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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
