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! 🤣

Right up there with Chris from Camberwell 

Where is the good doctor? Has he been sighted?

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...)

Bang - bang, bang bang

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
