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 😂

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.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
