Yeah, this guy. His face tells you everything you need to know. Screams at a teenager and gets offended when he gives it back to him.

We had a 20 page thread on this incident in 2017. The last couple of pages of that particular thread have some really funny images.

So that's where that picture comes from. Seen it reused many times on here without Clayton in it.

 

The Carlton v Saints game could be a key game to shaping the 8.

If the Blues win and teams presently outside the 8 (Sydney, Geelong) lose the Blues will be 6 points clear with only 4 games left to catch up. Mathematically possible and of course the Blues play us next week

There are a large number of us Demonlanders who watch multiple games across the weekend, and most of us are probably on the mature end of the age scale. So over the years we get to see some great footballers who stand out.

I was a huge fan of Paul Kelly from the Swans and would watch Sydney games just to see him.

It's the same with Bontempelli. Watching him makes me love the game. Fair, strong, ridiculously skilful, natural leader, match winner. I put him up near Robbie Flower for the graceful way he plays the game. Last night he was at his best.

Adam Goodes was always a favorite of mine . Except when he beat us almost all by himself in one particular game

Can someone email the MFC this blueprint or even a copy of the video tape from Round 23 2021

 

 maybe we might go a season without needing to work out how to play Geelong at Geelong 😅

Takes a lot out of teams trying to go with the dees.

And in the tigers case tonight, a five day break compounds that (short breaks really do have a massive impact - which makes our early season form even more impressive given how many we had of them)

If Dusty, Cotchin & possibly Grimes were all out purely because they couldn't get up after a 5-day break I'm thinking it would have made much more sense to rest them against Melbourne, rather than against the Western Bulldogs. It probably wouldn't have made any difference given last night's winning margin but surely Richmond should have prioritised an 8-point game against a more beatable opponent? Or did they think naively they could beat Melbourne with their best team and also beat the Bulldogs with significant outs. Delusional!

Angus Brayshaw huge goal to take the lead 2021 GF - wasn't that from another "super boot Daniels"' clanger?

I put Adam Saad in the same category. A severely over-rated player that I'm always happy to see attempting to distribute the ball. Compare them with Christian Salem who is an elite ball-user.

If I could really reach out to the footy gods today can you make west coast beat Essendon.

I know it won't happen but I can dream 

 

I was disappointed with last night's result basically because I see Richmond as less of a threat than Western Bulldogs but essentially if didn't matter who won in terms of Melbourne finishing Top 4.

Actually on reflection maybe it was better for WB to win as Richmond would need to have a clear game's break to finish ahead of Geelong whereas WB have the 2-point gap.   

As far as other non-mfc games go am hoping for a Geelong win tonight and Freo tomorrow to help our Top 2 chances.

You're right it won't happen, but actually I want Essendon to win as it reduces Fremantle's chances of finishing further up the ladder and if Essendon can make the 8 it means there's one less dangerous team in the Finals.


Bombers will smash WC by 100+
Wright will kick 8+
 

For some reason i think the Suns will give the crows a shake today

Hope Port beat the Cats

dont want the Cats sneaking into finals, getting Hawkins and Cameron right and becoming a threat

not sure why i decided to watch this game. my eyes are starting to bleed.

I absolutely adore the Bont. He is not just an amazing footballer but a nice humble guy. Met him a few times and he just oozes warmth. 
Hope he wins the Brownlow this year. An absolute star!

I hope the Suns win as it reduces chances of Freo moving up the ladder. Actually I don't think it matters as Freo won't overcome the percentage differential to either side. A draw would be a good result.

I'm hoping for a Cats win. Still hoping Top 2 for Melbourne. Actually I don't mind either way as I reckon Geelong will miss Top 8 if they lose.

Surely you're hoping for Christian Petracca above the Bont!

The melts on Bomberblitz are hilarious at the moment. They won’t be happy even if they win 😂

I mean of course, but I don’t think he will. 
I sure as hell rather the Bont over Daicos or Butters.

It looks like the Suns are about to fall out of contention. So far, the round hasn’t been kind to the replacement coaches. Ratten out altogether, McQualter almost out after last night and Steven King looking like one of the sad and tired victims in one of his namesake’s novels.

Or off to the glue factory like one of his other namesake’s Melbourne Cup rides. 

 

Touk Miller needs to understand that Tackle doesn't mean " tackle."

Ouch.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
