My 10 year old son who was crying after the Bont’s goal in the third.  He’s just witnessed something amazing and doesn’t quite know it yet. Best game of my life obviously.

The Herald Sun souvenir magazine available with last Saturday's paper has an excellent ground shot taken from behind the goals at Optus Stadium. What is striking is the scoreboard which shows that at the 25.17 minute mark of Q3 the scores were Melbourne 9.10.64 to Bulldogs 9.5.59.

That photo sums up for me the most extraordinary aspect of the game - that it was so close up until a minute before three quarter time.

When Clayton kicked that goal he pointed to every Dees supporter and said ‘We got this’.

It was the moment.

If you watch the replay in slow mo after the goal Tommy Sparrow is running in behind Clarry yelling ‘ffffuuuuuuuccccckkkkiiiing hhhhheeellllllllllll’.
Its amazing. 🤣

Yep, sums up how I felt watched that goal and Clary's celebration/body language afterwards.

Clarry, can be quite reserved and workman like in his celebrations at times, but on other occations he'll puff out his chest a bit and strut around brimming with confidence.

This was definitely a moment of strutting ...and for good reason, that burst of goals we put on the Bullies destroyed their confidence and spirit.

Nibbler's preparation is elite.

 

That ski goggle look from Nibbler was pure gold on so many levels.

Going hard and early on his part of his mad Monday getup obviously.

I recall the scene that followed this, when Max got up and postured to the players and umpires as if he'd been awarded a free kick for rough play, which never came.  I actually thought it was a powerful statement of how the MFC is always made the scape goat whenever the league wants to set the tone of acceptable physically and protecting the head etc, but rarely gets the same protection in return and how Max is perpetually alowed to be a punching bag for our opponents.

Interested to know what result did Daniels get from the MRO on this one and weather that graze to the forehead that Max had after this incident was there before it or as a result of the that incident.

Must’ve been Take Your Kid to Work Day last Saturday. 
I mean, I know as you get older footballers look younger and younger, but come on… he looks like he’s 10 years old. 

Yeah, who's kid is that Jake Bowey too?

Might have premiership potential one day those kids.

...or Jack Viney as the literal take your kid to work on GF day!!!

 

P.S. as a related asides, I loved that video of Jack Viney doing star fishes in the confetti.  Great imagery of a bloke in a totally blissful moment, living out a life long dream.

"So ... do you have any dreams, Jack? Life goals?"

"Yeah ... I wanna make snow angels in confetti on Optus Oval."

"You mean like after a grand final?"

"Doesn't have to be a grand final, but if that's what it takes, I'm prepared to win one."

"You know they don't play grand finals at Optus?"

"Damn, you're right ........... unless there was a global pandemic! Do you know how to book plane tickets to China?"

Same! He was totally lost in the moment. The little kid in him came to the fore. It warmed my heart no end to see him so happy.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
