1. BT just after Daniel dumped Gawn over the boundary line with "Daniel and Goliath"

2. I don't know his name, but on the Indigenous radio call of Petracca's second goal which he described as "Daicossian"

But my favourite of the lot on the Seven coverage, and I can't remember who said it, or exactly when in the last quarter (probably around the time of ANB's goal), or even the exact words, but to the effect that the players can enjoy the rest of the game because they know they've got it won. Those words gave me permission to stop worrying, too.

    I liked Gerard Whateley’s description of Sparrow’s long goal.

    ” It was up at Sparrows and just kept going “

    Probably the wrong quote to use to continue  that conversation.

    I was referring to Dr. D.

    Uplifting references to Neale Daniher's saying, "When it's all said and done,  more is said than done!"

    I don't get this quote.  'more is said than done'?  Doesn't that mean there has been more talk (said) than walk (done).  So we've talked the talk, more than walked the walk?  Which is not what you want to do.

    Don't get it.  Can someone enlighten me on this?  What penny is not dropping for me?

    I think you'll find that what he means is that people are prepared to talk about a hard challenge but aren't always prepared to do what is necessary to achieve a successful outcome when hard work is required.

    Thanks LDVC.  But I still don't get it.  🤔

    Surely it is meant to be, 'when all is said and done, more is done than said.'  See, this is not confusing.  Makes sense.

    Anyway not important.

    If more were done than said, the people who get things done wouldn't be so valuable.

    The MFC got stuff done this year - on that we can all agree.

    Petracca ... PETRACCA! ..... Christian Petracca no way.

  • Quote

    I must be the only one who thought the call of "bang, bang, bang" was garbage. The entire broadcast failed to match the excitement of the game itself. 

    I thought they were a terrible combination.  BT is horrific.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
