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.

    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?’

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
