Watching the weekly video's - thanks @Demonland - made me think about a top 10 countdown for the play of the year.

I thought perhaps, forum posters may want to post some of their own ideas- we could then 'second, third' etc the play and then get a montage happening.

Now, I've got a poor memory but here are some of the one's that stand out for me off the top of my head in no particular order.

 

  • Viney's gather and spin in the EF and kick to the top of the goal square to Brayshaw 
  • Fritsch's first mark and goal in the first round
  • 5 minutes of tap out domination from Gawn and the onball brigade perhaps against Brisbane
  • Can I still talk about Clarry's goal against Adelaide last year?? ?
  •  

 

**edit -

I'll compile the options by close of business Friday 14th. 

Votes can be submitted on that thread from that list until close of business Wednesday 19th... and ill do my best to source all videos.

If you happen to have the video of said highlight - please submit it - or give a time stamp on the video...it'll make my job easier TIA.

***don't just post a video -  you'll have to write down your choice(s) otherwise I'll lose track

five more to consider:

  • hannan's run down the wing and goal
  • weideman's first quarter in finals football
  • nev's one-hander against clangerfilled in the final
  • jones' sealer goal
  • melksham's rove, left foot from 50
 

Nev’s mark against Liam Ryan in the H&A game against WCE.

Kentys goal that got us into the finals same game

The whole game against Adelaide in the Alice

The first two weeks of September were magical. The third not so much (slightly made better by Collingwood having won then lost the Grand Final). 


Where can one view the weekly videos? 

A few plays that stick out:

• Jetta’s tackle/bump in the EF putting Selwood on his backside and making spit come out of his mouth 

• Oliver’s mid-air clean gather and give in the EF and putting Selwood on his backside again in the process

• Kent’s sealer over in the West, still a special moment 

 

Melkshams 55m bullet pass to Gus in the game v doggies, Gus to Hogan - goal. Magical. But Melkshams pass was just breathtaking.

My personal number one ?

The Jones sealer.

Perfect vision, decision and handpass from a pack by Tracca to an open Jones. Perfect kick for goal as he used to do.

The celebration by Jones was the release of 12 years of frustration and misery not only for him but for all of us.

2020

Go dees.

 

 


Apologies if nominated already. but I nominate two Sam Weideman plays -

His third goal in the Elimination Final vs Geelong, and his massive tackle on Dangerflog in the same game.

Hannan down the wing for me. That was super

Been three months and it still hasnt sunk in for me that we won two finals and eliminated two teams that have owned us for decades.   Could not have picked two better teams to kick out of the finals.

It had all the hallmarks of a fairytale ending. Pity we didn't wake up for the ball in Perth.

 

This is great, keep the clips coming.

What about ANB’s sealer against the Crows in Adelaide? Most would have been able to breathe again after thinking it was almost the Geelong game all over again.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
