I look at the top pic (every time I open my pantry door) and I think about how when this was taken these boys didn’t know that in a little over three hours’ time history would be made. None of us knew. We hoped. But none of us knew. 

And the bottom pic? Words aren’t needed.

    For a break I’m watching one of my favourite three pre covid games. 
    2000 QF win v Carlton. 
    Green, Bruce and Yze in the last Q. 
     

    My other 2 favourites are in 1994 Final when Ox had a day out v Carlton. 
     

    And 1988 Prelim at VFL Park when we stopped Carlton going back to back. 
     

    Now there’s consequences and penalties for cheating, Carlton have had no success

    It's weird, the more I hear about it the more I just cannot believe we actually did it. On abc grandstand they just replayed highlights and I got all excited again. We actually did it.

    I'm not sure that it is strictly on topic, but here is a list of insults that Dr Smith directed to the robot on Lost in Space ...

    Perhaps they could be adapted for use towards some of the AFL commentators? 

    And yes ... I've probably lost the plot.

    The cheer that went around the MCG when this happened in the replay on the Sunday get-together was as big as any.
    Harmeses have a habit of being involved in Grand Final defining moments, and this is no exception.

    Yep, it was a collective “here we go” moment. As was the booing of Max’s miss 😄

    One ton is roughly equivalent to 2200 pounds or 1000 kg’s. To put this into perspective, the average adult male weighs about 90 kg’s. It would take 11 adult men to equal a ton.

    For those wondering about other things that weigh one ton I’ve provided a list below

    • Baby Humpback Whale
    • Walrus
    • Black Rhinoceros
    • Wild Asian Water Buffalo
    • 1979 Volkswagen Beetle
    • 110.6 million feathers
    • 333 Standard Red Bricks
    • 73 Bullion bars of gold
    • 31.2 cubic feet of saltwater
    • Adult Male Moose
    • Saltwater Crocodile
    • 22 cubic feet of sand
    • Great White Shark

    Your welcome

    Add to this list The Western Bulldogs, still in a TON of pain and hurt😂

    The more I watch the replay, the more I appreciate Fritta's roving abilities and uncanny goal sense. He has light speed reflexes and to be fair it was probably good Hannan moved on and Melksham didnt get a guernsey . Frittas skills are in a very elite class.

    I think Caleb Daniel is a very good smart player............... However, watch Jake Bowey overtake him and become much, much better!

    I’ve always disliked Bradshaw the commentator. But his bang. Bang bang bang! comment I thought was a great bit of spontaneous commentary., until ...

    i was watching the Melb vs Geelong replay of their final round clash. Geelong has just kicked 4 goals in a row of which Hawkins kicked the last 3. Hamish McLachlan states that Hawkins had gone “bang, bang, bang” after Hawkins third. 

    I’ve gone back to seriously disliking Bradshaw the commentator all over again. 

     I'm sorry to disappoint all who love the Bang Bang Bang thing but he stole it from an NBA Commentator. I do love the moment tho and how it related to the game at the time but Brayshaws best moment on tv was stolen from another commentator.

    Mike Breen is the that man, Here are some of his most memorable “Bangs”

    Thanks for the education, but stolen, whatever, doesn't compare to the MFC GF "BANG, BANG, BANG" for impact and iconic moment in sport in my eyes. 

    Love him or loath him as a comentator in general (personally, I think he's ok), but Brayshaw's call has immortalised him as far as I'm concerned.

    It won't even compare to the booing he will get in round 1 at the MCG.

    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'.

    Clarry's goal for me. My head said 24 points was still game on, but in my heart I knew.

    I like Brayshaw and I think his bang thing was awesome and is now iconic. But I think my favourite call of Clarry's goal was on ABC radio. I don't know who the caller was but he said "the demons...they're seeing what paradise must look like." Which just felt completely accurate because in that moment we all left this mortal realm.

    Same here, Deeves. Even though it’s won and done, the Ashes has been very entertaining. And the AO will no doubt be great to watch/go to. But this year is different. This year the footy season can’t come quick enough. This winning feeling is addictive!

    • 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.

      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?
