5 points down against the Dogs with 30 seconds left in the game. Jayden Hunt (just back into Grand Final side after his ankle) makes a crazy, flying intercept from a Caleb Daniel bullet to Aaron Naughton inside their forward 50 and he takes off……3 bounces, runs around Macrae, handballs over Libbers head to take it back himself, spots both Kozzy and Nathan Jones (on as medi-sub in the last 10 minutes) two out against Bontempelli just out of the goal square. Hunty roosts it…….Kozzy perches on the shoulders of Bont, takes his inevitable one-handed mark of the year, lands on his feet, and while the Bont is on his haunches, slips a handball to Jonesy, who takes 5 more strides and slams it into the 2nd tier of a max allowed capacity 40,000 at the ‘G. Dees premiers with 2 seconds left on the clock, and I’m there to see it!
 

oops…….wrong thread.

    I can see us winning the first two finals games in complete control and then on the Grand Final day not kicking a goal until just before half time to be only 9 goals down.    How is that !

    Or alternatively After a BBQ in Yarra Park and a lovely stroll down the hill to the G about 1.45, I sit there and watch as we get thumped literally and figuratively (88 and 2000 anyone ?) by who ever wants the final win more than we do. Basically us thinking the hard work was done by reaching the GF. when its only just started !

    I’d say in the ultimate twist of irony, the rapture, followed by biblical apocalypse, will occur two minutes prior to the final siren of a grand final Melbourne is leading by 5 goals.
    In the cruelest insult of all, Beelzebub himself will manifest himself in the stadium to announce that the match will be called off before devouring the premiership cup and immediately defacating it as a pile of molten slag in front of a bevy of inconsolable Melbourne supporters. :cool:

    Are there lyrical content categories?

    Melb in front by 5 goals at 3/4 time against the Cats with the premiership seemingly in our grasps. A delay to the start of the qtr due to lightning gives the tired Cats an extra 15 minutes. The Cats run over the top of Melbourne with Hawkins kicking a goal after the siren due to a blocking free.

    We lose to Geelong next week, then Covid closes down the finals and Geelong is declared the premier.

    You win.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
