The moment you know when you’re going to win

When they played the national anthem, the Melbourne players and their coach stood as one with arms interlocked while their Geelong counterparts stood as individuals.

It’s all about the team and not individuals and our boys played like a team all night - the others played for themselves as exemplified by their captain’s tantramous exit onto the interchange bench in the third quarter when he robbed his team of a certain goal at a crucial time in the game.

    An old friend who barracks for the dogs 

    sent a text about half way through last quarter

    ”time to start singing “ a clearer head than mine could see the result.

    I needed one more goal. Only 10 minutes left  they needed to kick same score they had all night  would not happen,

    bring on the Wees n poos

    Ditto - we said the same about their pathetic attempt to out-psych us during the anthem

    Well now they have 6 months to practice some 'esprit de corps'!

    I also thought we stood united and would win when I saw our boys with arms linked and Geelong standing half a metre apart for the national anthem.

    But the moment of really believing was when Hannan waltzed into goal and Jones kicked a ripper.  The guy behind me kindly said to relax and remember to breathe!

    Bit rich telling Geelong FC how to stand...how many finals have they played since us?

    When we stood tall in the first ten minutes and didn’t let the occasion overwhelm us. I knew we would win then.

    Cue Mitch Hannan, Titanic moment? That was the equivalent to the Kent goal against West Coast for me, where the lid blew off. Happy times.

    He’s not telling Geelong anything but rather, what he perceived at the time which was the togetherness of one team and the cockiness of the other. Forget how many they have “played since us”. Think about how many each of them will play in the future.

    Thought when Jones kicked a captains goal in the last was the moment I knew we were playing Hawthorn next week.

    This. We were all over them and they were already starting to panic. It was chaos ball which we do much better than them.

    It was the equivalent of the Watts goal on Queen’s Birthday last year.

    I really thought it was strange they didn't lock arms considering the [censored] about Adelaide last year.

    If i'm honest i was confident from the get go. We looked harder, faster and stronger. Oliver running through Selwood was the moment when i thought yeah we ain't losing. Classic Melbourne sets in and we don't put them away and i was a tad nervous. Then Viney killed Selwood with that tackle i had a good laugh. When Weid kicked his 3rd i went to the family room to celebrate. Then the cats kick the next two in a minute and i run to my room and pray to god to reverse the jinx i set upon us.

    i noticed this too and it gave a me a feeling that we had this 

    of course that was after a Seagull shat on me while i was sitting in my seat 

    and would you believe the seats we had , was right next to the last game I took my wife and kids altogether as a family before she passed and we all watched melbourne win. So yea I knew we would win . well still very nervous , but I knew someone was watching us 

    not that i believe ion anything like that , but too many things happened last night to say we would

    This photo has the colouring of a photo taken in the late 1950s. If I'd seen the photo at the time it was taken, I would have said I knew then we were going to win just because of that.

    dont think it says anything really, correlation not equalling cause n all - having said that i reckon the only person trying to psych out our players was Chris Tott who had a face on him like a baboons arse

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
