64 times eh MR?

I love watching the semi where we absolutely creamed the cats, and one thing both this and the GF have in common is the shell shocked look on the opposition faces, they were in awe of us.  


Sliding doors, Saints take Tracc instead of McCartin and we take Parish instead of Clarrie.

Clarrie said in an interview recently he was pretty sure he was going to the Bombers.

A follow on to the other clip - more enjoyable as more demons 👍

Oh man, this just never gets old. Every time I watch this (and any other post-match footage) it’s like I’m seeing it for the first time. I don’t think I could possibly love this team any more than I already do. ❤️💙

Until we gazumped them with one of the best examples of trading up in the draft ever seen

Reckon the Hawks trading up to get Lewis at 7 (alongside Roughie & Buddy at the top end) rivals what we did

Josh Mahoney hey?  Left a terrific legacy with just that one acquisition (C Oliver)

But we could assume that the whole football dept. wanted Clarrie (especially Jason Taylor)

It was Gus with his work on the field and that interview with Gary Lyon where he talked about how this was for everyone that really summed it up for me.

He was the one that kept grinding away when the game was in the balance and then summed it up so we'll post match. Heart and Soul.

I even like what Eddy has to say in this video.  His quote that the game became the "Slaughter in the last quarter" was great.

Actually quite like Brad Johnson as a comentator.  At times he says some 'dumb' sounding things, but generally I find that his analysis of footy is intelligent, knows when to lighten the mood and have a laugh, but the thing I like about him most is that he always seems to come across really humble, respectful and not full of himself.

This is striking with just about every post-match interview. The players always acknowledge us supporters. They all seem to ‘get it’ which is incredible since they haven’t lived through the pain felt by so many of us through the decades. Maxy says for him it’s been 11 years and immediately mentions how it’s been so much longer for others. And it’s totally genuine when they say this premiership is for us. It’s actually heartfelt. ❤️💙

I know an ex AFL listed player - he was coached by one R. Barassi - who lives up Wang way who said at the time Clarrie was drafted  he carried a lot of 'baggage'. I've asked him to elaborate since, and he said it was down to habits and personality traits, his talent was never in question. The lad has certainly come a very long way and I take all of my hats off to him.

I watched the replay today.

One thing i can tell you - dont pick your nose after kicking a goal in the GF.

Just watched it myself. I keep wondering why I was so worried when it was happening 🤣

Just watching back that 3rd with SEN synced. It's a great call, but gee wiz, Healy needs to get his special comments in a little bit faster, he's finishing up right as the ball hits the deck for Petracca dribble, or right when Jackson has gone up for the bounce, leaving Huddo to rapidly get out his call as we're streaming forward. Though Huddo isn't as quick as he once was. I think I preferred when Whately was calling, he really focuses on each possession, gets out it rapidly without being bogged down by a phrase.

Working my way through the season on the Kayo/Foxtel replays.

Up to the WCE game in Perth.

They just jump from the end of Q3 to the start of Q4 and completely miss the drama of the "lightning break." It underscores how important context is historically. Hope someone is archiving full games with extra comments for future generations.

I'd also like to see a closing section that shows all the player votes from different comps including the Brownlow. A pre-game caption showing ins and outs would also help.

These are historical records after all.

PS: Jackson's increasing dominance in the latter half of the season is a joy to watch. He had very  few one on one duels with Naitanui but perhaps next year.

Didn't the lightning break happen during the last quarter?

I loved how the ump raised his arms in the air signaling that lightening was interrupting play.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
