of the match (well from 3rd Q 16 min mark onwards) by heart, and can recite commentary from at least three different sources, NOT ONE of my Bulldogs mates (and I reckon this is widespread) has watched one second of the match back. They don't even remember the immortal Bang Bang Bang commentary!

    This is exactly the same as me with 1988 and 2000. Was at both, never watched a second back of either one.

    I’ve probs watched the last few minutes of the Round 23 match more than I have bang…bang…bang (which I’ve watched an ungodly number of times). For mine, apart from the actual winning of a premiership, the end of the Round 23 match was the highlight of the season.

    Game Film | It’s Coming Home has copped a hammering too in this house. It’s a better pick-me-up than a couple of espressos if you have ten minutes spare.

    Imagine living in a football world where there's no Petracca From the Top Shelf, no Bang, Bang, Bang, no Despondent Hot Girl, no Daniel and Goliath, no Heart Beating True and Blue, no Daisy correcting BT, no tears on Goody's face on the boundary line, no Bearded Demons Fan in Tears Covering His Throat, no recollection of someone kicking six goals in a GF for the first time in nearly 25 years - that's the life of a Bulldogs fan.

    Once per day with breakfast. only way to start the day. aside from the happiness, two big take aways are. 

    1. the dogs were incredibly lippy when they were 19 points up, then shut up fast. and then called us bad winners? 

    2. Tim English is a putrid footballer.

    You are being too kind to English.

    Sorry mate, trying to tone the insults down, i went pretty hard at port supporters last year, but to be fair, they're pretty gross.

    There was just a ridiculous number of highlights from round 23 on weren’t there! Enough for a whole season. re watched round 23 yesterday and can still feel that utter disbelief i felt back then. To win the minor after the siren is a memory to take with me to the grave… only to be bettered in the GF .

    Still not enough. 

    According to New Order (the band, not the communist newspaper)…

    🎶  It’s never enough. It’s never enough until your heart stops beating.  🎶

    The best thing about this song is its title: “Shell-Shock” 

    It describes how the Dogs looked during Bang Bang Bang. And the hot girl in the crowd and the Mike from Breaking Bad lookalike and the Bailey Smith fan club and my neighbours on either side as well as across the road, to name but a few. 😁

    Same here. I’m sure my TV groans every time I walk into the room. If it could talk it’d probs be like, ‘you know there’s more to me than the GF on YouTube, right?’

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • 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?
