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: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
