Ha.

They didn't even fit in a joke about snow, Range Rovers or cheese platters.

The Hun are showing some restraint! Who'd have thunk it?

Jake Niall on The Age's real footy podcast made a crack about Dees fans trading in their snow passes for a trip to WA and got shouted down very quickly by both Caro and (I think) Sam McClure.

I fully retract my comment now. And wonder if I need to check in at the optometrist. Or if Mark Knight is just a shiffy cartoonist.

The Hun are still complete muppets. 😆

What is “shiffy” in American? 😁

There was so much to unpack in that last two minutes, and unpack it we have. But I just wanted to make another point: how cool, calm and collected was Max in that final play?! First that mark, he made it look effortless. If you just saw that mark, not in the context of the moment, you wouldn’t think so much was at stake. His demeanour didn’t change one iota. Then a few steps into his run up the siren sounds, he stops, glances up at the shot clock, walking backwards to recommence his run up. He was so composed, so focussed, so calm. Unbelievably chill. What a legend!

I’m sure I’m not the only one who hasn’t come down from the clouds, yet. (Not planning to anytime soon, either. 😊)

An attempt to get around the censorship of the foul language I occasionally use. 😎

Also, is American a language that has just been recognized? Or are you referring to American spelling or dialect?

So, only one change to the composition of the eight (although not the order) whether teams play each other once or some teams are played twice. To my mind, this is sufficient evidence that the annual concern about the draw not being even isn't really warranted.

Unless you’re Richmond or St Kilda. GWS are pretty happy with the draw though.

At the end of the H & W season there only 2 teams (dogs and lions) with a greater percentage. A very tidy result for the Dees.

Michael Gleeson, wasn’t it?

The age real footy podcast doesn’t waste too much time talking about the Dees

Wow. You would decide Policy using a single year’s data. Worthy of the AFL.

It was really funny listening to Gus and Max on their podcast about what went through their minds in the last 30 seconds or so of the game WCW. Worth a listen IMO.

I just wanted to say what I loved most about post match with the great win against Geelong in Geelong (a very difficult challenge!) was the singing of the Club song of "It's a Grand Old Flag" with Mark "Choco" Williams involved.

Did anyone else see that? He really song our song with great gusto! It was absolutely fantastic! The players love Mark "Choco" Williams and having him at the Club has been fantastic for the players, coaches and supporters alike!

I am going to say that Mark "Choco" Williams is the recruit of the year for the Melbourne Demons! He may be an eccentric old fella but he loves football and is an incredible football person.

Let's hope the Demons can keep him at the Club for many more years!

It was his birthday apparently....

Love this game.  Actually love this last quarter.  
Actually Actually actually actually love the last 45 seconds.  Moments to remember. 
Maxy seals the minor premiership.  
First time since 1964.  
Love it.  Let’s keep the thread alive.

I knew when I made that comment that I was being foolish for the exact reason you identified. You are quite right to have picked me up on it. I've allowed myself to be captured by my own confirmation bias!

Now that I've admitted my error, I guess I won't be able to get a job with the AFL.

I haven’t turned my mind to Saturday night yet still enjoying the after glow of that unbelievable last quarter and in particular that last 27 seconds. I have had a lot of issues in the way that our games have been called  this year but come the man come the moment and Hamish Mc called it in an inspirational way that will go down in history as one of the most significant plays of all time. Loved it.💕💕

  • 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.
