  1. How do I get a copy of the replay of that game?
  2. I watched the replay on YouTube last night, my partner was thrilled to watch it, I can’t understand anyone who wouldn’t be. I picked the wrong one, I think there are several, and I got the one with Whatley and co, all they did was yell at each other and I had to turn the sound down. It was horrendous so I’ll have to go home and watch it again to wipe my mind of it. Even in the second half all they were interested in was the “Bont”, I think they were convinced he was going to pull it out of the bag for them. My partner doesn’t have Foxtel so I think I’ll have to get it for her so she can watch every game next year
  3. Guess we will have to do it again. I've been watching the games we played through the year and it seems to me we were building up to the finals and some of our wins during the season weren’t great, we just kept winning and improving.
  4. Lloyd gave his top 20 players for next year the other day and he had 3 Bombers in it and 4 or 5 Demons. Clarrie was number one Tracc was at 4 and May was 20 I think with Lever in there at about 15. Steele was at 2, ahead of Tracc.
  5. I'm obviously a lot older than you and I reckon that guy used to be at every match I went to and it used to be, peanuts shilling a bag. Some of the old timers on here would remember that.
  6. Demons captain Max Gawn opens up on Melbourne’s AFL premiership journey (theaustralian.com.au) Great interview with Max, hope it hasn't been posted already
  7. Watched the replay 4 times but I have to stop watching it late in the evening, I get so revved up I can't sleep. The snippets, I've watched them heaps of times. Sleeping tablet tonight, i'm exhausted. 🥱😴 I haven't seen a more dominant performance in a Grand Final before, that's between two AFL sides, I don't count GWS. It's on rotation on Fox and I'm watching the Geelong slaughter at the moment.
  8. I think he's got soft hands and doesn't snatch at the ball, it just falls in to his hands. I watched the first half of the first game we played against the Bullies this year and it was amazing the number of times the Weid got first hands to the ball but he couldn't hold one of them. I would think that he should spend the summer getting lessons from Fritta as to how to mark the ball and not slap at it. If he could hold them he would be a very good footballer.
  9. There are some players that make it seem so easy and he is one go them. Doesn't get flustered and just performs at the same level week after week. He looks the least likely to be a key forward, because of his size but he seems to be able to handle the big and slow or the smaller and fast backs.
  10. I'm actually going to leave mine up for a bit longer and in fact I'm getting another poster to put up next to the one on the front fence that says 2021 Premiers. That will stay up until I get sick of seeing it, which may be never. I've waited for such a long time to be able to say that, I think that leaving it up for a while is within my rights.
  11. Pray tell, where do you get the signed jumpers?
  12. Glad to help and it seems as if it was worth it, hope you all enjoyed it and especially your folks, they are the long suffering.
  13. Before my wife passed away I took her to a club function and she made Max promise he would win a flag for me, this could be the year he does.
  14. Sitting out the back today and i heard, blaring out, the club theme song. I went outside but due to the wind I couldn't work out which way it was coming from. Whatever it was welcomed by me.
  15. Probably because you just posted on it 😀
  16. I think Hunt has been a lot better player since Langdon arrived at the club, it's like he's moulded himself on Ed and at times onfield, it's hard to tell the difference.
  17. On Jack, he is a very good player and always has been, but for some reason gets targeted by a large section of the Demonland posters, some of whom wouldn't have a clue. He has had his share of injuries and if he isn't BOG in his first game back he cops both barrels He has copped more criticism than the majority of the other players combined, except perhaps James Harmes. It amazes me that some posters on here just come on to rubbish the players without knowing what their role is in the game.
  18. You are spot on there, we were embarrassing and did nothing to fly the flag for our teammates. That was a dog act by Long to target a player with his head down over the ball and to smash in to him that way was as low as anything I've ever seen on a football field. The Melbourne players didn't give a yelp and just let it go, I went to that game expecting we would get beaten but not humiliated.
  19. Legitimate point or otherwise this should be on the general board, not the football board. Can the mods move it and if any Demon supporters wish to pursue it they can do so there.
  20. Agree, what has an earthquake got to do with Football, this is now a political debate and shouldn't be of the football board.
  21. Many a player has said this before, they want their current club well compensated, but when push comes to shove, self interest always wins out. I don't know if he'll come to Melbourne or not, but he could nominate Carlton right now if he wanted Freo to be well compensated.
  22. That may be so but how long did it take Roos/PJ/Goody to right the ship. Also, once they start to go up the ladder they'll no longer be able to feast on high draft picks and will need a smart operator like JT to select talent, perhaps they can lure SOS back, he did a good job. By the time they may be close to challenging Cerra will be about to retire. .
