The regular season has come and gone rather quickly. With the game over a week away, maybe it’s time to remember some of the moments that made you go bananas during a match this season.

 

 

Beating Collingwood and Melky sinking Brisbane.

Generally seeing the development of McVee, JVR, Woewodin and last two weeks Laurie and Turner.

No stubborn Goody at team selections. Clearly he identified this in the off season from last year because it's evident this year that he isn't afraid to make tough decisions and move players around.

The torpedo bump. To his credit, Smith shrugged it off

JVR quick fire 3 goals v Richmond to seal the deal. And that mark

 


and this one. best finish i've ever witnessed at the G

 

Melksham's goal was right up there but seeing this kid run out of the G and receiving his last wish was special:

Great thread, DZ!

Mine is an off-field moment…. that Thursday night when we learned that the two-match suspension given to JvR had been successfully overturned. πŸ₯³

 

5. The train ride home after the Brisbane win. 

4. The last half of the Brisbane game…you could feel us coming 

3. Fritsch’s return against the Swans

2. Melksham’s block of games….tragedy for him doing his ACL. He’ll be in rehab when we’re playing finals….simply unfair.

1. Beating Collingwood when apparently it couldn’t be done

eq. 1. Viney’s goal against Brisbane, GOTY for mine.
 

Edited by Roost it far


The Petty/JVR/Melk combination netting 14 goals against the Tigers was top shelf.

BEST H&A MOMENT OF THE AFL…

Oh, wait, I thought you meant BT’s best H&A moment… EVER. 

Only got to two games this year - beating Sydney at the SCG - and seeing Jack Viney nail swans players in the last quarter


Seeing the demons fans respond to the the Brisbane win was something special.

I reckon that was the best non finals moment I’ve had at the G.

In order:

1) the Brisbane miracle thanks mostly to Melksham. You can’t describe that feeling when you’ve resigned yourself to a certain loss, only to be singing the song 15 minutes later.

2) beating the Pies on Kings Birthday. The atmosphere was phenomenal and we needed to exact revenge after numerous kings/queens birthday losses.

3) the comprehensive master class we put on Sydney in round 3 in a statement win against a bogey side.

4) The Sydney win at the SCG. Very enjoyable last quarter to attend live after it looked like we’d packed up for the home and away season. Only reaffirmed our belief that the club means business.

5) The Dogs win in round 1. After the 2022 finals collapse, it was extremely pleasing to start 2023 with a bang and prove to the league that we were going go be a serious player again.

Hopefully there will be many more special moments to come next month across three MCG finals.

FU, am trying to work here, not over this at all.

I have no idea. But many of them look about 12yo so maybe that’s why.

Massive kudos to Smith for how he took that.  He went right up in my estimation after that.  He would've fitted in perfectly in the 1980's.  Win 'em and wear 'em.

Err….

Genetics mostly. Or decreased levels of certain hormones. Keep in mind you could have two people in the same family that have differing levels of hair body hair so it is complicated.

That, or they shave.

 

Watching McVee progress.  

Call me crazy, but there is a very good midfielder in that kid. Hope he gets a chance to spend some time in middle in the coming years as his player awareness is Pendlebury like.

Gotta celebrate all Melbourne premierships. Rd 1 cheering the girls around the G for their Premiership was indeed a highlight of mine.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
