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. 🥳

 

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.

Why don’t these young fellas have hairy chests?

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….

Out

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
