Number 3…

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

    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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
