Although they didn’t stand out in the GF Kosi starred throughout the season and TMac was important for us early on. 
 

I enjoyed watching that.

    That 8 hours or more stuck on the airport tarmac in Queensland and a flight each way certainly go the players offensive juices flowing. Since then we seem to have developed a killer instinct and big scores.

    I was about the post similar and posted in the  after the game thread  something similar . Tmac forced the opposition putting a tall defender on him . When max or Dogga went forward too most oppositions were stretched  , Then Fritsch got a 4 defender  and  he bobbed up  with a few goals Kossie Spargo  played the perfect spill game . Then Trac was the icing on cake often kicking the game breaker.

    Kozzie's goals were brilliant but the sheppard for Petracca on Dunkley in the GF personifies us.  Better than any goal he kicked for us all year. Uncle Byron would be proud.

    Only 57?

    'Snap', adonski, as I was watching. To which I was going to add, 'Now I wish it was a 157-year drought!'

    p.s. Thanks, yet again, @Demonland

    What a brilliant package that is, made even better by the lack of the annoying crappy music that always seems to accompany such highlight reels.  Think this might just get watched more than once!

    Oh man, so proud of these guys. Insanely proud. (Yep, crying again. Happy tears, happy tears.)

    That was epic. What a season.

    Now would not be a good time for me to wander on over to the ‘Arrogant fan’ thread.

    Bloody brilliant. Unless I missed it though, Petracca's spinning clearance away from Libba to Brown for a goal in GF had to be a top 10 moment.

    Also, that reel really proves that we have been the best side all year. The scores are always close, or in our favour.

    Our biggest deficit in a game came in a game we won (44 points Geelong Rnd 23). I also think our second biggest deficit for the year was against Brisbane (24 points), which we also won. Anyone know if that’s correct? The losses were tighter and sealed at the end against Collingwood, Bulldogs and GWS.

    That is an insanely good season of football. I don’t think we knew it while it was happening, because we couldn’t believe it yet.

    Loved all 57.
    Like another 57 of Lever intercepting, a raking May kick, Petty and Tomlinson marking, the routine sideway pass to Salem. 
    Hibbos job on Dusty with Hunt and Langdon tandem sprinting downfield.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
