Number 3…

Who could tell, from this, that just 27 days earlier, had come this, on a much more consequential 'Number 2':

Some learnings, that never seem to sink in...

    I'm not Old Dee, but I can say that from memory the atmosphere was electric.

    Having said that I was pretty young at the time.

    Anyone else notice, in the first few minutes of the film, how slim people were back then?

    Yeah, 8 years of Great Depression with food rations would do that to a society

    So true KDF the Great Depression left the population fairly lean and mean, add 6 years of WW2 with food rationing and no such thing as fast food outlets, just basic necessities and yet they got through it. I have watched a lot of history including WW1 & 2 footage all the troops and populace on both sides were lean fit and resilient.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
