Love it. Did anyone else notice Oliver’s terrible ball drop on that last goal? Sometimes everything goes right. 😀

Wearing two pairs of quality kmart jocks would solve that problem.

    A fascinating thing for me with those comments is how quickly their supporters seemed to concede that they were done. As early as after Trac's goal at which point we were only a couple of goals up.  I only started to relax about 4 goals into the last quarter!

    Those of us who were there on ANZAC Day 1992 know that the Chris Sullivan Line is real; only at 8 goals up can one start to breathe easy...

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

    Tim Lane for me, with assistance from Drew Morphett.

    That is confirmed; a sure way to prevent nasty ball drops.

    Martin Tyler would’ve been good to listen to. Special voice.

    Richie Benno. "Marvellous effort that by young Oliver. I've never seen anything like this on any ground anywhere in the world. They're a very good team this Melbourne outfit, quite brilliant today. 22 very, very good players."

    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.

    It was exactly how I felt at the time - firstly disbelief, then overwhelming joy, anticipation and expectation. "Can it really be true, can this really be happening to us?"

    I still tear up with pride and happiness when I watch the onslaught. I must say even tinged, ever so slightly, with a minuscule touch of commiseration for the Dog fans, as these sorts of events (though never ever nearly so totally devastatingly overwhelming)  have been happening to us for decades.

    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

    Sounds like being there  ...... 2022 GF PLEASE!!

    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!

    They werent just done, they were totally OBLITERATED! May the mental scars come back to haunt them year after year decade after decade for eternity!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
