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.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
