I may watch the replay for the whole day

Do it. Honestly we were all over them but for 10 minutes. It’s a testament to our coaching quality that they could see beyond the emotion of the scoreboard and remind the players we were doing so well. It takes a skill I don’t have to watch football as it’s happening with that emotional intelligence. I suspect it’s why coaches love certain stats.

For decades we have lacked a player who could turn a game. A young red head did it yesterday and I believe has many more of those in him.

Just watched the last two minutes again (possibly a couple of times).

Gawn signalled to Lever, “put it there”. The kick from Lever was an absolute ripper. Couldn’t have put it more in the right spot.

Haven't seen anything apart from the last 2 minutes.

Why are people talking up Sparrows game? He only had 12 touches  or so. How did he impress?

 

Oh, and tsk tsk to all of you doubters.

The new and improved faulty had faith we would win (apart from going to bed after checking  the scores at half time).

 

This is the year we win the flag. Get on board and prepare your kids for endless gloating and teasing of Pies/Blues/Hawks/Tigers/essedon fans.

What did Goody say at half time?? 

amazing coaching to get us to reset and not drop our heads. Back ourselves in. The boys will remember this when down 4-5 goals in the future. Trust each other and we can do it

That kid made a great contribution across the game - tough, willing, capable, with vision and intent. Put up with the dirty stuff from Geelong and carried on like matured footballer.

Well done, Sparrow.

He can take a mark Sparrow, he is a ripping over head mark stood up beyond his years.

Umpire judged that Melbourne deliberately kicked it out of bounds when that was obviously not the intent.

Yep, even the commentators were in disbelief. I think it was Darcy who was saying “insufficient attempt? Why would Melbourne NOT wanna keep it play?!”

He took some important marks in key areas of the ground all contested he was massive in the last, he'll have bucket loads of confidence heading into the finals.

What made it all the more staggering was that a clearly more deliberate one wasn’t paid against Selwood about 20 seconds earlier. That’s the joy of rules that require the umpire to read the players’ minds.

Doesn’t matter though. No free against Brayshaw -> no shanked kick by Guthrie -> no needless punch in to the stands -> no 50 to Lever -> no Gawn mark with 10s to go. All the decisions, good and bad, got us to arguably our favourite MFC moment of all time for those of us too young to see ‘64. Well umpired, umpires!

Guthrie’s attempt to waste time backfired badly when he was arguing with the umpire about some irrelevance and then told to play on forcing him to kick in a hurry and OOTF.

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!

Agree it was a nice spot to put the kick Nasher, but they showed behind the goals footage of the Max mark on ‘ The Round So Far’  and Stanley will be hiding under his bed for a couple of nights after watching that. No body contact whatsoever and was daydreaming. That’s footy though, we’ve often dissected instances like this one over the years.

Would it be fare to say that winning a game against Geelong with a kick after the siren is up there with winning a game against Collingwood by a point?

I’ve still got PTSD flashbacks from Jimmy Toumpas fumbling in the defensive goal square to enable a Leigh Montagna open goal. Ergh.

Mistakes happen. Glad it was the other suckers ruing theirs last night.

He played an amazing last quarter. Still a bit underrated as a player IMO.

Thought it was hilarious hearing Trac (I think it was) post game saying it was a 'bit of a flat kick inside 50'.

dangerfield was cramping, badly, from about the 7 min mark of the last quarter

clayton has already said in the post-match interview that when max was lining up he was asking him how his calf was feeling

puddy tatts are still a threat but if they lose to port they will be up against it as all those old legs clearly need a rest

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
