Love these multi-calls.

I hope watching that over so many times in quick succession helps those moaning about BBB going up with one hand so often understand just how important it is to our team.  He stopped the oppisiiton marking it.  He stopped the oppisiiton punching it away to the pockets.  He brings it down to the place that the smalls are and the goal results.  It may not be pretty or classical but it is what needed.  If he is not in the position to mark it cleanly, his job is to stop the oppitision mark and keep the ball in the area.  Going up with one hand acheives that.

Would we like a few more marks and goals, sure but when he can't mark it's obvious he concentrates on bringing it to ground.

Isn't it nice to have a call where the commentary team aren't openly barracking against us?

Commentary nearly always leans towards the underdogs and teams on the rise.  We had our turn last year.  I'm hoping to not hear a another pro-Nelbourne call for many, many years.

 

…and did I see a Fritsch handpass out to Kossie

I think the ABC version is my favourite.

Cheers to @The Mighty Demons for the edit!

How does this bloke find the room for these kicks?

This is from TikTok so I hope it doesn't break some of you boomers but the content should make you happy.

Those blokes seemed remarkably relaxed compared to me at the time.

I was hiding under the doona.

I loved the footage on AFL360 last night showing Goody pumping up the guys in the briefing room after the game

How shattered are these sad sacks that the Dees won?

 

Indiscriminate kick by Lever Daisy Thomas reckons.

Yeah, nah.

It was Melksham who got the ball out to Kossie. I thought that was possibly the key part of the play, as he could easily have tried to keep possession to ensure a ball up, but he kept his head and made a conscious effort to get the ball to Pickett instead.

Having reviewed the footage several times, I now believe she was beseeching the Carlton recruiters to "Get Fritsch!"

I thought she was suggesting the blues replace Voss as coach with Rutten.

Good call.

The other key was BB not allowing an intercept mark or clearing punch.

He worked so hard all match.

And took a clutch mark and kicked a clutch goals in the third

Fans can be hard markers.

a question:

the goal that was disallowed and ball returned to half fwd / wing for throw-in

was it because:

1. ben brown marked over the line?

2. ben brown played on from outside the line when he wasn't behind the mark?


That was bloody awesome!

Love how Kozzi gave it to his opponent rather than celebrate. No idea how he kicked straight after being ripped to the ground during the kick

radio calls so much better than tv

I think he marked it outside the line anyway but i think the actual free was because he played on outside the line which players do all the time.

Was that The Ox calling for 3AW?

@The heart beats true, @Demonstone, @Demons11, @Jaded No More, @binman: I'm afraid - and somewhat surprised at the mildness - that Where's Wendy might have been saying, 'That sucks!'

Headed for Memehood, I wouldn't be surprised...

That was right I front of me and it was so confusing. 

Also, Melk kicked a ripping goal as a result that was disallowed. It would have given him another goal, and it was a crying shame because his game was incredible and he deserved 5 goals. I really think he won us that game.

Things that come to mind.

Hunts explosivenesses.

Kosi not flying for the mark and remaking front and centre.

BBB could of marked it.

Presence of mind from Melksham to hold it in until he saw Demon colours.

The one hand pick up from Kosi.

Sorry Mr. Bombay, but it's could HAVE not could OF.

You'll have to forgive me picking you up on this oft-repeated grammatical howler.

I suffer from CDO, you see.  It's like OCD but the letters are in alphabetical order as they should be.  :D

Take notes Dees small forwards.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
