I never thought it would be this good.

2021 or the thread, Jontee? (aka 'Mr 2000' - who'll do #2021?)

I just watched the last quarter again and yet again I cried when the final siren sounded. Hearing our song burst out around the ground and seeing our boys doing the stacks-on thing and the unbridled joy, and this overwhelming feeling of relief and pride and gratitude (somebody slap me) it’s like nothing else on Earth. This will NEVER EVER get old.

SithBPB...

I'm making my way through the Highlight Reels thread and recognising for the first time how many times players with the ball instinctively and instantaneously got the ball to a teammate moving at full pace (which never diminished, right to the end) exactly where no break in said full pace was required - 'That Goal' (Jackson to Oliver) and several instances down the outer wing as examples. Electric.

Perhaps a highlights-reel-type could put together a package, please?

This is literally a joy to behold. Pinpoint accuracy is always a pleasure to watch. Now, where was I? That’s right, I’m about to watch the little vid of all 21 goals, again. 🙂❤️💙🏆

QD gets home after working the late shift. Opens 'Land to get an update on the biggest story of the off-season so far. GAWN! Decides to watch the replay of the granny for a change!

Was talking to my sister recently who declared when watching the replay she started full sobbing crying for 5mins when Gawn won the toss 😂

That 16.4 happened with 1.5 quarters to go, equivalent to 66.67 points per quarter or 267 points for the match. Let’s not forget this was against the 2nd best team for the year.

That’s how hot we were.

It wasn't that long ago that we were all complaining about how we couldn't put teams away.

Geez we've found another one or two gears now.

@WalkingCivilWar is right, it's a reference to a recreational pharmaceutical; awful drug, awful song.

Still seething that we allowed those single final quarter goals to Geelong in the PF and Footscray in  the GF 😮.   Need to be more ruthless 🤗

My wife and I have watched that 3rd quarter sequence and last quarter every day since the granny as well as the post game celebrations plus all the highlights reels as well. It has truely been a memorable month that our boys have made possible for us all. Those last 16 goals were exceptional and have been burnt into my memory for ever.

2021 - winning the flag.  Mr 2000?, some days I feel like it.  (Will soon be eligible to play for the Cats).

I watched the last quarter again too.

2 new things stood out.

Jackos kick on goal - when it left the boot the pack got ready to contest/spoil then just stopped as it sailed through.  The ball gets extra lift at that ground?

Adem Yzes head - it is enormous.

Most likely that’s the reason. Well, one of the reasons, anyways.

Just saw it was because people couldn’t keep politics out of a footy forum. 

Pity, I really enjoyed @binman description of contemporary cultural dialogue. It was one of the most eloquent things I’ve ever read on here.

Anyways, back to gloating about the flag please.

Amen to that, THBT! Had I known it was destined for the scrap heap I would’ve taken a screenshot of it, such was its brilliance. And I say that unabashedly. 
But yeah, WE WON THE BLOODY PREMIERSHIP!!!!! ❤️💙

Damn it all! I never got to be Ms 2021! Curse you, @DeeZone!!!

But, I am Ms 2022. 😉 Read into that what you will, superstitious peeps.

Commiserations WCW. I suspect Deezone was an innocent usurper of your claim.

On a day of omens, though, who better to carry the mantle of Ms 2022?!

Do I have the Threepeat burden now, though?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
