I was travelling to Koh Samui that day. By the time i got to my Hotel, we had just won. 
Cold Beers went down beautifully watching some replays

    I was at Flemington. Won on the ponies and surrounded by Hawks supporters watching the last 15 minutes. What a day!

    What a great 10 minutes of footy, completely owned them. Ripper of a game.

    I believe this game produced this one handed beauty of a pickup from Clarry (while we're reminiscing)

     

    I'll be delighted if we kick 17 goals 7 this Sunday....

    Dom Tyson played a blinder from memory.  That was the beginning of the end of the quest for 4 in a row.

    Watching that 10 min clip you could be mistaken for believing the club would have to be insane to get rid of Watts, Stretch, Tyson, Bugg, Pedo and OMac.

    Billy Stretch was excellent too.

    I remember distinctly tearing up a bit on the train ride home from Nagoya.?
    For newer Demonlanders, defeating either Hawthorn or Geelong was considered an impossible pipe dream back in the day. I felt quite surreal. It had been so long since it had even seemed credulous that we could beat them. Sure, we had gotten within 3 goals or so a few times. But their bigger bodies and greater experience made sure they had the situation well in hand whenever we put up a challenge. ?

    The dark day were over with that win.    We had not beaten them in a decade or more, and they were the reigning premiers.   Good times, good times.

    That was the also the debut game for Sam Weiderman. During the second quarter Oliver won a centre clearance that resulted in a Brayshaw goal on the run that I remember well.

    Who's to say I wasn't doing both? Surges of indecipherable emotion can cause unorthodox reactions.

    Probably the day that stuck in Jordan Lewis’s head later that year when Clarko asked would he consider moving to the Suns

    It was a Foxtel broadcast, not on free-to-air, and we watched it on my son's phone, on hands and knees - the phone was propped up against the skirting board (beats me!). When the Watts-dink-to-Tyson-Tyson-snap happened I nearly put my fist through the floor. And it was a concrete slab...

    Possibly the greatest isolated fraction of non-goal-related pure football brilliance I've ever seen.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
