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.

Right up there with Chris from Camberwell 

I remember he tried to gatecrash joeboy’s three word analysis with a three minutes hate version.

He will not be missed.

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.

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: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
