Captain’s run this morning. I’m going pretty much just to congratulate Melks. LOL, like I wouldn’t be going there otherwise. l’ll take vids and pics so y’all can see the happi-haps and I don’t have to concentrate, which is best for all involved since I have the attention span of a moth. 😁

    Mission already accomplished! I got to congratulate Melks and we had a big ol’ bear hug and he thanked me for supporting him all the way through. But…

    Before that I walked to the tent with Goody. I thanked him for bringing Melks straight in. I told him there’s many online who think he should’ve come through Casey, and that Goody’s (yet again) bringing a player in too early when he’s not ready. Goody said, “You know he’s ready!” I said, “Yeah but these folks are ‘experts’” he said, “But they’re not here every week, are they?”

    Yeah Goody!!!!

    You really do deserve praise for your commitment to the club and the players.

    Very few attend as much as you do and imo it gives you every right to voice your opinions on all things to do with the club and maintain your strong defence of everything MFC.

    You go girl.

    I also told Selwyn what a great job he’s done with getting Melks up. He quickly pointed out the two guys standing with him and said it was all their work. Apparently Selwyn devised the plan but these guys were the ones who were with Melks all the way through. One of them (Tom) said, “It was hardly work since Melky made it so easy. He’s been all in since the beginning.”

    LOL at the end of the session almost everyone had left but Clarrie was in the tent knocking the mud off his boots. I ran into the tent and said, “I’m in the protected zone! I suppose that’s 50” He said, “[censored] that, you can come in here anytime.” We laughed and hugged and I swear to god that boy is happier than I’ve ever seen him. He has an infectious laugh, and it instantly makes you feel like 🎶 Everything Is Awesome 🎶

    In contrast, Bowser looked dejected. He seemed down in the mouth. He walked from the rooms to the oval by himself slowly and with his head down and I heard a little kid ask his dad, “Why does Bowey look so sad?” 😢

    I did but he said he’s afraid he’s not the right guy.

     

     

    Of course, he said it with a heavy heart 🙄

    Definitely Tommo and Cream (Fullarton) were there. Didn’t notice Bill but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t there.

    The above videos capture everyone who was there (I hope).

    Greetings, fellow traveller of the backroads of google!

    Moths are amazing and grossly underappreciated.

    Back living in Canberra I'd go wandering on the hills, sometimes at night, and one of the most vivid visual memories I have is coming back past the War Memorial and one side of it having a curtain of bogong moths on the bare wall. Must have been about 2m vertically and five or six wide. Every soft movement of wind causes the whole curtain to ripple and rustle and shift colours in the dimmed floodlights facing the building. A completely hypnotic moment.

    You’re a poet Goffy, I feel as though I was with you.

    No NC. He spotted bogongs not bogans. There’s a difference. 🙃

    On the subject, moths are gross. They sleep in your garments on the clothesline then when you unwittingly disturb them they fly out and land on the nearest surface and refuse to budge. And they leave that brown silt-like dust everywhere. Yuck. Worse still is when one holds out in your garment and you don’t discover it ‘til the first time you sit down that day and you feel ‘movement’ just above your kneecap and you look down and there’s a wriggling bulge under the fabric of your really cool flares and to your shock and horror you realise one has hitched a ride and is still alive but you’re in a courtroom on jury duty and can’t do a thing about it *shudder*

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
