(for the sake of getting to 100)

Am I the only one on here, who feels that 'Bang, Bang, Bang' undersold the occasion, and wished like hell the Channel 7 version had someone else in commentary at the time, rather than JB or Bristle?

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 see it as Brayshaw being delirious with amazement at what he was seeing, and became incoherent and unable to articulate his thoughts.

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

He is the embodiment of a trend in radio commentating where the lead commentator is babbling on about the play, and then all the commentators in unison go OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! because of something extraordinary that's happened, and they don't blinking well say what the amazing thing is! Until the moment has passed. Great for the commentators. They're having their post-coital ciggie but leave the rest of us left dangling.

I like what Hamish says after Maxy’s goal in Round 23:

”And just like that… Melbourne are minor premiers. Try and write it. Try and script it. Try and believe it. It’s happened!”

Cheers for the mental image!

Just realised maybe I’m the only one having the disturbing mental image here. In my mind they’re all nude. 😬

And it ain’t pretty

I just had a thought that might put what we're all feeling into a different kind of perspective. How many pages would a regular season game have if it were 1 v 2, we win by 74 points, and there's 3 months till the next game?

Maybe 25?

I think it was pre-planned . JB knew he needed a key phrase for posterity.

Note that after Trac kicked the first goal in the first 1/4  - JB yells"...Petracca goes BANG..."

He was warming up and the phrase was already in the back of his mind. 

Still it was a top call by him after oliver's goal.

Hamish is a lightweight in this area, but I give him credit for this one.  It was excellent for the event that had just unfolded

just to be a pedant (sorry ds)

strictly speaking we can't claim 100 pages until we clock over to 101 pages

at the moment we are only at 99.??

Were you one of those that didn’t celebrate the Millennium on Dec 31st 1999?

😂

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
