Pedo kicked one and tmac 2

I was having a few frothies at the time so my memory isn't super clear haha.

For some reason I thought it was T Mac kicked 2 in a minute

I don't mean to be a party pooper but has anyone actually thought about the probabilities of Tom McDonald kicking his fifth and match winning goal over his head, in Perth with 20 seconds to go?

I dropped my toast this morning and it landed vegemite side up. I'm not liking the signs

I was actually worried about how we might need to restructure our foward play around a strong focal point for Hogan when he comes back, but last night proves we can do it.  I think Hogan will also be pretty happy with some of the delivery into the forwardline at the moment.

Yeh it's a very good point... We do seem to move the ball a lot better when we're not dump kicking or bombing under pressure to Hogan.... It's been proven this season

 

I think though when the going gets really tough and the take no prisoners finals comes around you need guys like Hogan/Gawn/Weed (I know hes too young right now) to be there to take grabs and bring the ball to ground. 

If you don't have those big guys up forward I think as a team in big games you get exposed.

For me why are WCE so poor at the moment///??? Their team balance is out. If Kennedy plays for WCE yesterday, WCE win. Because McGovern takes those strong grabs in defence - Pedo/T Mac don't take those grabs and instead of can't kick McGovern shooting at goal for WCE you have a coleman medallist.

While I love our fast unpredictable forward line - I think it gets exposed in really big games without Hogan there

I think most of us realise it was a fluke based on good luck and good circumstance - see my post above....

But I'm not sure what your point is? DOn't enjoy a win?

This is (arguably) the most joyous thread I've read on Demonland.  Loving every post!

Well you will love this one too. 

The MFC is back.

When Hannan goes to the contest, either something good happens for us or something bad happens for the opposition. To my way of thinking, this guy is the pick up of the year....... for any team.

Hibberd says hello.

Reviewed the Hurn/Viney incident several times and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Both players were courageous and going for the ball. Hurn just got there a fraction quicker with his hand. If Viney gets suspended then time for the mob to descend on AFL House and burn it down.

Can't we just do that regardless?

I survived , I was behind the goals the as the ball sailed through I stood up double fisted pump the air  and yelled out a very long Yesssssssss that you may have heard on the east coast surrounded by some of the most one eyed supporters I have everseen. 

That was you? You bloody legend.

I think a few thought that might have been me because of my earlier post, but I was on the wing. 

I love Melbourne supporters. We have this unashamed passion borne from years of being in the wilderness that means we are used to being outnumbered and just yell louder. We've got nothing to lose, and it shows.

Well, a sequal is always there for the making "Free Jack Viney ....Again"

Free kicks 27 to 16

maggots did their usual WA best to fark us over but to no avail

Go Dees

The same free kick ratio has seen Brad Scott seething. 

We are used to it.

Burgs has been a bit slow getting the post match interviews up.  Probably too hungover from a big night on the sauce with the boys in Perth.

Old McDonald kicked a bag. 

Eeei Eeei Oh!

Dissapointed in the coverage in the Herald Sun, Tommy M was on the backpage but we just got a small match report a out ten pages in. Dogs got about 5 pages, hey ho.

Oh and let's not forget all the articles about the druggies. One even back to the 90's. Give me a break.

The problem is that Hurn was more injured than Dangerfield was (not a criticism of Hurn, btw.).

Shuey was charged but it was careless with low impact to the head. That's a $1,500 sanction, down to $1,000 with a plea.

If Viney is charged, he might get careless and medium impact to the head. That's 2 matches down to 1 match with a plea.

The issue is whether or not Viney gets charged at al. Dale Thomas got off because the MRP said he was contesting the ball, therefore no reportable offence. If the MRP says Viney was contesting the ball, then he should be fine. Otherwise, he'll get a week (assuming it was "medium" impact as it forced Hurn from the field),

Viney jumped up to punch the ball away. In play and just for the record, Hurn is reported as having a sore chest. Therefore most likely contact to the chest in play. 

If Shuey got off for running past the ball and cleaning Danger up in the head, then nothing here. 

On the other hand he is a Demon so life ban.

My wife walked into the front room where I was watching the game last night just as Plugger Mac kicked the winner. She looked at me strangely, as I was standing right in front of the TV shaking my fists in a more animated version of Goody. It took me a while to explain we'd just gone in front with 20 secs to go because I was panting quite hard.

she understood in the end, I think. Took me a while to wind down!

Hahaha my wife who goes for the dogs was leaping up and down fists in the air in front of the TV with me when he kicked that goal. Man I love my wife! ❤️

[leave it to deever 17,517]

Woke up this morning and wondered was it all a dream.

Watched replay over breakfast.

Noted blatant back push on Oliver at around 2 mins to go on boundary line.

Still didnt stop us winning.

It such a tough year you need to win games you dont expect.

Well done Dees this one goes down in history for me.

That must of really stung those mad eagles fans.

Loved the Melbourne supporter in crowd (Left of left goal or behind post) in black. 

His reaction speaks for all of us.

[doc roet 1,289]

That block by Frosty at the end which allowed Lewis to mark uncontested was great too.

On Saturday night scoreboard which followed our game,  Ben Dixon and Kate Sheehan were praising the game of Max Gawn in regards to his 19 hitouts to advantage in his first game back from a long absence. 

To quote Brad Johnson, the so called host of this show in reply to their praise of Max. " He's done that on the back of one game in the 2's so he was ready to do that." 

I hope that not one dollar from my Foxtel subscription goes to a buffoon like Johnson. It's bewildering the amount of times these so called experts misinform the viewers and getting paid top dollar to do it. You can't value their opinions at all, that's why Demonland is the best fan forum around for opinions, discussions and humour. Keep up the good work team!

Best Sunday ever coming up!!!

Yes I spat out my beer when he said that! 

And let's not forget that Basil Zemplis moron. He called Pedo 'Garland', (forget player) 'Oliver' and Tom/Oscar the wrong way around. 

Fair dinkum. Who the hell is this guy and how did he get this gig? God knows how much he gets paid- at least learn the players' names.

now we're exiting irrelevancy, these clowns need to do their homework! 

[Fat Tony 5,272]

Great win obviously. 

I hope Viney has no case but the incident reminded me of the Ziebell one in 2012. Fingers crossed.

 

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,234]

A lot has been said about the win but one thing that hasn't had much coverage is the job Melksham did on Hurn. 3 kicks for the game (5 disposals in total) removed a lot of their movement from the back half.  I suspect he will get Jake Lloyd or Mills next week.

The umpires must be kicking themselves that they let that one go.

Seriously, that umpiring from about the second quarter onwards was pathetic.

Frost tripped, Hibberd grabbed over the shoulder, Melksham penalised for a West Coast player falling over.

We need a supporter with too much time on their hands to make a video with them all like the nuffie Collingwood supporter did.

We were lucky we didn't have the WB vs North umpires.  They paid a similar block as an 'illegal shepherd' against Mason Wood and Brown's goal was disallowed in the dying seconds!

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Hibberd was instrumental getting the ball to Watts last gasp goal on QB if I remember correctly?.....was the one who fired it in to the forwards last gasp last night as well.....just how good is this guy.
