I Just watch the replay again and trac was instrumental in the last 10sec I’m getting the ball down to our 50 where Hunt was going to run onto it with 2 hawks to beat. 

Great effort especially considering it was right at the end of the game. 

And with 2.04 to go Tracc won a crucial ball in traffic on the wing and dished off a handball to create the forward entry before the Frost to Lockhart effort

    I just got around to watching the replay.  I have to say I am very pleasantly surprised.  Not by the win, but by the manner in which we won.  What we saw here was many of the things we have been asking for implemented and actually working.  I'm fairly certain I saw four Shepherds by Melbourne players at various points.  One of them was unintentional, but that's still three better than in any match previously under Goodwin.  We saw players staying out of the contest so there was an outlet when we won the ball.  We defended a bit further back so that we weren't leaving a great gaping void for the opposition to run into and also creating a bit more space in our forward line.  We had crumbers at marking contests.  While I still saw far too many bombs to the hot spot, in general we were a bit more discerning in our f50 entries.  Honestly, if our players could kick basic set shots like the other teams, we would have won by five goals or more. 

    Definitely some of the best bits of our efforts. Good enough to beat Whoreform - a team of champions.

    Tick, tick went the clock; great ideas, great efforts went Trac, Frost, Lockhart.

    Just in relation to the final few minutes, was that Lockhart kick too far for him to kick (uncertain of his attributes still).

    Just found it interesting he slotted it off to Melksham; was that purely to buy time or due to his kicking ability.

     

     

    Buying time. Smart. But notice the positioning/nonchalance of the Melk - smart, too.

    Law of averages suggests otherwise. If Lockhart misses Hawthorn get the ball with 1:30 left and can take it down the other end and kick a goal. They almost did that anyway but they had less time and all we needed to do was bring it back down to our forwards just once more to win it. 

     

    You the know the law of averages is not a law, it is usually a misunderstanding of probability. The multitude of possible outcomes from varying one incident in a dynamic situation like a game of footy is mind boggling. No, I am sure it cost Jayden Hunt a got with 8 seconds remaining. :laugh:

    I see Frotsy as more of a gazelle - leaping, jumping then running like hell.

    Not that my personal opinion counts for anything... I have conceded that when Lever, May and Jetta are fit (and even if Jetta is not fit)...he has a short AFL career ahead of him.... ?

    But hey, we are a team that has recruited a whole heap of $hhit brothers...

    Cockatoo Collins (s)

    Ottens

    Holland

    Gaspar

    etc

    Not [censored] brother, but one who at this stage doesn't look like being a contributor compared to his bro (for injury reasons) is KK.

    Agree completely 

    Watch the Jones goal from the Geelong final last year, Petracca won the loose ball and evaded and dished off to Jones

    He's cat-like on the ground, love his presence in the forward 50 contests when the ball is up for grabs 

    OMG - have you heard that Geelong have signed him up :-((

    I did to...  but i thought a gazelle was to passive, and fearful. 

    Frosty isn't like that character.  So I looked further.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
