low flying Robbo

I agree it was subdued, but as soon as Harmes stole the ball in the third and hit Fritta on the lead it was amazing! The kick by Harmes was celebrated almost as much as the goal

It's called the "Spectacular Play" Rule...

I believe that BB gets most of his frees for chopping of the arms (see the second half of the GF). He is tall, gets up there and reaches as high as possible. Most defenders can't quite match that reach so when they swing for the spoil, they chop the arms... Tmac can't quite get that same height. He most just gets held onto, which is much easier to ignore...

Daniel started on Sparrow, but it all came down to their defensive man at the ball up getting sucked in. As soon as he did, we got out the front and Daniel had to rush the ball. Straight away we created a man advantage in our forward line.

I've been messaging one of the players as i'm doing some work for him, and when i said "bring on back-to-back" he replied with "got to win one at the G!" Pumped!

I imagine it would have been even more quiet at the end of the round 23 game if there was a crowd there, rather than no crowd... is that possible?

I've always said following melbourne has made me a stronger person...

Yeah i heard he'd been doing some dropins. He must live nearby as I often see him at one of my favourite cafes early in the morning. I'll have to hit him up to see if he still has it with him 😄

He's good enough to be many teams' first ruck

Sounds like old fashioned clickbait from the Hun.... Note: i haven't read the article

Yeah everything I've seen makes it look like a mark too. Maybe Trac made the split second decision that it would be too far for him to line up the shot, and he just wanted to get on the board early and get the team going.

I decided to listen to the Dennis Cometti call while I was working a few weeks ago. What got me was how many times Petracca was mentioned in the second half. He was in EVERYTHING!

I feel sorry for my baby boy who's never seen a Melbourne premiership in his lifetime 😄

Thus why there is no hint of Melbourne logos anywhere on their training gear

They are going to need the extra training time after that Bender they all had after the GF 😄

I could see it from my loungeroom when watching the Casey games... They have absolutely no excuse

I hope they got approval from their landlords.... 😉

As a Victory supporter, I;m part of the crowd that sings Stand By Me before every home game. It actually creates a great atmosphere when you've got a packed house. Given we had a link with Liverpool for a bit it would have been great to go with You'll Never Walk Alone instead. Also as part of the standing room crowd behind the goals we also had a bit of a tradition singing Horses in like the 59th minute or something. That was good fun

Loved his game in the GF! Looking at his family in the rooms after the game, they are all very tall boys.

The bloke front and centre just shaking his head in disbelief was all of us over the last 10 years

Burgo got us primed to be at the peak of our game at the perfect time.

I’m surprised the umpire didn’t hold up play and ask them to leave the protected area… Razor would have 😂

I had tears on my eyes on that audio of the final siren

One thing I noticed while listening to a replay of the radio call, is the sound of the crowd after a goal is so good to keep you pumped. It's such a buzz-kill to go from seeing a cracking goal straight to an ad break. Its just not the same to have the commentators talk about it after the break. I usually watch every game on Kayo on the PC so I don't see the ads, but for the GF I wanted to watch it in the best quality I could on the Living Room TV (it's just too old to have the Kayo app onboard).

I remember watching him dominate up forward for Casey back before we drafted him. His marking skills were ridiculous for a skinny kid.
