Maybe.  But we know Fritsch holds the record set this year for the fastest 3 goals by an individual player - approx 95 seconds against the Crows.

Fritsch kicked 3 goals against Adelaide in 90 seconds...

Those were the last 3 of his brilliant 7 goals that day! They were in the 4th quarter Dees v Crows at an empty MCG:

01:27 Fritsch

00:46 Fritsch

00:00 Fritsch

That's 3 goals in 87 seconds. Amazing! The last two were set shots which ate up the clock.

The 3 goals in 32 seconds in the GF remains the fastest ever, so far...

With another odd goalkicking record in mind now - Tom McDonald must be the first person ever to kick a goal after the siren in a grand final from 45 meters out while 15 other guys were in a dry-humping pile about 5 meters to his left! :laugh:

 

 

I’m surprised the umpire didn’t hold up play and ask them to leave the protected area… Razor would have 😂

Shouldn’t walk on their grave - we, more than anyone, know the feeling

There was a game at the G in the 80s or early 90s when Richmond conceded a fifty metre penalty before the bounce and we goaled from the free.

Then they did it again as soon as the ball got back to the centre and we scored another goal from the subsequent free..

They were 2 goals down and the ball hadn't been bounced yet! Steve O'Dwyer was in the ruck that day.

I think that was Bartlett’s first game as coach

I doubt we will ever watch 4 more pivotal games to turn the fortunes of a club in our lifetime.

Those were 4 performances of a club destined to achieve greatness. 

I doubted it, but looking back, it was always meant to be ours! 

Burgo got us primed to be at the peak of our game at the perfect time.

yep.. me too. It didn’t and doesn’t stop the joy of winning but i felt fr them. The doggies in the last 50 years or so have a history v similar to ours. Poor club, threats of extinction, regularly [censored]. I can’t hate them. 

It occurred to me last night how little real pain this season has had . The least in living memory. yes there was 4 losses but none that hurt thaaat much. The loss to the doggies was the only one I can think of that stung me fr days and made me doubt.  Adelaide by a point (with [censored] umpiring) was another one,  but it was our first loss and we were still top of the ladder so it was easy to move on from. 

We’ve all had to eat so much [censored] over so many years it’s totally joyous to have not had to do so much this year,. But,  I am sparing a thought fr them also. 

 

The only one we got towelled up was Collingwood in Sydney

Could have been a 4th. Petracca was out the front of the restart/ball up. Bontempelli "just" made the tackle.

And again Jacksons work outta the ruck on that bounce.
In a year or 2 he's gonna be incredible.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
