After watching the replay and mini match a couple of times since Monday it made me appreciate what a truly wonderful contest the game was on Monday. Keen to hear everyone’s fav moment.

    I chose Fritta’s goal that put us in the lead, because if I didn’t and Pauline found out, I’d be in trouble. 🤣

    I did love the Hunter slamming into WH-E moment, mainly because Lachie stayed on his feet, barely affected and carried on running. Meanwhile, WH-E looked as though he’d been hit by a truck, which he kinda had. 😁

    Hunter has literally gone from one of my most hated players to one of my most loved. He is everything I hated him at the Dogs for and more.

    Toss up between Hunters crushing mark and Vineys spin and pass to Roo

    I picked Hunter. It has been hinted by outsiders that we are a tad soft eg lack of support to team-mates when bullied. This showed we are hard and generally fair.  I also picked it because it is the only one I could emulate when I played 🤣

    If Grundy kicked the goal after the Hunter run through, it might have won moment of the season for me.

    Viney coming off with a bung shoulder and 2 minutes later saying 'Ready to go coach'

    I pick the Hibberd 1-on-1 win, break away pace (at 31 or whatever he is, thank you very much), kick to Smith, kick to a contest (Roo holding free kick), wheel and Grundy mark + goal.

    2nd is any of the numerous Jack Viney clearances.

    I was gob smacked at the time because it's usually not the player with the ball that's handing out the bump. Collingwood player looked like he'd been shot

    Has to be Jack Viney and his pass to JvR. Vines was amazing all day. I’d give him 6 Brownlow votes. 

    That's my pick as well

    Pure artistry at work (poetry in motion)

    If that doesn't get you off your feet nothing will!

    Mouth agape stuff!

    This thread made me go back and watch a highlights video, and I'm having thoughts -

    When May got turned around in that early goal, McVee could have been getting back to support and cover the break a bit better, but only really put the sprint on once the Collingwood player was already breaking away from May. Easy oversight to make, also easy to correct by habit over time.

    May had a number of flawed moments but didn't give away anything easy. He and Lever were also pressed waaaay up the ground from defence on many occassions, and coped well in the chaos. A remarkable effort to keep Collingwood to such a low score, using such an aggressive tactic. Exemplified by May managing to break even in a three-on-one in defence.

    Maynard should send a thank you note to Van Rooyen and the Melbourne legal team, because without them that late whack to Brayshaw's head in a marking contest would have been three weeks.

    Smith's tackle on Maynard to earn his goal was textbook perfection.

    Jack Viney is A-Grade.

    Apart from his first few kicks on Monday I thought that was one of his best games for us. I will be honest though still can’t say I like him yet though.

    The highlight for me, or should I say highlights, was seeing so many pies players on the ground in pain as we relentlessly hunted and hurt them.  We got tougher as the game went on.

    Underrated part of that play was Viney smashing Noble just after his hand off to Judd.

    Two weeks in a row he's put his body on the line for the cause.
    Relentlessly ran his wing last week and maybe half way through the game had run the most kms on the ground.
    Plays like a man with his eyes on the prize.
    I'm sold.

    I liked how we kept kicking points so that the TV audience got the perception of a close game, when in reality we controlled 85% of the contest.

    For context - we doubled their scoring shots from 15 minutes in the 1st to 3 minutes left in the last.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
