Best 32 seconds of my life and I've had a few 32 second moments too.

I noticed Bontempelli's look of despair then too. A stark contrast to the look in Petracca's eye after he dobbed that classic banana dribbler!

Yeah well, the look on Bonempellis face when he put them 19pts up would have been different again.

I thought I was pumped up when Sparrow slammed his bomb.
Then lost my mind when Clarry kicked his.

Sparrow’s goal very underrated. Kicks it from 52m off one step. Elite!

if you watch Sparrow, he doesn't over extend himself. He just looks to time it, and hit it sweetly with no running momentum. Was very cool under pressure.

Elite - yes, but underrated - not IMO! That was a massive highlight of the game for me!

We’ve rewritten the Leigh Matthews rule. 
Now if you’re down by 10 goals with 2 minutes left commentators can say if they use the Melbourne rule they could get up by a couple of goals here.

I think we've all watched it enough to know Sparrows goal was awesome and Dogga was brilliant in the ruck. But this was an Oliver and Petracca blitz. Not just their goals but they setup Sparrows.

Huge moment too - he misses that and we go in 13 points up, very gettable. I think it was such a big hit that it kind of made the Dogs collapse and give us the next one.

Sparrow is a ripper

I watched the 3 quarter many times and most have forgoten the previous burst of 3 goals in less than a minute from the time Fritsch kicks his 3rd goal to Brown kicking his second.

So infact there was not 1 burst but 2 which put the game on the balance to winners, the look on the Bulldog players and suporter after Clayton's Goal is priceless they knew the game was done and dusted.

The last quater was icing on the premiership cake.

What about the bust at the start of the 4th. We had 2 goals by 1 min 53sec due to Brown and Fritz set shots and then Tracc burst out of the centre again and kicked a point.  If you add that to then end of the 3rd we had 5.1 in 2 mins 50s.  Surely that’s a record.

this may have been mentioned previously on Demonland however this team has had the tendency to kick goals in quick succession across the year.  Quite common to kick 4 goals in 10 mins, 6 in 15 mins and tear games open.  Thankfully they saved the best till last

His celebration was hilarious/intense too! I think a couple of devil horns with both hands to form a "W" in the middle? And then he quickly flashes the same symbol to Ben Brown as he walks back to position.

Yes, we're down to the hand gestures level of analysis of these three minutes!

It was actually Viney who won both clearances - first with a handball to trac, and then a toe poke into the Path of Jackson (good thing he did this too as both Jackson and Oliver had run ahead of the stoppage!)

I will remember it for Petracca and Oliver but let's not forget who got the hard ball

If you were a dogs supporter with the ball in our fwd line with a minute to go you would be thinking  dont let them get a goal.

But three. 😁

Not for the first time either. Which is why I preferred him selected over JJ.

Our first goal...Tracs was similiar but perhaps Trac wasnt as far out. Its not all timing...it shows a lot of strength in the legs. Sparrow is a strong player. Had a great second half.

He may be a future Trac.

Has been mentioned in a previous thread but are the three successive Demon goals kicked in the last minute of the 3rd quarter:

00:51 Petracca

00:34 Sparrow

00:19 Oliver

Are these the quickest 3 goals in succession ever?

 

Must be close if not. I'm no stats man but I'd be happy to wager a lot that its certainly the case in a GF.

It was an incredible quarter .

When dogs kicked onto a nineteen point lead with Bont having a good day  I really thought we would lose.

True 19 points isn't huge but given we smashed the first quarter we seemed to have totally slowed down.

The one thing that has been different about this club is how many times we have come back from being down. Not just scorewise but also our momentum.

So many games this year Mfc of old would have rolled over.

But to comeback like that and add those three junktime goals I knew we had won.

It was a thing of beauty.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
