FLASHBACK: Rd 20 2016 vs Hawthorn

Featured Replies

 

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....

Great game. Gone since then:

Vince

Tyson

Watts

Bugg

Oscar Mac

Frost

Pedersen

Stretch

Garlett

 

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.

The day the 10 year fog lifted. 

A glorious day well inside my top 10 days (in 45 years) as a Dees supporter.

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.

crying or vandalistically ripping up items on the train?


Some wins just hit different...

That last Qtr... that feeling when we knew we were actually going to beat the premiers!

Was euphoric like. A win I'll never forget.

& I'm smiling as a type this :)

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
