At the G Saturday night with 70000 others enjoying a great concert. 

And the drummer proudly wearing the jumper!  (Apologies for the quality of the photo)  

Hope every one enjoys the break and stays safe

 Go Dees.

    Was a great surprise, and when Billy announced him, I tried on my best ‘Go Dees!’. Got a few laughs only…..not enough Dees supporters there. Brillant gig though…..what a playlist!!!

    It was awesome, I loved the drummer being in a Dees jumper and Billy Joel was brilliant

    Q:  Why do Billy Joel's eyes bulge like they do?

    A:  He STILL can't believe he was married to Christie Brinkley.   Yes, it's an oldie.

    I just posted a similar pic in another thread. I wasn’t there but my friend was and sent sent me the pic.

     I wonder if it’s only while playing in Melb that he wears it.

    It must have been a ripper, frankie! (And from the subsequent posters - and @WalkingCivilWar's buddy - it looks like there won't be any debate this time about which team had the best home-game-at-the-'G support! 😉)

    Your post sent me down the Google rabbit hole: Charles Arnold 'Chuck' Burgi III, American (what else with that name?!) long-time Joel band drummer. No evident connection with the Dees but publicity photos seem to show a penchant for the red and blue (good man!) e.g. Spiderman merch. Possibly a Dees supporter in MCG event management (there'd be a few!😄) was onto this and jumped at the chance?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      The Demons snatched Victory form the Jaws of Defeat as they clawed their way back from 43 points down to win by 23 points in Max Gawn and Tom McDonald's 250th matches at the MCG. Never in Doubt!!!
