Max Gawn’s goal - the commentary

Surprising to me was the balanced KRock commentary ….. is that a 21st century  version of 3GL?

And looking at it for the 50th time it looks more and more like it should have been a double 50 with Dangerfield and then Close encroaching on the line.  Would have lessened the excitement and drama of Lever’s absolutely inspired brilliant pass to Max in space.  
 

Also, to get picky, that long blond haired Geelong guy had both his arms around May right in front of goal as Lever sent his miraculous kick on its brilliant way. 
 

Boy oh boy how pi553d off would we be had May Lever Petty Max Jacko Brown Tom all stood around and left Hawkins to mark uncontested were the rôles reversed?

    On reviewing the footage, almost looked like Brad Close could have made it a double 50m for Lever as he ran into the protected area while Cameron stood on the mark.

    I thought that at the time and still think it should have been. We've been penalised before in situations where the player's only chance to not be in the protected area would have been to vanish into thin air.

    Prior to this, my favourite goal on replay was Jack Watts goal in 2017 ( Queens Birthday). This is now my official favourite ❤️ 

    So many great things about the Jack Watts goal but, for me, the look of exhaustion and relief after he slots it, as he puts that rather infamous QB debut (and the ridiculing by Pies fans throughout his career) finally to rest.

    The ABC -

     

    Thanks heaps for these 5 commentaries to THAT video Whispering Jack! Very impressed with your IT skills! My favourite of the 5 you posted is the one from the ABC. With no fake crowd sound, you can hear the Melbourne players unite in a magnificent roar the moment of Max nailing his history making sausage roll after the siren to clinch the minor premiership in 2021. An epoch-making moment forged forever in my memory, and without doubt for countless other Melbourne supporters also. Bring on the finals and GO you MIGHTY DEES!

    I was on a WhatsApp group exchange with 3 die hard Geelong fans during the game.

    Lot of goading and ribbing during the game going on. In the morning I received another message saying they couldn't believe they'd lost.

    I followed up saying I couldn't believe it either. I said I keep replaying the final sequence but the results don't change.

    Told them the best part was the reaction of the Geelong players.Such an enjoyable experience and they should watch it again too.

    Yep and Lever was walking right behind him and made half a guesture....just moved in time

    I have watched that replay more than hannans goal in the 2018 elim.

    Speaking of which, at this point we need someone to set the last 30 seconds and kick to Titanic theme.

    Press play, close your eyes and picture it like you're listening on the wireless. Wonderful!

    I was in the mid west of WA, by the camp fire, on my own listening on the ABC and it was Wonderful. I loved how quickly the Grand Old Flag came on it was a stunning confirmation, I reckon the ball had barely landed in the grandstand!

    The ABC one is good coz no fake crowd noise but who is that clown laughing at Max and saying he’s gonna miss?!?!

    Brendon Goddard, to me it was in a, "I hope he doesn't miss" context.

    As the ball sailed thru I could imagine you screaming frightening the wild camels. Take care out there.

    Absolutely.

    I didn't pick that up live, but if lever had made any move to play on it had to be 50 metres. He was basically directly in front of lever

    Watched Levers kick to Max a dozen times now. Can't fathom him being unmanned.

    Cats perhaps thought Lever going the long kick for goal.

    Poor footy as well as smart footy from Max and Jake. Although Kozzie could have got in the way if he ran into that space.

    Really poor play by Rhys Stanley - yet given votes by Scott. Unbelievable

    For a bit of extra fun, watch the replay of Lever's kick and Macy's mark several times and watch the reactions/ body language of different Cats players each time. For mine it just adds to the joy of the thing exponentially!!

    Read on the ABC. (?) that Maxy’s goal was the first by a Melbourne player to win a match after the siren, 

    can that be correct ?

    I have done that! In fact, it’s my new hobby.

    Correct weight.

    Should have been a 100m penalty, but then hey, we wouldn't have gotten that incredible ending.

    The ABC commentary...wow.

    I had no idea their commentary box had devolved so much.

    Was waiting to hear the gurgle of a bong while Max lined up for the kick.

    It wasn’t after the siren but the TMac late goal against Methcoast a couple of years ago was a classic

    Also watch for Neal-Bullen's early start to the celebrations - he was confident!

    Thank you for furnishing me with an excuse. I may have to watch it several more times just to make sure I see ANB’s reaction. 😉

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
