I need a titanic version. Also the Gawn goal. 

Also a Spanish version with GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

I reacted the same as the commentators.
"ah, he's overkicked it ... out of bounds {relax} ... what? OMG that's crazy"

I feel with the crowd building to a crescendo and some of the commentary peppered in its much better that titanic meme.

Maybe it's just me.  Is this a female thing?   🤮

Watching the replay repeatedly you also grasp what a great moment Petty had there. Read it and reacted instantly then absolutely pounded the grass flat to make the distance to spoil that pass.

A little cherry on top of a great (touch-wood) return to form.

 

I have a feeling this won't win goal of the year due to the perception of it being a bit arsey (see Clarry at Adelaide Oval). 

Yet, I attended a high school next to Footy Park in the (ahem) mid-90s.

Remember riding home from school one day and stopping to watch the Crows forwards practicing the dribble-turn kick from the pocket for at least half an hour.

A genuine AFL skill. 

 

Fritta’s goal was number 2 in the Top 10 plays of the round. 
The Daicos goal of course was number 1.
Great goal also in a pressure cooker situation. Degree of difficulty puts Fritta number 1 for me. 


I like Clazza’s reaction at the end.

I would love to know how long it took for Fritta to gather and lay the ball across his boot. Very slick work.

Watching it live I knew the significance immediately. I let out a wordless yelp of joy when he got his fingertips to that ball. I think it was a game-winning moment. Who knows what happens if Geelong get clear. Instead it's a turnover and leads to a brilliant goal from Fritsch, but none of that would have happened without the fingernail from Petty.

I love how the goal umpire watches the ball as if it is contagious

Reactions, people hugging, as two field umpires were just standing still, not believing what they saw, and the last was the Goal umpire looking intently at the distance between the post and the ball saying to himself that was clearly a goal but should i call as touching the post and then the replay shows there was at a foot between the two, and i look like an [censored].

I love those multi calls, but seriously, the first call went with "fortuidous touch" to describe Petty's desperate spoil.  Huge facepalm fella.

People just need to hear Eddie Betts & even Jack Riewoldt describe the degree of skill & execution in that kick & goal ..not one suggestion it wasn’t deliberately executed…

I was listening to ABC on Sunday and couldn't believe it when they rated Daicos' goal as better.

[censored] what filth biased [censored] that was.

They just want the magpie clicks i reckon  …  nobody could actually think Daicos goal was better.

That goal was NOT a fluke. I saw his eyes looking at the spot on the field where he intended the ball to land and where it did indeed land. Of course the unique shape of the ball means there always is an element of luck involved - Fritta said as much about the final two bounces before it went through - but that goal was by design.

Incidentally, you know you’re alive when that goal happens while you’re sitting next to his mum. 😂


Don't even bother about anything else.

Give him the car, house , boat ....

Dons franks or whatever it is.

Competition over. G.o.t.y. 

Done and dusted.

I fell off the coach watching that. I'm sure neighbors thought someone was being killed.

well uncle, you should know by now that the abc is just a woke propaganda operation now

 

Damien Barratt didn't rate Fritta's goal as good as the Nick Daicos one, as it wasn't as important in the context of the game.

3 minutes left on the clock with a 2 point lead, to effectively kick the sealer not enough context?

Because Barrett is a deadset clown who has never liked us.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
