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? 

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!

    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.

     

    Not junktime, Red & Blue time...from the Doggies perspective - Black & Blue time. And I don't mean that to gloat; it seriously must have hurt.

    So many games ive watched where we have conceded a goal in the dying stages or minute of a quarter. It would have been bad enough to dogs fans to lose their three goal lead. It must have hurt the dogs when Trac kicked that freakish goal. But the two after that would have killed.

    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 

    Loved the way TMac monstered the Dogs player on the goal line

    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.

    Actually it was 8 goal 1 point.

    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.

    ...solo, surrounded at close range by 4 Dogs at the 4 points of the compass. A beautiful tableaux.

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

    He’s got such a powerful kick on him.

    Some [censored] here (me) said he shouldn’t be in the team for finals.

    It would have to be the eminent example of why the third quarter is referred to as the premiership quarter.

    I believe the only ones to have gone close was us against the cats in the PF. We kicked 3 in quick succession during the third of that game as well.

    Nice one DD. Those 3 goals in the 3rd quarter against the Cats in the PF were devastatingly quick too. I went back and checked the timing:

    17:04 Fritsch

    16:47 Gawn

    16:30 McDonald

    That's 3 goals in 34 seconds. Amazing! (But still 2 seconds slower than the Dees 3 goals in 32 seconds in the GF).

    Incredible. Could be the quickest and the 2nd quickest 3 goals ever respectively!

    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.

    Not even sure Dogga got a single hitout in the second half of Q3, but his presence - shepherding, run-with and handballing was all excellent.

    Agree. But they were expecting Gawn who they can predict. Jackson competed really well and hunted the ball, like Patracca, Oliver and Viney.

    Doggies were criticised for not positioning defensively at the bounce (they were, Libba and Bontempeli for the last 2; both sucked into the contest). Interestingly, Treloar was at all the bounces. Would've tried Dunkley. I reckon the arrival of Treloar messed with their midfield.

    I've watched that set of goals so many times now I think I've started to develop a crush on the girl on the left. Every time I see her I feel great.

    AFL Tables shows goal progression without time for stoppages - this has Petracca-Sparrow-Oliver as 2.29 apart. Even when Essendon kicked 15 in the first quarter against Gold Coast in 2011 (Steven May's debut), they didn't do it that quickly. Same when Hawthorn beat GWS by 162. Nothing quicker in 186 either.

    Doesn't mean it hasn't happened at some point, but they're two of the biggest landslides in the last 10 years.

    The Fritsch-Fritsch-Brown goals were just as quick in actual ball movement play if we discount the goal lining up time.

    I feel for them, we know what they are going through and I’m sure we will go through it again.

    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.

    Talk about an optical illusion! On my phone anyways. It looks as though the guy in the centre has an unusually round and disproportionately large upper arm. With a pretty ugly tattoo. 😀

    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?

     

    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.

    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.

    Treloar was put in the middle in the second and that was the spark for them. It was interesting that he got to the fall of the ball in the forward line after he was put in the midfield and kicked goals, but couldn't kick them or touch the ball when playing mid-forward.

    They got most of their goals from mids....

    • 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.
