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?

    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"

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
