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.

I’d really enjoy reading this forum more if there weren’t ads in between telling me where I can find my “Asian sweetheart.” 😏

Nearly three weeks on - please tell me I am not dreaming.  
Maybe I should watch the second half again (10th - 15th time) just to make sure. 🥰😍❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙😮

Haha - so I’m not only one who receives that  type of soliciting

Understandably after 63 pages, we're beginning to repeat ourselves.

 

But hell, why not?!


Just casually reading through this thread and whoops! I've accidentally watched the entire 2nd half again.

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? 😉

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.) 😁

I love the vision of Charlie just as the final siren sounds. It’s like it caught him unawares. 💕❤️💙

 

Three weeks later and I find I routinely still have to pinch myself. Talk about the afterglow!

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
