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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    It was not just an amazing sequence of goals, but an amazing seqence of games. Has Melbourne ever played four more enjoyable games to watch than from Round 23 to the Grand Final?

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
