Your Best 2023 H & A Moments

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

    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. 🥳

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
