Does anyone on here need to fess up that they cracked it after the Bonts goal and stormed out only to check the score at 3/4 time and think WTF.

Didn’t ‘crack it’ and leave, but definitely thought we were done.

I just wish someone could have told me that after that goal, they were only going to kick one more for the rest of the game.

When Bont kicked that goal I thought we were in trouble. 

 

The football gods took note of all the Bulldog prayers asking "just one more goal ... please ... just one more goal." Being cruel and capricious gods, they decided: WISH GRANTED

No.  After what I had drunk (to calm the nerves) storming was not an option.  I did let out my best plaintive Aw C'mon Dees.

I will confess to saying to the Mrs when Angus was having that shot on goal 'Get ready to catch this'.

Just watched the repay again.  Noticed a new thing, in that Sparrow was actually kind of amazing.  Had at least three direct goal assists that I noted and he seems to love crashing into bodies.  The kid can play. 

Also, how good was the whole team effort in the second half?  No passengers.  I don't think I've ever seen the team play better than that half. 

Totally agree about Sparrow. Before the finals, I was like how is he still getting a game, drop him and get Jones in. But in each final he contributed. That goal he kicked in the GF was amazing and came at a good time.

Yea hes a talent.

I thought he and Jordan were similar but Sparrow seems a lot stronger and has a great goal sense. Goody made the right choice in Sparrow over Jordan.

That 50 m goal off a step was Trac like. Not bad for a youngster.

His kick to Bbb was cm perfect and he was cool enough not to blaze away.

Watch this player I reckon.

Ditto but I can understand how one can get greedy and want another four or five of these.

Bring on 2022.

How far do people think Fritta was to winning the medal?

Must have been close. He could have easily had seven.

 

I have it on good authority that Goody knew after Clarry kicked that last goal in the third we had it and his biggest problem was not letting the players know that at the break. He was unsure how to address them but whatever he said worked and they came out and finished the job.


Just watched the replay with the SEN commentary on youtube.

In the three quarter break on screen they posted that ..

Since 1984 only Geelong ( 2009 v saints) has won the flag when trailing at 3/4 time.

I wish i knew watching the game but i suppose after that last min goal spree at the end of the third i felt a little confident.

Maybe we will just merge the 2022 Postgame Grand Final report in to this one.

I watched that version of the game and had to turn it down, they were trying too hard to generate excitement and just succeed in yelling at each other. Even BT and Brayshaw were better.

In fact I love listening to BT squirm when he calls our winning games.

That comment of his when he says "Melbourne are drowning in goals" will have to go down as one of my all time favourites.

As is Brayshaws Bang, Bang Bang Bang.

Probably told them how hard they had worked and to win the next twenty mins.

I dont mind Bt. He goes early too often and calls points goals and makes a meal of players names but I love his genuine enthusiasm. Boy oh boy. I imagine I'd do the same calling a game. 

Brayshaw tries a little too hard but i enjoyed his bang bang bang bang.

A lot of hypotheticals but I could talk about it forever … 


Well he hit the post at the start of the 3rd , 3 goals that quarter would have seen him go damn close. 
Having said that Tracks Bomb from 60 that ironically bounced back over fritsch’s head could have easily bounced through for a goal and nobody was getting the norm from him then.

It was a sling tackle and the little [censored] should have been sighted and suspended. 

Absolutely. And I wonder what he said to Gawn, and whether he had the bottle to apologise after the game.

“This is a rivalry full of nastiness and there’s a few things that stem from it. There are senior players from both sides that don’t particularly get along”.

What’s he talking about? If there is bad blood it was not translated to the game. One of the cleanest GF’s I can remember.

I assume that is Kane Cornes, one of the most moronic commentators in the last 20 years. I’m so glad we don’t have him anywhere near our coaching staff. If we had followed his advice immediately after half time in the Gannie, we would have taken McDonald off, illegally substituted by the medical sub, and reduced Viney’s game time, all of which would have guaranteed a defeat. He is a sensationalist moron. Keep him away from our club at all cost. Our coaching staff are 1000% more astute than him

Pretty sure it was Sam MClure.
Decided the dogs were unhappy they saw Melbourne players on Twitter or some such sheet singing the same song the Dogs were singing in the rooms after they beat Port.

The height of disrespect apparently.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
