At 40-59 down the commentator said they needed two of the next three goals to stay in the game.
Dees looked completely out of ideas half way through the 3rd quarter. Couldnāt move the ball out of their own half. Get a goal out of nowhere and suddenly canāt stop scoring goals.
Petracca the clear Norm Smith following that comeback.

Fritsch has 5 goals too and was the one who started the comeback. Heāll get votes
11 straight goals. Mental.
68 points in 18 minutes of footy.
First time since 1964 the Demons have won. Also the last year Tokyo held the Olympics. The half time musical entertainment today was provided by Birds Of Tokyo.
The Demons outscored the Bulldogs 16.4 (100) to 1.1 (7) from that point in the game. Thatās phenomenal stuff.
Iād be surprised if that kind of finish from the mid 3rd has ever been achieved, in any game.
Celebrations must be wild in Melbourne.
Yeah Iām waiting on the useful afl stats page to bring things from the game. Serious third and fourth quarter

The money in womenās AFL is surely pitiful?
pretty poor alright. As far as I recall, there is a tiered salary set up where you have a couple of top players only on the tier 1 level, and then the majority below and then another tier. I had thought there was 4 tiers of it. The average wage is about $20k. That equates to about ā¬12.5k. Season itself is January to April. Preseason probably for about 2 months before that start, so maybe 5-6 months total. Irish girls there Iām assuming get accommodation and expenses covered too. you wouldnt get rich off it, but sure its a handy free holiday in decent weather.

Youād imagine those going out there must be getting financially well looked after elsewhere. Itās kind of like the children of rich families who follow their hobbies and pursuits rather than building a career because they donāt have to worry about the financial implications of not building a career.
yeah sure they are probably still in college or working a handy enough job they can take time off. Plenty of time for career shit in your 30s. Live life now and enjoy it.

Yeah they are dead right to go out now while they can.
Plenty time to take up teaching in their 30ās.
Good luck trying to buy a house in this day and age and set yourself up in life if youāre only starting to build your career in your 30s these days.
Generally the people who have the freedom to go off travelling the world in their 20s without bothering with their career have money behind them. Impossible without it.
Flicked on a game on BT between Melbourne and GWS Giants. Why is there hardly anyone there? 2 poor teams?
