WCW can you tell me being at the other end of the ground when the winning goal was kicked, how hard was it to see what was happening?

I was in the Ponsford, below the big screen.

As soon as Kossie kicked it it looked like a floater, even thought it wouldn't make the distance, then was hoping for the point.

All was in slow-mo, it just kept going and it was straight, a thing of beauty. 

Kossie new exactly what he was doing. A big game player, all the intention in the world when I saw the replay. 

We were in raptures, the kids around me will be demons for life.

The Carlton cheer squad after the initial shock were silenced, and then hoping for their miracle from the bounce.

They remained silent, and we take the emotional lollies well into the week and our team set up to do Brissy.

Go Dees.

The round 22 Coaches votes weren't published at the time, to ensure the subsequent winner wasn't apparent.

They were released last night and feel it is important to acknowledge Jake Melksham's game vs Carlton where he scored 10 votes. 

Round 22 Votes:

10 Jake Melksham (MELB)
7 Sam Docherty (CARL)
5 Angus Brayshaw (MELB)
3 Max Gawn (MELB)
2 Clayton Oliver (MELB)
2 Lewis Young (CARL)
1 Patrick Cripps (CARL)
 
The Split:
5/5 Melksham
4/3 Docherty
4/1 Brayshaw
3/0 Gawn
2/0 Oliver and Young
1/0 Cripps
 
It is also worth noting that Gus has polled votes in 3 of the 4 games (rnds 20, 22, and 23) since returning to the middle for a total of 11 votes.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
