Well, let’s be honest.

If you are drinking something that needs/has coke in it then it’s should be spilt and or poured down a sink. Now to celebrate, go get a good single malt, drink it neat and be much happier 😃

I know he had to kicks smothered, but I thought he was really good last night

They were both first quarter, and very frustrating, but he learned pretty quickly. He was immense in the last. I love his physicality and contested, competitive buy-in. That was his best game, and pretty much secures him for next week. Well done Tommy!

Haha, aaaaah. Hawkins. Bad luck, chap.

I loved how the the Karma turned around so completely in 37 minutes of footy.  I hope port belt them next week.

Sparrow takes great pride in hurting blokes.

Same happened to me as well. Very poor of Foxtel. Get your act together nuff nuff's. Promptly set up a new replay early this morning. Has anyone else noticed that for set shots for goals none of our players are spinning the ball on the runup. This used to really pi$$ me off and could well have contributed to many points being scored.

Press the small red button when you record games MT64, it adds 25 mins to program you record, i always do this with any live AFL game, its saved me a few times from missing end of match

Just watched the last two minutes again. Why wouldn’t you! The decision to penalise Brayshaw was crazy but just prior to that, Selwood’s kick to the boundary line has far more intent. FWIW

Still buzzing

What about May’s deliberate in the 1st. Absolute rubbish that hasn’t been paid all season.

Agree. Umps favoured cats all night. Disgraceful. Dees beat 21 again !!!

Was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen. It bounced off his chest in sliding desperation. Inconceivable. How my head didn’t explode, or the Umps head by the sheer collective weight of MFC supporter disbelief and anger will remain one of the year’s great mysteries. Mind you, the insufficient intent decision in the last 50 seconds was on the podium. Were both decisions from umpire Stevic?

You're welcome to my old computer Pickett, let me know when you want to pick it up



I bet you woud take that win over your PC any day of the week 👍

Just checking in to make sure i didnt dream all that.

[pinkshark 935]

What a [censored] win!!!!

I jumped on last night read the post game thread straight after the game. Some hilarious posts that express our bewilderment at what we long suffering fans are now experiencing. 
we just come from 40 odd down to beat geelong at home after the siren with a Maxy mark and goal to secure the minor premiership and avoid an Adelaide final against an Adelaide team. 
Melbourne I’m talking about. Us!

My only regret is that it did not happen with the stadium full of cats. Imagine? 

We would have lost. The 'crowd noise affirmation' would have made the umpiring more biased and would have got the Puddytats over the line.

Never witnessed so many early morning posts!!!

What about the deliberate call against May in the first quarter which resulted in a Geelong goal?

A half-volley bounces off his chest and they said it was deliberate.

[Rab D Nesbitt 7,113]

You'll never believe this but I had this crazy dream last night that we came back from almost eight goals down against Geelong to win the minor premiership and Maxy kicked the winner after the siren. 

Yeah, I know. Mental. 

 

[Smokey 4,126]

Incredible win. It’s ours to lose to this year. 
 

Thank you Max

Utter delirium and mayhem in the home last night. 8 year old daughter jumping up and down like a lunatic, screaming at the TV, finger raised repeatedly (not in salute but vicious derision), shouting, “Suck that, Geelong. Suck it!” 11 year old running laps of the living room, swearing and hyperventilating (she’s still traumatised by other Kardinia Park experiences which can not be named), wondering if what she saw was real.

Never have I been more proud of such feral behaviour.

So, anyway, how does one who lives in the lockdown capital (Melb) of Australia  get oneself to Perth in September?!

Haven't slept all night RTG, still on a high, this must be what drugs feel like, just about to watch replay for the 4th time, never thought anything would come close to how it good it felt after beating the Dogs in the final round of 87, this is damn close

That last deliberate was just a disgrace  - absolutely no feel or understanding of the game maggot.  Why would a team striving to get a goal within possibly the last seconds do that?  No understanding at all.  Should be hauled over the coals, but won’t 

Could have been worse, the ump could have paid that free, or a free could/should have been paid to us for Selwood’s kick out of bounds in the play before that, in which case we probably would have ended up falling short. The footy gods were looking after us, it seems.

[Mazer Rackham 14,969]

At half time I thought we were gone. Too far back, against our bugbear team, and they would arm wrestle us to the finish. But I thought, if that doesn't give us incentive to fire up against Port, nothing will.

Even a close loss would have shown that no lead is too big. Disappointing but not the end of the world.

A shame to keep having to have losses to gee us up though.

But to win it!!

Huge mental victory for us and demons for the other finalists. (No pun intended.)

Huge mental victory.

No team can beat us when we're on.

No deficit is too big.

We will steamroll our way through September.

Our destiny is in our own hands.

GO DEMONS!!!!!
