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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
