We can agree to disagree.  An interesting stat is in the 3rd qtr we kicked 0.1 from 3 inside 50s up to that stoppage, and 7.1 from 9 inside 50s after it.  I don’t think there will ever be a performance like that in a GF again.

Watson, I think we can definitely both agree that the scoring after that stoppage was bloody amazing.

    Caleb Daniel will still cop it on Wednesday night from Dees fans, as he should.

    The wannabe standover pose he did deserves a Boo, and was the only dark side of a game played in great spirit by both sides.

    Reckon he just gave him a spray for taking the dive myself but hey .... Boo away.

    Like an addict, I’ll just watch it again on my phone

    More tears.

    Dog wakes up and looks up from the end of the bed, with a look of “seriously?”

    only a Demon tragic can understand 

    Yep, I'm tragic

    If Max tossed Daniels there would have been an outcry! Students of Mad Monday may recall the ignominy of a Tigers end of season event that created a media storm in the HUN teacup. The PC takeout?  Vertically challenged tossing ist verboten.Giant tossing? New season starts Wednesday 16th March. Gussies’ twin is salivating…looney tunes revenge GIF

    I reckon Jason Taylor would have been remembering the similar highlight he showed the coaches when talking about him pre-draft that Goody and Richo both loved.

     

    Looking at the above vision again, I think Kossie was just 'a little' more subtle in the Trac GF goal play, although the intent and effectiveness were just as good.

    That was more like the NFL Films version and had Goodwin mic’d up like in the NFL. That was great.

    And not that I read too much into Roffey and Goodwin exchanging congratulations but she referred to the start of the year and where ‘we could have been’ and I, again, thanks god that we have a strong board and specifically this strong woman to get rid of the cancer before it destroyed this man and this team and pushed this club off course.

    Agree .... Would love to see our version of "Americas Game" for 2021.
    My favourite is 1981 San Francisco 49ers.

    I do agree that Max's momentum was a key factor rather than Daniel slinging him. I don't Boo but do love the theatre of it. On Wednesday night it will be as predictable as the sun coming up on Thursday morning.

    Its been a thing since they invented Punch and Judy in the 1600's.

    Make no mistake.
    I boo my heart out.
    Goodwin wants our home ground to be a hostile environment.
    I try to help him out.

    Sorry, you can't bounce your head like that deliberately.   So I assume you are saying because he overplayed the preceding actions he lost control and it was entirely his fault his head bounced?   I find that hard ot believe,

    Have you never watched professional wrestling before? That bounce your own head on the canvas move is their stock in trade.

    I haven't watched the replay in a while, so when I caught this yesterday I definitely cried a bit. Very emotional still. It actually gets sweeter and sweeter the more time passes. 

    Let's hope we can make some similar memories this year.

    Conversely Kossie's magic body use to clear a path for Trac that starts up the BANG BANG BANG isn't spoken of enough.  It's almost as impressive as the Trac goal in my view.  A masterful football moment from Kossie.

     

    Glad you noted that as I thought that bump was massive at the time. I've watched that vision numerous times and it could have been possible that Trac could have been nudged slightly and not made that crazy goal 

    Pickett just hits so damn hard with the way he uses his shoulders.  Different to his uncle from memory but no less brutal in the way he goes about it. 

    I would have been terrified of playing against his uncle though, Byron was like a block of granite

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
