Surely they could’ve waited until July actually finishes and say last 24 games in July.

    Dry July is a concept where sone people take the opportunity not to drink alcohol during the month of July and hence Dry July. Dry July here is a play on that but the wins drying up for some teams.

    OK...but for every team that has wins "drying up" another team is being, er, flooded with wins. They cancel each other out, for goodness sake!

    And hence it's a Dry July for only some teams. That is the point. It's raining goals in Geelong. Not so dry July for them. Please don't take this light-hearted thread so seriously.

    Thanks boss.     I had thought for a minute that you were about to recommend that we all have a dry July - which came rather late as a piece of advice.   😀  Cheers 🍹

    Clearly the data show that Premierships are not won in July.

    Do you have a similar table for September??

    There's only one day in that month that actually matters. We've won 13 but sadly only 1 in the last 57 years.

    Just 3 behind behind the so called big two, Carlton and Essendon

    I'm sure someone will tell me why I'm wrong but the above table seems a totally useless statistic to me.

    When I saw the thread title and the 'Uncle Bitter' avatar I fully expected a quip saying that 'dry...(any month) ...' is too ridiculous to contemplate and any day is a good day for a 🍷!  😉

    They should make teams do Dry July until they get a win in July.

     I made it through the first week of dry July before it became a very wet July.🥳

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
