Best “Before and After” ever. EVER.

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

    • 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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
