Re-watching us vs the Pies

Lacking the motivation to go to sleep right now, I had a look on a USB I had sitting around and discovered us vs Collingwood on there.  Round 18 that is.  It's funny looking back and remembering watching it live.  I seem to recall commenting on here about it being a stereotypical Melbourne start to the game.  There's a dodgy free kick directly in front of Collingwood's goal to open the scoring.  Nathan Jones tries to show leadership by playing on blindly and getting into trouble.  Grimes takes a little too long with the ball and winds up kicking it out on the full. 

Fortunately, this is the incarnation of the Demons that was starting to show that they can hold their own in this weight division and rather than dropping their collective bundle they were able to keep their [censored] together and play like footballers after the first few minutes.  I'm quite looking forward to the rest of it.

    That was a statement win by us. For years the pies have treated us like a joke, to the point that some of their fans would stay away from queens birthday games as the result would be beyond doubt before the opening bounce.

    Love Grimes for his endeavour, but how could you have him in the side when he repeatedly makes the mistakes he did in that match?

    i know he's under immense pressure, but you need someone in that position who won't succumb so readily & often.

    You need to revisit it watching "press red for ed" in the last quarter for maximum effect....

    Oh...please.  Sadly the only recording I had of it was that awful commentary....though the angst at the end was enjoyable.  

    Is Fox doing the replay of every game again this off season?

    Their finals dreams in tatters and ed & Co stuck in the box with nothing much better to say ...so bad it was hilarious. 

    Season replay was in oct I think , In January fox is showing past great players programming on what in their view was the top games of the last 25 years (Brereton,  dunstall etc) not necessarily their own but dunstall (surprise surprise ) has lined up the merger game in 96 plus a few hawthorn gf's in recent years,  a bit too much hawthorn being shown lately if u ask me

    One thing I never really got about that game is that Lumumba was getting boo'd by the Pies supporters. They didn't want him so why boo him?

    That's just the mentality of a lot of supporters. Melksham will be booed when we play Essendon in 2016, even though all of their supporters say he's a complete spud

    I went to the Richmond North final as my friend is a kangas supporter, and whenever Nahas got the ball the Richmond faithful booed him. I thought it was hilarious...booing a delisted player. Not the smartest idea.

    I'm sure plenty of dees supporters boo Scully or Frawley, yet within the same breath will be espousing the virtues of Hogan & Brayshaw.

    He won't be a spud for us though. I'm predicting a bloody good season for him.

    I hope you are right Ron. I was dead against getting him before the trade period but that was based on not much more than the team he played for. He is one of us now so a "bloody good season" from Jake would be great.

    I agree I liked the commentary of press red for Ed

    Gee it was enjoyable listening to them crack it

    I watched the same game last week along with the final round GWS game to cheer me up after watching Victory have a frustrating 1-1 draw with Perth. 

     

    I just loved how attacking we can be and how much of a beast Hogan is. Loved Harmes' game against GWS. 

    Might watch the Geelong game next

    Funny you mention that, I found that game on a spare hard drive and watched it a few days ago.  I think it's a great cure for a crappy day.

    This match should have featured in this morning's Age (of our five best wins since 1970) as should have our 2015 win at the Cattery!

    Just what I needed to watch. Love, love, love a win over Collingwood. Cannot wait for the footy season to begin - bring it on!!

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
