Best 30 minutes of football ever?

[maskmcgee]

17 minute mark 3rd quarter, Bulldogs led by 19 points. From that point on Melbourne kicked 16.4.100 to 1.1.7 in a grand final.

Best 30 minutes ever played?

That was brutal. Glorious to watch.

Honestly, it was up there. They were nailing them straight from center bounces, out of packs, from the boundary, on the run.

They completely dominated a stacked ball-winning midfield and made them look 2nd rate.

Was awesome to watch. Emphatic. The first 2 quarters made it look like we were set for a tight epic, then the Dogs looked like they might take it with a good run on, and then it was over. But the other way.

Best of the last 20 years for sure.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

There wasn't much resistance there though.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

It was a masterpiece.

It was poetry in motion.

 

[Osho]

I can't remember anything like it.

 

[Bungeye]

Anything looks good when there is no resistance from the centre bounce...

 

[Geoffa32]

Honestly thought Doggies had the game.


Dees flicked the switch.


Brutal Footy for that last 40 minutes

For a close game to be blown apart like that.. wow.

Best 40 minutes of football in history

I think it will be remebered for the Doggies hitting the wall after crisscrossing the country.

ecstasy for Melb fans, disappointing for neutrals to see the game blow out to a non-contest.

I think it will be remembered for both

Just heard on FOX in the last 40 minutes it was 100pts to 7pts WOW!!

Against the midfield that’s been talked up as one of the best and deepest of recent time, who had smashed us to that point in the game. It was pretty decent. Our highest score of the year.

'Best ever' superlatives probably get bandied around a little too much, but man, that was absolutely scintillating stuff.

Not for the Dogs lack of chasing or trying. Dees were just far too good. They just made it look like the Dogs gave up but there was plenty of run still.

100 points in a quarter and change of football in a Grand Final... you would be hard-pressed to find better. It has to be in that conversation.

 

[JayJ20]

Yeah that was up there with the best I've seen.
16.4 - 100 to 1.1 - 7 in one and a half quarters is crazy.

 

[Occidental]

There has never been anything like that in any Grand Final ever.
Check the stats for 120 years.
No run of 16 goals to 1 has ever been done in a Grand Final.
(Geelong had a run of 14 to 1 during the 2007 GF).

ZOMG is this real life

 

[BF Tiger]

It was phenomenal. Still wondering how the Dogs went from dominating to dominated like they did.

 

[Tim Evans Beard]

Easily the best 30 minutes of football today.

 

[RandB]

It just happened and it kept on going and I kept on drinking.

...and it kept on going.

Nothing can stop this mob when they kick in.

Go you Demons!

 

[bullish23]

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. It was a tough watch thou.

Well done to the Dees. Outstanding season.

 

[iBeng]

It was a one way demolition and easily the most dominating performance this year and for some time.
