I never thought it would be this good.

2021 or the thread, Jontee? (aka 'Mr 2000' - who'll do #2021?)

    I just watched the last quarter again and yet again I cried when the final siren sounded. Hearing our song burst out around the ground and seeing our boys doing the stacks-on thing and the unbridled joy, and this overwhelming feeling of relief and pride and gratitude (somebody slap me) it’s like nothing else on Earth. This will NEVER EVER get old.

    I'm making my way through the Highlight Reels thread and recognising for the first time how many times players with the ball instinctively and instantaneously got the ball to a teammate moving at full pace (which never diminished, right to the end) exactly where no break in said full pace was required - 'That Goal' (Jackson to Oliver) and several instances down the outer wing as examples. Electric.

    Perhaps a highlights-reel-type could put together a package, please?

    This is literally a joy to behold. Pinpoint accuracy is always a pleasure to watch. Now, where was I? That’s right, I’m about to watch the little vid of all 21 goals, again. 🙂❤️💙🏆

    Was talking to my sister recently who declared when watching the replay she started full sobbing crying for 5mins when Gawn won the toss 😂

    That 16.4 happened with 1.5 quarters to go, equivalent to 66.67 points per quarter or 267 points for the match. Let’s not forget this was against the 2nd best team for the year.

    That’s how hot we were.

    It wasn't that long ago that we were all complaining about how we couldn't put teams away.

    Geez we've found another one or two gears now.

    @WalkingCivilWar is right, it's a reference to a recreational pharmaceutical; awful drug, awful song.

    Still seething that we allowed those single final quarter goals to Geelong in the PF and Footscray in  the GF 😮.   Need to be more ruthless 🤗

    My wife and I have watched that 3rd quarter sequence and last quarter every day since the granny as well as the post game celebrations plus all the highlights reels as well. It has truely been a memorable month that our boys have made possible for us all. Those last 16 goals were exceptional and have been burnt into my memory for ever.

    I watched the last quarter again too.

    2 new things stood out.

    Jackos kick on goal - when it left the boot the pack got ready to contest/spoil then just stopped as it sailed through.  The ball gets extra lift at that ground?

    Adem Yzes head - it is enormous.

    Most likely that’s the reason. Well, one of the reasons, anyways.

    Just saw it was because people couldn’t keep politics out of a footy forum. 

    Pity, I really enjoyed @binman description of contemporary cultural dialogue. It was one of the most eloquent things I’ve ever read on here.

    Anyways, back to gloating about the flag please.

    Amen to that, THBT! Had I known it was destined for the scrap heap I would’ve taken a screenshot of it, such was its brilliance. And I say that unabashedly. 
    But yeah, WE WON THE BLOODY PREMIERSHIP!!!!! ❤️💙

    Commiserations WCW. I suspect Deezone was an innocent usurper of your claim.

    On a day of omens, though, who better to carry the mantle of Ms 2022?!

    Do I have the Threepeat burden now, though?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      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?
