I've got a problem, I don't have Kayo currently, relying on Foxtel for fox footy (long story). I turned on this morning right at the last quarter and have been IQ rewinding back and watching again repeatedly but now I can't change the channel because I'll lose it! 

1st world problem of the highest quality. 

Bin your Foxtel subscription and get Kayo and Binge. Much cheaper and much more modern. Depending on your tv model you may need a Apple TV / chromecast device.

Whoever was on Dangerfield in the final quarter well done. I did notice he was on the bench a bit but to keep him to 0 possessions is a huge win for us. 

On my TV look like Selwood was on him

10 year ago in one of the last games of the year Geelong beat us by 186 points. How much can change in time. Now we’re the party poopers

 

I reckon that win would have gutted cats fans.

It was theirs to lose and they are so used to winning at kardinia.

Oh well😁

Ok so have watched the replay a few times and am trying to make sense of the second quarter particularly where they kicked 8 consecutive goals. 
 

I’m not prepared to accept that it was an anomaly and for the amount of times Goodwin has said learnings this and learnings that - there has to be a lot of learning there. 
 

2-3 goals were pure @$$ Hawkins and Cameron goal line were massive defensive breakdowns.

There were about 4 goals however that were front of stoppage clearances, which says something about our midfielders. We were absolutely smashing them in Q1 here so not sure how this was able to flip the other way so quickly - then to flip back in Q4. The Lions and Power are a formidable stoppage team so we need to get this right. 
 

I’m also starting to get annoyed with Lingers (shocking I know) but his dinky high , slow kicking into forward 50 are just pointless. I think he needs to either square it up to high HF for somebody else to make the entry or kick it to the top of square if there is not an out number. Usually the ball comes straight back out.

For sure CYB. The long story short is the living situation currently and there’s Foxtel here. Getting Kayo moment that changes.

I knew the two points from the Hawks draw would come in handy.

Billy was in disbelief this morning on the Footy Show.  Said he woke about 5 times having nightmares about the finish

Bbb may not be smashing the scoreboard( he's going ok) but he's certainly providing a target and stopping teams from intercept marks. Made a big difference I reckon since he's been in.

They can't give him any space and have to double team him

But Karma's a [censored]. that punch after it went over the boundary to again waste time was fitting revenge for the numerous deliberates against us not being paid. Great win Dees.

I reckon after the Brayshaw deliberate, the umps had an "oh [censored]" moment and that made them trigger happy for the 50, which (although in the rules) would have not surprised had it not been paid.

Gotta say it was strange danger was off the ground for so long in the last.

Old man needs his nap. Scott has been agitating for the finals bye for good reason.

Our "hand of God" moment!

Listening to commentary on the replay when you know what’s about to happen is just so rewarding. Darcy and Richo saying at 3/4 time that we’ll bounce back next week against Port. I’m just sitting here like…

Think this was many of us last night , many a baby were woken up 

As elated as anything by last night and still in shock but I feel bad my nerves got the better of me and for turning off the game twice.

First because I couldn’t bear it to see us get pumped in the 2nd. Second when the umpires nearly gave away the game with the Deliberate Out of Bounds in the final quarter. 

I never leave a game at the G no matter how far we are behind but I guess with 2020/2021 I wanted to protect myself from suffering any more trauma.

I’m glad the Dees have again proved me wrong - just as they did when I thought we’d lost against North at half time earlier in the year. 

I hope they continue to prove me wrong in September 🤞🏻

Darcy's a d&%k. I expected more from Richardson. When I heard them say that, I thought there was a big chance of egg on face. The momentum had clearly started to swing our way before three quarter time. Classic group think stuff. 


LOL at the thought of Dr D having spent the entire match typing up as much vitriolic bile as is conceivable, with thumb hovering over “submit reply” button waiting for the siren, only to have Maxy rain on his parade. 😆

Geelong are cooked. Mentally scarred from that. Will go out in straight sets.

For those of you wondering if watching the full replay is worth it. It is. 

Couple of take aways from the second time around:

Kozzie looked on, and was very agile around stoppage.

Lever was ridiculously good.

Oliver is the player you want when the chips are down.

Max was exceptional after half time.

Tom Sparrow is a great mark for his size. Needs to work on his foot skills.

Brown did what he needed to do. Spargo the same.

Tmac and May will be better for the run.

The big takeaway - Standing up in tackles is the way through a teams defence at stoppage. It’s frustrating to watch players get caught with the ball, but clearly both sides know to take the heat and draw players in so you can get them on the outside. I think this is why Viney is viewed as integral to our game plan.

Viney was back to his manic best. He's got his faults but the bloke would run through a brick wall in big games. Some amazing smothers and chasing.

I love Kozzies work and just watching him play but bloody hell Spargo is underrated.

Two goals in the last QTR. He's our smallest player and he tackles like a man posessed. I remember kids like that at school. They were small and they would hit you like a freight train. Charlie has a point to prove. He's not flash but he's as hard as nails and super smart.

Best win ever! The lid is off and I'm going to embrace the next four weeks as something to really cherish with this team.

Go Dees and thanks to everyone on Demonland for their company.

Yes! The two things I kept yelling at the TV in the last was "run them off their legs" and "scar them"

Hamish said the Cats have NEVER been beaten when 32 points or more ahead at 3/4 time. 

Until last night.

And as Jordan lewis said on Kayo , in the finals if the Dees are down by a few goals at 1/2 time they will still think they can win (as with the Lions game this season)

The cats now on the other hand  when being ahead  will think......

No, I think at least 50,000 of us were doing that exact same stance at that exact same moment.  Not many fully invested supporters would have remained in their chair while Gawn took that kick!

 

My favourite thing was athletic Jackson getting all those plaudits throughout the week, with Max throughout most of the year happy to take a small back seat to our young ruck prince. Final quarter of the season with a minor premiership on the line, and big Max goes into hold my beer mode, collecting three clearances and running through the centre as if he's a link-up mid.

The afl site will have full replay up today. No registration or fees required 

Logic just wasn’t high on the agenda this morning I’m afraid Binman. All I wanted to do was rewind using the Foxtel remote again and again and again. I couldn’t watch it again soon enough each time.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
