I am close to reaching saturation point from all the replays, commentary, video footage and opinion that I have absorbed over the last 4 days. Loving it! I hope I drown in it. But as I sat back in a moment of glowing self-satisfied we-are-the-Premiers smugness, 2 things stand out for me from all the words and tributes I have heard.

  1. Max - after 57 years of pain, it's coming home. This is the best thing said over the entire weekend. MFC is football, everyone else is an afterthought. The cup will return to the MCG where the Dees fans can revel in the knowledge it is in it right place. At Dees HQ. Home
  2. James Brayshaw's commentary as Clarrie kicked THAT goal late in the third quarter (struggling to believe how well he called that moment but it was epic): Bang.... Bang. Bang. Bang. Gives me chills each time I watch and listen.

What are your favourite words/quotes from across the last 4 days?

 

Huddo screaming Oliveeeeeerrrr and his voice wobbles/breaks part way through it. SEN call team also knew enough to leave a few seconds post goal to listen to the crowd.

My favourite quote goes back to mid season, when we sat 2 games clear on top.

Dr. D - ‘We won’t make top 4 from here’

Nailed it 👍

Didn’t he predict as well that we would be knocked out first week of finals?

He didn’t need to predict it, he’d done the math and knew it! 🤣

DR.D is one of my favorite knuckleheads. I once used the word Knuckf..kle to describe his like. ( Oh, god, I hope Grapeviney isn't listening...)

The Doctor’s ’finest’ work will be ubiquitously included in the ‘Is Goodwin the right guy?’ greatest hits thread for sure.

Yep

The moment I knew we had them covered... (just didn't yet realise by how much) ❤💙🏆

I liked when BT said about Tracc, he kicked a Dusty-like goal earlier, he’s just kicked a Daicos-like goal. When you cross Dusty and Daicos you get Petracca.

And then he went and potted Gus for not looking at the goals as he was walking back for the kick he ….…..PUT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE! Pointless, stupid commentary from a pointless, stupid commentator. (Sorry, not a quote).

I was still so anxious and tense at that stage I yelled at the TV ‘for [censored] sake BT he’s not like anyone else, he’s his own person’.

Yeah. Saturday was a long day here.

Haha, yes, he used his football knowledge, which is far superior to any other person alive, and certainly everyone in DL, along with the ladder predictor to assure us all that we could not make the top 4 despite being on top of the ladder with 5 games to go.

 He has gone conspicuously quite for some reason 🤔

Hell, I never said he was perfect! Sheeesh, you say one nice thing about an imbecile and folks have you madly in love with him. 😁

Yeah, that Gussie goal;  BT bagging him for “wasting his time walking back to kick it” leaving only “five seconds” and he barely finished his sentence before Gussie turns around and… BANG. 😆

My favourite quotes from BT during the game:

“The melbourne fans in that pocket have gone unbelievably”.

“Bailey Fritsch the only player to have kicked 5 in the 2000s”…as the screen displayed 5 other players who have kicked 5 goals in a grand final in the 2000s.

In the last:

Brayshaw “the crowd are calling for max to kick a barrel”

immediately after:

BT “I think the crowd were calling for the barrel”

Excruciating listening. I wish we had the prelim commentary team for the Granny, they were fantastic. 

I shook my head in disbelief on that Fritta comment. BT is as thick as 2 short planks. I honestly think he has something neurological going on, someone needs to take him to the hospital for a brain scan

If this weren't the biggest game of my life and I had not had bigger things to worry about going on at the time, BT's call of "Frothies May" would have sent me into overdrive.

I'd suggest that the hospital would be better served using an echo sounder.

i think our hospitals are having a hard enough time without adding bt into the mix

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
