Also, Gerard Whately's call seconds later when the ball sailed through - "it was up at Sparrow's and just kept going".

 

Great theatre.

    I've been watching through the last 45 minutes with different radio commentaries.  The SEN was a good as I expected it to be (Whateley and Huddo are the best going around imo).  The 3AW one was actually better than I expected. Looking forward to watching more (ABC call up next).

    One thing I've come to realise is just how good the Sparrow goal was (2nd last one of the third term).  In the ecstasy of the moment and the focus on the centre breaks, I hadn't grasped how good that kick was.  Off a step from 50m out.  Wonderful kick and great work by TMac on the line.  He will become a great weapon going forward.

    It was a brilliant goal he had to receive the handball and kick off one step 50m+ m whilst 4 Bulldogs were trying to get him from all sides.

    that third quarter, I just can't get enough. 3 goals inside a minute, not once but twice. holy [censored], put the game away. I love the look on the dogs players after Oliver kicks his goal, they are totally gobsmacked

    No more will they be able to say, 'Oh, the Queen's Birthday is their Grand Final' or 'Anzac Eve is their Grand Final'. The Grand Final is our Grand Final.

    Nah, just trying to find 'somewhere' to wedge in a $hite reference to his name from the run sheet.

    It’s great isn’t it? Sometimes I don’t even watch the play anymore during the replay, I’ll look at the background for players reactions to certain plays. Spargo is my fav, always on his own somewhere back there clapping, cheering, fist pumping. A bit of a funny moment is when he spots up Fritsch for his 5th he does this little hop in the air shortly before Fritta marks almost like he’s urging the ball to land in his arms.

    I always got a smile on my dial watching Spargo during Hannans goal in 2018 during the elim against Geelong.
    He's running parallel to Hannan and goes through the action of kicking the ball when he wants Hannan to kick it 😂❤️

    They're not interested in that stuff.
    You'd be better off cutting to the chase and stating your financial status.

    Just the thought of dating dating purely on race seems almost racist. Isn’t it inside what counts? 😉

    Yeah $60 for the sake of not scrolling past an ad. I think I’ll put up with it a bit longer

    Umm, that sub money helps Andy keep the place going. I don’t think the ad revenue is that much really.

    And ads these days - unless you have a VPN - is you get ads for things that reflect what you google or search for in FB and the like…

    Just sayin’

    “they are totally gobsmacked” That was the beginning of junk time. When we scored 2 goals in the first two minutes of the last quarter it was already an anti climax. 5 goals scored in 3 minutes of actual game time. The bulldogs were broken and no fight left.

    Yeah, the inside of his wallet. According to @Fork 'em anyways. (See above.) 😁

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
