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.

    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.

    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. 😉

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
