Drowning out the Collingwood boos of Grundy was one of my more prouder moments of being a Dees fan.

    Loved them all but left out Hibbo's 1 v 1 win vs Lipinski (?) out of the pocket.

    Think that's the quickest ive seen Hibbo run since ...

    The crowd went nutz. 

    My other fav was Smithy's run down tackle of Maynard.  Could've easily tackled from behind and probs ITB but went alongside instead to make sure there was only one outcome.  Clever boy.

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

    In the lead-up to Fritta's goal in the third he also bullied Adams out of the way like he wasn't even there. He had so many Jack Viney moments.

    What this one.

     

     

    Had Grundy kicked the goal after that it would have been the biggest lift ever. Gave me goosebumps similar to Neitz on McCabe or Whelan on Hird.

    There's nothing in my view that fires you up as a fan more than when you goal straight after these moments.

    We had a few like that. Thats why the Roo one was so good, young player finished off the good work.

    The pies might have been due for a loss and even the West coast factor might have played a part but a lot of teams would have notice what we did and how often the Magpie players stayed on the ground after the hit.

    Their game is heavily focused on post-contest / outside. Without De Goey, they really have no-one that can dominte on the inside. As a result i think they give up a level of physicality.

    For me it was watching that little receiver Daicos grub his kick in/receive and then for Fristch to hit the post. Had that gone in it would have been a back breaker!

    Loved everything about the day (except for our kicking for goal) but my favourite was Neale's guard of honour and Goody hugging him.

    This’d be mine! Catches the ball, two or three steps and bang straight through him…..

    Hunter running through WHE really did have me out of my seat. It was the moment I realised we were starting to put our game together.

    Having said that, my favourite moment from the KB game did not come until earlier this week when it dawned on me that in consecutive weeks we had knocked off Carlton and Collingwood. For decades post our flag in 1964 these two lorded it over us and the competition. To send the Blues into an even bigger tailspin and to nail the Pies both within 10 days was sensational.

    Now for the trifecta.

    WH-E might think twice about laying another tackle, anywhere ever again after that hit! 

    This is the issue with the new dangerous tackle rule they're ramming through.
    If you are the tackling player you cannot go in for a tackle being half hearted and gentle because the finely tuned athlete in peak physical condition with the ball is going to blast straight through you.
    Luke Hodge was on SEN this morning talking about the perspective of players.
    In every game there are blokes playing to stay in the team, playing for contracts, their teammates confidence etc.
    Coaches place a very high priority on tackles to pressure the ball carriers into mistakes.
    They are also coached to drag the players to the ground as handballs while being thrown to the ground are far harder to hit than when standing up in a tackle.

    Someone asked he other day what happens in a Prelim, when they're playing for all the marbles and we find half a dozen players getting rubbed out for the GF cause they were a little bit rough.

    My view is if your going to play the game gently.
    You're gonna get hurt.

    JVR's sealer, with the knowledge that (1) we were finally going to beat Collingwood at the G since 2017 and (2) that this kid loves the big moment on the big stage.

    While I voted for Jack's dance, it was a close call, knowing that Hunter's bulldozing of WH-E would have equally stunned 'dogs fans. Am I a bad person to gloat about it?!!

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
