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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
