I wonder where Jeff Farmer is in all this?

He was so happy at the ‘G in 2018 I would have thought he would have been part of the celebrations this year.

    Well being in WA he obviously aint coming to VIC.  I thought Garry might have flushed him out.  Someone posted that Jeff had painted his garage door RednBlue.

    Anyone seen the OX?

    Kicked 23 goals in his first 6 games.  I can still 'see' that mark where he sat on Milanes back for like 5 minutes at Artic park.  Magnificent.

    Who are the others in the photo?

    Both were at the G for the Premiership celebrations and figured in the Congo line delivery of the Cup to Neiter and The Rev for the handover.

    I must admit photos of ex players give me immense pleasure.  Most players had no choice, they were drafted or zoned to the Dees whereas I could have walked away anytime.  In my own very small way I feel responsible for 57 years of misery.

    They say past players associations are really strong at unsuccessful clubs because that is all there is. No premierships....Then again if Rod Grinter rang me up I would think twice about saying no.

    And some players left the club not on the best of terms, and to see them so happy fills my heart with pure joy.

    7 against North (on debut?) and 7 the following week against the Pies on Anzac Day

    This was in 1991 when we also had Darren Bennett up forward and Jakovich dominating later in the year.

    Al Nicholson is on the right: who are the other 3?

    I assume that's Grgic on the left maybe Hopgood next to him? Don't know about the last one.

    Friends, will we ever hear from Big Carl who was our last captain-coach?

    I know that we share him with the Aints but it would be so good to hear from Big Shadow!

    • 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.
