(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?

    Whilst I’m very much looking forward to next year, 2021 was such an unbelievable year, a part of me doesn’t want it to end.

    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.

    or maybe he was just stuttering?

    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

    Things are usually left dangling post-coital activity.

    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.??

    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?

    Another 300-400 pages to pass the Hogan & Goodwin threads. Though it might never get there, given we'll all be re-locating to the 2022 post game Premiership thread in 9 months.

    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.

    I wasn’t too sure about that comment by BT - wasn’t it the Bulldogs who were drowning? - in Melbourne goals?

    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

    You're technically correct and we all know that's the best type of correct.

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

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
