    • Selwood's brain fade free near the interchange when Hawkins was lining up for goal

     

    Was huge that moment.
    They were coming the Cats and was a real momentum killer.

    That's why I grumbled about Weed not wasting 30 seconds when he marked 3 metres out.

    Was comfortable all week and said that we would come out firing - and we did. Poo & Wees will be slightly harder but we will overcome them by the end of the third. Dream on guys.

    When the players ran out Jonesy had a big grin on his face, I knew then we would win. Was the smile of a bloke who was relaxed & knew exactly how he's side was going to perform!

    And was about to live a dream playing in a packed to the brim MCG dressed in Red and Blue.

    Pregame. As the players lined up in positions and the MFC dropped a beat from Eminem. 

    To think we could play this?

    5 years ago it would have been a ridiculous pompous gimmick...but it clearly shows how far the club has changed. 

    It is perfect and shows we have many things right on and off the field.

    go Dees!

    I was pretty confident all night and never thought they were in it. The exact moment though, was a couple of minutes before Hannan kicked the goal, I said to my son, if we kick the next goal it’s over.

    Before the game, I saw Brayshaw in the middle with a few of the lads wearing their warm up jackets. The umpires came out to the centre of the square to practice some centre bounces, and you guessed it, Razor went straight up to Brayshaw and shook his hand with a big grin on his face. 

    I just had the feeling that we were at least, finally not going to be dictated by the system, and if we were to win, it would be on our terms..

    He was practicing them before the game and hitting a few.

    As was Bailey Fritsch, and his were going straight and long.

    This week, Tom putting the icing on the cake that Milkshake baked was the moment I knew we were home.

    I still can't wrap my head around him being the best set shot kick around after spending some years cringing when he was kicking it out of the backline.

    Yep. Hope he gets a full 23 games at ff next year and wins the Coleman. 

    What a coach's mare having to cover him Weid and Hogan. A frantic shuffling of pawns.

    Which points out the need for another crumbing forward.

    We’ve been the beneficiaries of two MASSIVE moments in our last two games down to players from the opposition doing two inexplicably bad things and us then taking full advantage. 

    In the cats game it was Selwoods behind the ball brainfart while Hawkins was lining up for a very likely goal. 

    This weekend the moment I felt like it was “our night” (despite the scare in the 4th quarter) was when Gunston smashed the ball into the post going for the sexy snap rather than a simple drop punt. From the kick out Gawn beat 3 Hawks players (that got lost by a lot of commentators) and we went Coast to Coast. It defined the whole night, it was an arrogant effort from Gunston and we took full advantage. 

    I also had a good feeling when just after the pre-game huddle the Hawks players were laughing. Loved that we wiped those smiles away!

    I knew we would win when the teams where named, the hawks have zero depth, once O'Meara and Stratton were out they had zero chance.

    TMacs goal in the last is when I was saying to myself we're going to perth. Was 99% at 3/4 time, but the geelong game during the season was in my mind.

    When Melksham kicked his second I started booking flights, only looked up again to see Spargo's goal and then for the siren. Felt a bit gloomy at missing out on the last couple of minutes, then I saw how much flights were an hour later and realised I'd done the right thing.

    Having read your blog over the years, I felt oddly proud of your composure in that moment. So that's fairly random but also well done I guess?

    Already burst a blood vessel after the Geelong game. Also a tremendous cheapskate.

    Did you burst a red or a blue-tinged vessel Supermerc? I need every tea-leave data-point I can get to determine if I watch the upcoming match publicly or attached to my 15-inch computer-screen . . .

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
