If anyone doubted Gawn's ability as a leader that should be completely put to bed after his last quarter tonight.  As great as Oliver was, Gawn was the momentum changer in the last.  Jackson was a non event tonight and Gawn's last quarter was one of the great Captain's efforts.  For those who followed footy in the 80's, that shot at goal after the siren might bring back memories of 1987 final round.  Steve Kernahan had to do the same as Max to seal top spot for Carlton.  He did, and it probably won them the flag.  Let's hope history repeats.

    Now that my heart rate is below 160 bpm, have typed effusively into Demonland, have marched around my house with arms in the air as if I kicked the winning goal, and the family have gone to bed - I have 2 confessions to make:

    1. At 3/4 time I said to my oldest son (21 yo) that the 2021 Dees can kick 6 goals to 0 in a quarter but I couldn't see it happening.

    2. I couldn't watch Max kick for goal. I just couldn't. 

    Sitting here at my laptop right now, I feel really good, and can't wait for the finals to start. 

    P.S. - is it wrong that I would like to see a picture of Selwood's face after Max kicked the goal?

    It was said tonight that this was the very first time that the Cats have lost at Kardinia with such a big lead in the 3 rd quarter ! Kudos Dees 

    Heart slowly returning to normal . I thought I was about to burst my aorta

    I've dreaded games in Geelong for so long. So much misery attached to games there. One of the great wins in the history of our club. Hopefully, defines the season and an era.

    Apparently that was the last time a captain kicked the winner after the siren. And yeah, they won the flag that year.

    What did he say, he couldn’t possibly have complained about the 50m penalty…

    Yep

    Haven't seen one of those paid in a while, strange one 

    But also that the deliberate OOB was also a strange one

    Hence it was a "comedy of errors"

    My two kids (8 and 6 yo) were going nuts. My 8 year old said his legs were still shaking 5 minutes after the game

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
