    No wonder the Doggies didn't want to go near him.

    Missed this one, saw it on the Channel 7 in the Melbourne rooms video the club released this morning.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
