I have two in particular:

EF: Neville Jetta's game on Dangerwood - pulled his pants down

SF: Gunston hitting the post running into goal. We kick out and take it down our end for a goal with BT's commentary, "can't believe it, can't believe it, can't believe it, can not believe it"

Look on Clarkson's face. So happy to eliminate that filth

    Only other one that has come close to challenging that ones already posted in this thread would be Dom Sheed, just under 2 minutes to go in the GF.

    The look on the crowd's face will never get old.

    Great idea!

    EF start of the third or last qtr I think when Viney hip and shoulders Selwood to his [censored] and gives away a free. Selwood then tries to play on and gets caught by Jack with his 57th tackle for the game and wins the ball back.

     

    This is what I came to add. In my mind though, Viney actually dropped his mouthguard and STILL managed to pick it up and catch Selwood in time. Did I completely make this up?! Either way, awesome moment.

    The highlights didn't have the initial free kick but here is the rest which resulted in Jonesy's goal.

    Not sure what the delay was but you are correct, Viney was distracted and was still able to react quickly enough to Selwood trying to take advantage of that.

    The Jones sealer. Thanks for posting the vision.

    Who needs to run when you can steal the ball, duck and weave in the middle of a pack, spot a loose man in the best position and deliver by hand perfectly.

    That is the magic of Tracca. Get to where the ball is, win the contest, make good decisions and deliver.

    There were so many, particularly in our two winning finals.

    As a spectator at the ground, the most spine tingling and exhilarating play (when I caught a glimpse of footy heaven), was the Hannan run from the wing to goal. And re-watching it with BT's commentary wasn't bad either.

    Brian Taylor? As in the worst commentator in the games history Brian Taylor?

     

    Get youself a good pair of headphones, and listen to the Gerard Whately version, and never punish yourself with the Taylor insult ever again

    Also works with this alternate footage of a Dees fan watching the goal.

    Ever since Melbourne took BT outback at the Alice game, he has been very biased towards the Demons. Thats my impression.

    Viney run down and “spooking” a rampant Gunston.

    Resultant Coast to coast team goal - Melk, Spargo to ANB. 

    Two goal turnaround. 

    Used to happen TO us.

    Super effort. I missed that goal live as the Crows getting within 7 or 8 points late in the game was enough for me to go and walk around the block until siren time. 

    If the training threads weren’t enough to whet the appetite, this thread certainly will. 

    Lewis, Vince and Goodys celebrations said it all, was a huge moment in our season. 

    Rd 19, 7th on the ladder, coming off that devastating loss in Geelong. Adelaide on a roll winning 4 of the last 5 games and this 1 crucial for their chances at finals.

    In love with Daisy, like the rest of us. But even with BT on the Dee train I still can't stand his call.

    The only thing that could have been better is Viney playing on and getting past Selwood. And yes he did throw his head back on the ground.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
