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

No he was actually pretty philosophical and even mentioned the deliberate against Gus just before being strange.  Pretty fair & classy overall i thought.

 

We had the top 3 players for pressure acts and 5 of the top 7:

  1. Viney 35
  2. Oliver 34
  3. Harmes 28
  4. Dangerfield 24
  5. Parfitt 24
  6. Petracca 24
  7. ANB 24

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? 

Talking of Selwood....what the hec was the game stopped for when he went off the ground with about 7 min to go?? I saw no blood and thats about the only reason the ump stops a game for a player to come off.

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"

I actually thought the 50m was pretty clear cut, it was out by 2.5m when he fisted it 12 rows back and the umpire had called the out of bounds. I’ll admit I didn’t see what it was for at the time but when I rewatched it I felt it was very obvious. 

The deliberate was just so unfathomable, it was a hack kick forward and any footy person would tell you we’d want it kept in. It was just as bad as the Clarry one given earlier in the night. He has nothing to complain about with the umpires, doesn’t stop him though.

Agree

But Scott didn't see it as such 🤣

Hey Picket! Maxy and Spargs say hi! Hahahahahaha!!!

yeah happy to some humble pie ...but dont leave it too late

OLIVER PHENOMENAL!!!

The positive will always outweigh the negative after a win like that.

But I was cursing our leaders (particularly May and Gawn at half time with Hawkins and Stanley dominant) but to their credit they came good. 

I hope TMac can come good. Salem featured in many people's votes but I think he is carrying something or is in self preservation mode too often.

Special mention to Viney and Smith. They were good for four quarters.

 

 

 

I think to be fair to Chris Scott the money they have invested in the Umpires Academy has been really really well spent and his team would have won if they had not run out of puff and had been able to cope with sustained pressure.

A few personnel changes and they should do well in the finals 

Clayton Oliver is a champion. I need to state the obvious.

Wasn't philosophical 

Was a thinly veiled whinge against the umpiring 

Randomly just getting all the feels for Steven May.

He currently is third on the list of most games by current players who are yet to play in a final, with 168.

Next week he gets to come off that list.

So next week surely we choose Adelaide to play at. No way would we choose the Gabba or metricon as that would give brisbane an advantage. Tassie isn't great for us either.

Look out for Hawkins when Max takes the mark. A great sight. image.png.c68fefc178aaf1450bdf10ab574e9329.png

Great game, in case that needs saying again…. One for the ages. The team has come good. Even if we don’t win the cup, the club is in good hands if it can perform like that. Bound to take one home in this era.

Lol! Chris Scott in presser saying they were disappointed because they controlled the game but didn't win. They lost 3 out of 4 quarters FFS!

What. A. [censored].

OK, now I've collected myself. I was never going to leave it at 'I'm now a believer' as I was in the @P-man camp in that I really didn't know what to say.

What an unbelievable win.

I will likely get a noise complaint from the neighbours in the next few days for how much I went off when Maxy dobbed the match winner, but I don't give a toss. 😄

While some might say 'The gameday thread was awful... Hang your heads..', you couldn't really say that their pessimism wasn't deserved.

Call me Mark Neeld, but I didn't see that coming! That was absolutely from the clouds stuff. 😃

The most reassuring thing about that was that it showed that while we can strangle teams, we can STILL also turn it on when we want to. It's not the style of game we should be aspiring to as I much prefer consistent 4 quarter efforts rather than streaky football. But that being said, like our win against the Lions, knowing if we need to go Showtime, we can do that as well is amazingly reassuring.

Huge hats off to the blokes who should and did lead us to the win: Maxy, Clarry, Tracc and Lever. The latter to me was a huge factor in that game, especially as May probably did lower his colors somewhat to Hawkins. He just kept playing his game, even when they started getting on top.

Maxy has been an absolutely inspired choice as captain, as quite frankly, he is what NONE of us would have chosen as a captain in 2012 even if we knew about how we would turn his career around post 2015. I can remember around the time of Bails' sacking and Neeld's ascension that some were saying we needed a contested ball, teetotal, intensity monster who'd had his sense of humor gland removed. Maxy is far from that, but he shows the genuine care for his teammates with an intensity for when it matters. He stepped up tonight as Dogga was somewhat quiet and was absolutely gargantuan.

Clarry has had as good a games this year, but the difference tonight can be summed up in one word: goals. He didn't have any set shots (something he'll still need to work on), but the fact he was able to hit the scoreboard was invaluable. Plus as Maxy said in that interview, his will to win is unbelievable. He and Jack Viney are cut from the same cloth in that regard, but Clarry clearly has a lot more tricks than Jack. There's just something special about him.

Good luck me getting sleep now. I'm still buzzing. I didn't shed a tear when we won as I was still crapping my pants that Maxy might have missed that goal, and then throwing myself crazily around like Richard (why can't I just type the bloke's actual stage name in?) Valentine in the 'Dance Commander' video by Electric Six. On second viewing, I must admit my eyes got a bit moist.

I'm not crying... YOU ARE CRYING! :jakovich:

Had to write Richard instead of the usual truncated version of that name. What do you actually do when someone with that name is referenced on here?

He did concede that the free kick against Brayshaw was bulldust. Don' worry, I despise him...

God seeing the above posts of the scoreboard dating back to the second worst loss in AFL history, which resulted in the sacking of Dean Bailey, RIP. It made me realise how much recent history we've had at this ground. From Gawn's coming out party and huge upset win down there in 2014. The horrible loss in Roos' last game, the more recent loss after the siren when Touhy kicked it after the siren, and now this..... Incredible.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
