K-Rock

His voice was quivering as Watts kicked the goal.

Spine tingling.

 

Any chance of finding T-Macs goal v Meth Coast?

The radio commentary kraps all over the T.V

The thing about that footage (apart from the lack of love for Hibberd's spoil) that gets me is that nobody gives Oscar credit for a great pass.  That was an incredibly difficult thing he did with only a second or so to look and execute. 

Here's what they had to say:

  • 3AW "a little dribbler.:
  • MMM he "hacks it forward."
  • ABC "a little toe poke."
  • AFL Nation "dribble kick out."

I know it gets overshadowed by the awesomeness of the finish at the other end, but Oscar deserves more credit than that.  Everything that Harmes and Watts did came off the back of his quick thinking.

But it was a hack forward, and i say that with the greatest respect.

That was a deliberate pass that put Harmes into a paddock of space. 

It may have been deliberate and it did the job, but it was a classic "hack forward" at all costs

It was all skill.  He knew exactly what he was doing.

I am not doubting that, he had no time, but he knew what he was doing. 

It was good fortune that it came off, as was Hibberds finger touching of the ball to get it across to Oscar

Even Harmes kick was to a spot Watts could run onto. If that is a kick where he tries and hits the target and it drops short then Watts is held up. But he chooses to put it out in front and it was the right option executed well.

I love watching the crowd around the wing. They all start standing up when they realise what is about to happen. What a moment it was!

They do too, I had not noticed. It's like a very slow moving mexican wave.

We have all probably been dismayed with Jack at times over the years with his occasional lack of "go". But that hard, long sprint after 99 minutes of unbelievably tough footy to put himself in the position to kick the winning goal would have taken a lot of courage. It would have been far easier just to call for Harmes to centre the ball but he gut ran to the better option instead.

Love the videos, thanks, but-"the much maligned" "Watts has arrived" etc etc, some of these commentators are real gold coated f*** wits.

And it was Hibberd's spoil as much as anything that won us the day. A near certain goal saved. 

That game had it all including a near heart attack to me.

I find it hard to think of a more memorable single moment in all my time supporting this club. There was something genuinely magical in that passage of play.

Thanks for posting Brendan - need to save this thread forever.

that sequence from pedo at back pocket to salem goal to pinch the game against the peptides a couple of years ago was equally memorable, ron

How good is that commentary of AFL Nation?  And how poor is Dill's brother?

Also, take a look at the footy smarts of Jeffy.  Had to position himself the best while at the same time read Jack's mind.  His (Jeffy) inclusion this week is big.

K Rock and AFL nation oddly enough were the best. Disappointing with the rest... you literally couldn't screw that up. Jack provided the timing to make any commentators job easy...

Man... I can't wait til post season and to start a "your top 10 favourite MFC moments of 2017." That goal will rate high with many... but TMac's will as well.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
