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?’

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
