Sensational is the only word which describes the play, I have watch football since 1952 and this is truly magnificent.

The faces of the Bulldogs said it all, we are done!

 

Will never get old. Gotta love BBs run up. Does the job. Our shooting at goal has been pretty suspect all year but boy oh boy did we fix that in the third. So funny that Bt said ....gotta get the next one or two.....Still on the fence bw Tracs worm goal and Frittas fourth. Before it all arupted, I childishly removed myself from the family viewing and sulked into my bedrooom(after Bonts goal), licking my wounds and feeling a sense of doom. Didn't last long......I was dancing on the coffee table during the break.


Misleading title from the AFL -  I was hoping to see more angles.

As Anthony Hudson said in a PF, with the Swans and Cats I think it was, " I see it but I don't believe it".

It is some of the most powerful, perfect, team football I have ever seen and in a GF to boot.

It just brings tears to the eyes of the long suffering Dees fans, well mine at least.

Imagine Bill Lawry Commentary during the 3rd Quarter 

Or Richie Benaud - there is a seagull standing in the goal square at the city road end.  Marvelous that.

You've got me thinking. Which commentator (of any sport) would I like to have heard commentating on the last half of Q3? Maybe Murray Walker from F1 for excitement? or Phil Ligget for precision?

Darrell Eastlake - à la his exuberant early 1990s commonwealth games weightlifting commentating. Pretty sure he led to noise complaints!


Rex Hunt would have been gold

I love watching these goals over and over, but every time I see the bloke in the crowd tearing up, it gets me every time.

Magnificent 

Spine chilling

Gets me pumped up every time 

very emotional 

when Clarry raises the arm and signals after the goal, that’s when I dared to dream that we’d win 

and we did 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 🏆

ESPN's Mike Breen for the BANG! after every goal. Reminds me of Huddo. 

On the topic of commentary, having Luke Hodge on special comments was fitting. Reminded me how far we've come from watching him dominate at the G in the GF. And how deflating it was knowing how far Hawthorn were not only ahead of us, but ahead of the nearest competitor.

Me too. Look of hope eternal on guy's face. Moving.

Raw emotion that all of us could relate to. Hard not to tear up

Best footy Dees have played in the Granny ( and the Geelong last half and Qual and Prelim Finals really) in the 62 years I have been supporting them.   Was lucky enough to see live at Optus in surely a Once in a Lifetime experience!

Just have a funny feeling there are a few more top shelf performances like this from this group in the next 4-5 years.

The standard game highlights with commentary is nice, but a skillfully edited slow motion piece with more close up ground level footage mixed in, limited commentary and decent crowd noise is what I'm after

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
