Fork 'em

I've posted a few times about the moment on this forum. I loved Frittas 4th over the back of the pack to put us back in it. And Browns mark 10seconds later holding the ball up high like he does and exactly what we got him for. Petraccas all class little runner got the juices flowing. Sparrows off a step I thought I was redlining right then ....... We were coming real hard for this game now. But Olivers ...... Holy 5hit ..... The big guns are takin' it right here .... Right now. I have the image below burnt into my brain like looking through a tunnel with my fist in front of my face just forken roaring. Imagine that sound from 50 thousand of us at the 'G'. Would've been something else.

Now finding myself trying to repress the urge to roar "C'mon Demons!" whenever I watch or listen to the radio calls of Olivers goal. It's like an involuntary reaction that's part of me now. How I'd love to relive that moment and feeling in real time. Just so, not sure if the right word but ..... Primal.

I remember one year he blasted out in front of the Brownlow count but missed about 6games late in the season. And that was that.

Ahhh .... I know exactly what ya talkin' about 😉 But the old man hated Iron Maiden 😂 But I learnt the trick from him. Got a couple Gene Pitney albums back in the day for Xmas. Gotta say though.... "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" is still one of my all time favourite songs. So thanks Dad.

I remember a day at Moorabin in their swamp when he got caught holding the ball. It was significant 'cause it never ever happened before. Was the beginning of the end as far as I'm concerned and let me know the champ must be slowing down.

Picked up 'MAX GAWN - A Captains Diary' for the old mans Christmas present this morning and I'm half way through it 😉😀 Pretty much a diary of the year that was. We all want to know what was on the players minds during the season and their thoughts as it panned out. Well this is the ticket. Gives a good insight into the different personalities at the club also. I'm up to Rd 16 .... What a great read. 😎

If Williams reckons he's a goer. I'm happy.

Depends who goes down. No one can cover their big guns.

Mcrae kicked 6 goals for the season. Oliver 11. Petracca 29. Bont .... 31.

I'm not either. They've got 1 player who's draqged their arrsses from the flames so often it isn't funny.

The whole side were built like juiced up tanks compared to the rest of the competition. And there are question marks on Geelongs drought breaking side with Danks involvement pre essendon. It was Thompson who told Hird his side wasn't strong enough and got across both Dank and "the Weapon". But the AFL did a leftie media job on that and smothered the story with a pillow.

Rivers reminds me of James Hird. There .... I said it.

The whole side were built like juiced up tanks with a pharmacist for a Captain.

That's the thing with Grand Finals. Unless you win your heroic deeds don't really count. Nathan Buckleys Norm Smith for eg. But love Harmesy. Melbourne supporting kid who went and won himself the flag he/we always wanted. Forken Legend.

Must've forgotten Rd 23.

Recently Gawn was asked which were his favourite games this season. His reply apart from the GF was the 3 wins against Geelong. No doubt there's been abit of byplay during previous games that he hasn't forgotten. Just hates 'em.

Was going to post the same but you beat me to it. This season the players hoped they could do it. Now they know they can dominate the best sides in the comp. Confidence you cannot buy.

100%. Resign Jackson and we will.

I'm looking forward to it. Reckon the girls can get us another flag. Success breeds success 🏆

My old man is 73 and declared during the finals it's the best he's seen them play since he was a kid. I know for sure it's the best I've seen them play. The way we defend the whole ground is brilliant and then when we attack it's fast and aggressive. The work rate is amazing.

Got that whole game on USB that regularly gets a run in the car, the yard, the shed .... Whenever, wherever 😎 I don't mind the 3AW version either. I get a kick out've listening to Lloyd have a chuckle in amazement as Oliver slams his through. Enjoy from Petraccas goal 😉😀

3 reasons we flogged the dogs in the GF ........ Our Mids are far better than theirs Our Backs are far better than their forwards. Our Forwards are far better than their backs.

There is. AFL Supercoach. Gawn and Oliver have been 1st picks in mine for years. Trac has been in and out but has cemented his spot over the last 2. He was a little inconsistent over the early years. Gawn and Oliver will give you 100+ pts every week.

Dunno man. Losing Oliver would hurt equally ..... IMO. Might not be as flashy as Petracca but during this season and we we're under the pump it was Oliver who got us rolling. Just a competitive beast that hates to lose. And I love him for it.

Every dingbat knows that to win premierships you need your best players on the field. If you don't you'll struggle.
