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.

SithBPB...

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. 🙂❤️💙🏆

QD gets home after working the late shift. Opens 'Land to get an update on the biggest story of the off-season so far. GAWN! Decides to watch the replay of the granny for a change!

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

Why would it?

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.

Yeah, what happened? Is it gone for legal reasons?

@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.

2021 - winning the flag.  Mr 2000?, some days I feel like it.  (Will soon be eligible to play for the Cats).

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.

Yeah man.
Petracca and Gawns misses on the run from outside fiddy in the last qr of the GF still rankle.

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!!!!! ❤️💙

Damn it all! I never got to be Ms 2021! Curse you, @DeeZone!!!

But, I am Ms 2022. 😉 Read into that what you will, superstitious peeps.

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?

  • 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.
