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

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
