This is the 1981 NFL season when the up and coming 49ers finally broke through to beat America's team the Dallas Cowboys. 

And Max is our Joe Montana.

    I know they call soccer the beautiful game but that was beauty in chaos like you will rarely see.

    One of my friends texted during the 3rd quarter:  it was beautiful to watch, like dancing on the field. when our players were carrying the ball with overlap play.

    Couldn't have been choreographed better.  It was beautiful and mesmerising.

    Scanning will tell the story. Not to get too complicated, but the way it happened, by landing on his straightened leg, thus compressive force transferring up to his Lumbar facet joints, which can absolutely refer pain to the posterior thigh thus tightening the hamstring as a reaction, it’s entirely possible his back is the cause. This would be fantastic, because 2 weeks is ample to rest, loosen, stretch and away he goes. The ‘typical’ hammy is a running injury, accelerating or decelerating, resultant from a wicked conspiracy of length and tension, thus a tear. If May’s is a tear, it’s ‘grade one’, scan will reveal it and he’s a no go, because 3 weeks minimum. The cruel thing is he‘ll likely feel fine by the GF, even be up to full sprint. The problem is that the risk of re-tear under 3 weeks is very high, particularly in a game situation - fatigue combined with ballistic, accelerating take-offs and speed contrasts. The scan will tell all. All Demonland fingers crossed please.

    Morning Demonlanders. Well, what a night. I recommend watching the replay whilst playing Sweet Georgia Brown on a loop in the background.

    Time to delete the “is Goodwin the right guy” thread. He had a clear vision of the game style he wanted us to play and stuck to it. Last night his vision was on full display

    Just woke up after a big night. It was a completely dominant performance. The atmosphere and support was amazing. Felt like 20,000 Melbourne supporters sneaked over the border. Still at a loss for words. Now to sort out unfinished business.

    Thanks for this insightful comment. 
     

    I’m curious as to whether the risk of a re-tear (should it reveal itself as one) is a risk that May and the club will take.

    Lets be honest most of us are one eyed red and blue supporters.

    In 2000 we dreamt of what could be as we did three years ago.

    Both were misguided.

    In 2000  we met an incredibly talented dons team and in 2018 while our two finals efforts were great it was always a long shot against eagles at home.

    But this year after being minor premiers, smashing lions and cats we must be faves and thus our best chance in over fifty years to win a flag.

    My goodness.

    Im elated just making it. It must be euphoric to actually win one.

    No expert by any means but that was my take, it wasn't a running injury as is normal with hamstrings but the way he landed, fingers crossed

    Couple of issues. The risk is very high. Grand Final speed and intensity makes that more likely. If the choice of medical sub was taking this into account, I guess that’s something, but what if a midfielder then goes down? The other issue is long term hammy issues with an aggravated tear. As wisdom has it, don’t play injured players. I remember watching Phil Davis play in GWS’ GF, with his NQR lower leg issue, and it was horrible. Bad decision.

    I wonder if our round 23 comeback had any part in our win yesterday.

    It fuelled our confidence and no doubt gave them concern if they could really win.

    Was great to see us toying with them in the third quarter.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
