Hope you are correct re the Pies. I could not stand another season of them winning again and the media fawning over them. I wish them, Geelong, Carlton and Essendon nothing but pain and misery this season. I still haven’t forgotten what Maynard did to Gus. Still makes my blood boil.

Ollie Sestan

He is one of my favourite players. Wears his heart on his sleeve and hates losing.

I am currently in SA. It appears that most decent accommodation is already booked out. Thankfully I booked our accommodation as soon as the Gather Round was announced. I tried to upgrade my accommodation but was told they were fully booked. I have also been told most of the decent restaurants are also heavily booked. Might be worthwhile to do a bit of forward planning if you are planning on coming to SA.

Two daughters at the moment.

Loved the interview. He sounds like a top bloke with his head screwed on the right way ( as my late mum would say).

I saw Tom up north in October. Looked fighting fit and he felt confident that he was going to get through the bulk of next season injury free 🤞🙏

It doesn’t feel like 19 years ago. I will always remember where I was when I heard the news. So tragic for this to happen even more so on your honeymoon. i couldn’t stop crying at that 2005 tribute game. Saddest and most emotional game I think I have ever attended. RIP Troy.

Merry Christmas to the Demonland family. Here is to a safe and Happy New Year and a great 2024 season ❤️💙

I am still absolutely furious about the whole Maynard incidence. The fact I am married to a Pies supporter only makes it worse. Mind you - he knows to stay in my good books not to bring it up. I have already decided not to go to any games against Collingwood next season.

This is proving to be a bit of a challenge. The site is so slow and twice I’ve been entering my credit card details and the timer runs out. It’s very frustrating 😡

I just got sent my code from the club and now realise it is Ticketek not Ticketmaster. I’ve been online for the last half hour but no luck getting onto the site. It just keeps refreshing…..

I have my code but when I log into Ticketmaster there is no option for purchasing Gather Round tickets 🤷‍♀️

Agree 100%. It still makes me angry. I refuse to attend/watch any game that involves Maynard. The media have been despicable this year.

I love David Rodan as goal umpire. I love the wry grin when the Dees kick a goal. Also a lovely guy away from footy.

I have watched this about 150 times. One of the ultimate highlight goals in my opinion. I was also there that day and screamed so much I think I lost my voice for a few day. That whole link of play was magnificent to watch. ❤️💙

I heard from a relative of Oscars that he has been offered a two year contract with Freo and he currently making plans to pack up and move over there as we speak. I wish him all the best. Apparently he has been working his guts out at VFL level and has been rewarded.

Couldn’t agree more.

Mmmm - I have had a totally different experience with this pair and would hate to see him at the Dees.

Or a joke about ‘The Tunnel’ but we are way too polite.

After being at the B & F I love Stephen May that little bit more now. He was honestly gutted by the way our year ended and he definitely has some unfinished business next season. After the event was over he hung around for ages chatting to fans when the others players had already left for their after party. I loved talking to him and he is a genuinely top bloke who wears his heart on his sleeve.

I’ve just been told by my Pies supporter husband that this piece of scum just won the Darren Millane trophy for best clubman. Second year in a row. 🤮🤮

That is an excellent summary and I agree with everything you said. The night was fabulous. The players were generous with their time, happy to chat and the atmosphere was very upbeat. I had a good chat with Steven May. Told him his speech was hilarious and I thanked him for his stellar year. He was highly amused to hear I was married to a Collingwood supporter ( who was also with me on the night). All of our table had a great night and we plan to make it an annual event. I am pumped for 2024 now ❤️💙

Highlight of the night. We loved it ❤️

Our whole table gotup and cheered that. He calls a spade a spade which I love. Said we are a better team than Collingwood!! Love it.
