Gotta enjoy the moment ... not robots & also celebrating for their suffering supporters..  I’m sure Goody & co know what they are doing 

 

I don't necessarily agree.

It wasn't just the finals drought. It was how we missed last year, the talk about us being mentally soft and  not being able to beat top eight sides that brought out that outpouring of emotion. 

The bigger question is how quickly we move on. We spend all week reflecting on that and we are boned for September.

 

I loved his quote that to win finals you need to display inhumane behaviour. 

No Judd, just because you are inhumane and have all the personality of a dried fig, does not mean that everyone else is a robot like you. The only reason you won a premiership is because you were surrounded by lots of other stars and cocaine. Your inhumane behaviour certainly did nothing for your next club, all it did is show you for the selfish, self centred, money grabbing pr*ck that you are.

3 Goals to Half Time and our 4 win season with a percentage of 68 was almost Complete.

Only 7 that played that week played last week against them and another 3 are on the list.

I felt ashamed to be there that day. It was an embarrasing to be with my brother in law.

So maybe Mr Judd needs to look back to where we have come from to understand the sheer jubilation from all concerned!!  End Rant

Notice the free kick count that day. 28-16 West Coast... Booooo!

Moments like last Sunday make it seem it was well worth the wait. Try to think of it as the foundation to us becoming great again. A lot of hard work has been done by all involved with the club since then. 

As to Judd....PFFFT!! 

Jack Fitzpatrick was our leading goal kicker  that night..??

I used to enjoy watching Footy Classified, in fact it was the only footy show I watched  every week.

Now Judd is on there I can not stand it.  The guy is unbearable.

Yeah, it was one of our better days during that period.

If Judd thought the players after-the-siren celebration was over the top he should have been at my place on Sunday..

My thoughts exactly.

SUBSTITUTES
West Coast: Dom Sheed replaced Mark Hutchings at quarter time
Melbourne: Christian Salem replaced Colin Garland in the third quarter
 
 
The sub rule makes me want to vomit.   It  stunted the development of many a young player and was a huge and unnecessary change to our great game.    Thank god they got rid of it, but whoever implemented that garbage should have been fired never to work in sport ever again.
 
The idea that our pick 9 Christian Salem was on the bench not being used until the third quarter is almost unbelievable looking back now.

Times have changed.

Richmond won a flag last year on a positive feel good vibe, and had fun doing it.

Post win celebration brings atmosphere and belief in wanting more and more.

Especially where we have come from.

Also installs confidence.

Let the Juggernaut begin!

Interestingly, Jones said the celebrations on the siren were because they had rid themselves of the 'not beaten a top 8 side' monkey off their back and not because they had made the finals.  I had the impression that dawned on them a bit later.

Lewis mentioned that people need to understand the noise at that cauldron with a hostile crowd and winning.  But by the time the plane took off (3 hours late) on Sunday night they were ready to move on to the next game.

So Judd has has misunderstood the initial reason the players celebrated.  The supporters, however are over the moon happy and showed it. 

Nothing wrong with a few man-hugs and a robust rendition of the Grand Old Flag.  I have no doubt the team has their feet planted firmly on the ground.

I'd like to have some confidence installed. Can you do a quote?

Depends how much celebrating you do .

But I’d probably instill it instead of installing it. ?

For celebrating I'd prefer it distilled

I went through a good three quarters of bottle of scotch during that wet toast game. I think I sculled two glasses after they hit the front.

It was .... the AFL coaches!

They got all cut about having injured players, and how it wasn't fair that a game-ending injury meant that they only had 3 rotations to the oppo's 4. Unfair! they cried. We need 3 rotations and a sub to keep it even.

New rule: sub player.

Later on they worked out ... hey. We've only got 3 rotations when we could have 4. Why have we got an entire player just sitting there! Doing nothing! Stupid! Whose idea was that???

The AFL, having outsourced the state of the game to coaches, was happy to rubber it stamp it each time.

TL;DR: the coaches don't know what they want. There should be no coaches on "state of the game" panels.

The over-celebrating comment is just a way for media junkies like Judd, Hutchinson and Lloyd (who agreed) to look authoritative.

We beat GWS and/or win the first final and they can say raising the issue made Melbourne re-focus. Lose to GWS and then drop out of finals in the first week and they can say they were vindicated.

Either way they appear to "win".

One of the worst changes they ever made and was totally doomed from the start. I remember my brother saying it was good because it ‘added a new edge’ to the game. Yeah maybe from a spectator point of view but for the players it would have sucked. 

And it sucked from a spectator point of view IMO. 

Judd wouldn't remember celebrating a win playing for Carlton for so long.

Judd has been saying for weeks he likes the Demons and they can go a long way, think he was thinking we’d lose focus, plus he’s probably regretting going to the Blosers all those years ago

 

Did Judd happen to watch the celebrations after West Coast beat Adelaide in round 23 last year to knock us out.?

You would've thought they just won their 6th straight flag. I can't recall Judd criticising West Coast's celebrations after falling into 8th place.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
