(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?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
