Most fist-pump-worthy highlight from last night

Featured Replies

Regardless of whether you were at the G, on the couch, at the pub or listening on the radio, everyone would have a moment in last nights game that caused the most enthusiastic fist pump.

Time to share and reminisce

Mine was McDonald's tackle on Zaharakis in the 4th quarter. Absolutely sensational.

 

Colin Sylvia's goal. Not only did it send the message that we were coming it also proved just how good Col can be.

That goal wasn't about structure, or development, or coaching. It was simply a goal that was kicked by a player with enormous talent deciding to stand up and be counted. I loved it for what it meant to the team, and the player.

 

Garlands goal in the square

..from a great wait-and-assess-while-harrassed-then-nail-the-option ('waawhtnto') pass from Jones - whose 2nd effort boundry snap earlier on was also brilliant.

Rivers was it for me. The hard body, desperate lunge and clear to a team-mate time an again esp. in the last.

Nicholson's chase, slip, then recovery to smother the kick of his opponent.

Beautiful desperation!

I thought McDonald did some outstanding work last night - a few dodgy disposals, maybe, but that Zaharakis tackle plus another great spoil in 4Q which were both fist pumpers for me.

my scarf flew off and went 10 seats over and a row forward when jonesy kicked his banana. just watched it again - mitch was on his own in the square


what about Beamer's long bomb that was pretty nice, or our first for the night which was Lord Howe from the boundary

also liked Watts and Rivers flying the flag after it was clear the Bombers were getting a little rattled by us

garlo lining up for goal looking he had no clue how he got into this position

Watts saving goals about 20 times with little knock-ons bumps and spoils was my favourite though

I was watching in the Bullring as I supersticiously believed that we were better off with us down below.

My moment came late, very late. When we desperately forced that final ball up and I saw the time left on the clock I knew it was over. I think I went sprinting out and down the stairs towards the race screaming "yes!" An amazing roar when the siren went, singing the song with so many others around. What a feeling. What a win.


Pure fist pump- Jonesy's bunana, Sylvia's goal, Garland 1 and 2.

Hair tearer- Garlo's last miss.

Ball tearer- hearing that sweet sound of the siren!

It never ceases to amaze me how Essendon fans just stream out of the ground once they think they're gone. It's like it's a co-ordinated move, they just pack up and go as one.

I thought it was funny when they left after big Maxy Gawn took that mark in the goal square last year - Gawn missed the shot and the Bombers were still in it.

This year was unbelievable, they all streamed out when Garland took that mark. I've never seen supporters leave when 5 points down with 2 minutes left. And he missed!

Pathetic from those fans after what their team has delivered so far this year. But they've always been terrible losers (which is why it's so much fun beating them!).

The great attacking leads in our forward line from ... hey, that's not Mitch Clark, it's Colin Garland.

Garlo's mark in the goal square and goal, thought we had them at that point. Esp. liked the flat kick at the front row of the Essendon cheer squad.....no malice I'm sure, he is a defender after all, usually kicking it the other way!

Mark Neeld's fist pump on the Boundry said it all...

10 weeks of emotion and angst was released...Our coach is on the board...very important.


Tom Mcdonald's and Watt's critical last man in defence tackles

and, Hurley's face shown in slow-mo after he kicked a honker

Garland's mark and goal in the square. Not only way it great play, but in terms of the game it happened at just the right time when we were all on the edge of our seats desperately hoping it could actually happen.

 

Yes agreed RM...watching Cruize Garland ghosting into that square and then a goal......fist pump heaven!

I think I literally fist-pumped when Garland took that mark at the end.

Aside from that, Sellar's mark as they went forward after Garland's point was another moment where I may have fist pumped. And Magner's kick into the 50.

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
