Which one?

Eliminating mark and kick, the choices are:

a) When he was the only one who knew the ball was touched and bounded through traffic to kick on the run;

b) Bursting out of the centre to kick from 60 metres on the marginally more elegant run; or

c) Outmuscled ruck in the pocket and kicked the goal even he did not think would go through.

Incidentally, well done team.  Few on line but 99 pages and rising.

In a valiant attempt to get this to 100 pages by New Year's Day, when did you know we had won the GF?

For me it was that moment in the PF, so far ahead in the 3rd quarter but Gus and Hibbo were madly diving in the Geelong goal square to deny even a point. Then I thought 'they will not let anybody beat them'.

ANBs goal to put us up by 42 is when I knew it was done. I felt it before that but when that goal went through I knew we definitely wouldn't lose (even being 5 points short of the Chris Sullivan line I think the time left in the game combined with the ubdeniabke momentum and the fact the Dogs had given up the ghost was enough for me to go one goal early 😅)

The joke's on me 58er as I'm usually the one to pick up on little errors like that.

Scroll up further and you'll see a smarty pants post I already made about Bradshaw/Brayshaw.

You are very well catered for with my below par typing at times.

I must keep you super busy at times !!

Why were there four bangs for three goals?

The first was for the goal itself.
The next three were for the context of the goal.

"Clayton Oliver goes bang, and the demons have gone bang bang bang."

That makes sense, even though there's only 3 goals.

I thought there may have been a silent bang.....like a silent pee in po....

I took this little vid at the event on December 5th and haven’t watched it since, until now that is. I just noticed something in the background. It looks as though there’s two kids embroiled in a punch-up. Am I seeing things?

Idk if I’ve attached it correctly coz not exactly au fait with technology. 😑

Weirdly I actually saw this occurring on the day (unless there were multiple punch-ups between various children...) I think it was Jones that I saw 'breaking it up' by taking the footy, at which point the wrestle, which was really just a ball up situation, was abandoned! Just like in the big time. I remember mainly because I thought this was a smart tactic worth keeping up my sleeve for similar situations!

They had to be the kids of players because regular kids weren’t allowed on the field. Smart move by Jonesy!

I feel like we’re playing Kerplunk (remember that game?) or beat the bomb, or similar. Sooooo close to tipping over the line and hitting the 100-page goal. 😄

C’mon guys… LET’S DO THIS!!!

read it like     bang......(pause)......bang, bang, bang

the first won is either for the 3rd goal of for the whole sequence.  then the last 3 bangs are just playing it out for emphasis

at least that's is how i see it

I think the comment by Taylor that Melbourne are drowning in goals, is right up there with bang etc.

Mind you it may have been a repeat of another time, another game.

BT drowns in waffle.

And while I am at it how does Tony Shaw get a gig on radio with comments like Great Footy....its is bleeding radio

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
