Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


Greatest / most memorable MFC goals ever


Ash35

Recommended Posts

Need help / suggestions.

Trying to put together some football highlight videos for Youtube.

One of them will be the top 40 MFC goals ever, maybe even a top 50.

I have got a collection together but I don't want to miss any really memorable goals.

So need suggestions, just to make sure I haven't missed any.

Any player, any era.

To maybe help narrow down suggestions, I already have the obvious ones, eg Farmer GOTY 1998, the Liam Jurrah sitting on his butt snap against Freo 2009. Woewodin vs Port 1998, Oliver 3 weeks ago in Adelaide.

I won't list them all, but happy for you guys to throw any suggestion out there.

Wonnameri in the goalsquare against Freo at the MCG, putting the Dees in front after trailing by 50 points.  I was at that game. 

Gary Lyon kicked a 70m torp in the early 90's (I think).

Travis Johnstone, 2nd semi-final in Adelaide v Crows, streaming down the boundary on forwqrd flank, goaled from 50m.

Off the top of my head:

Flash's running goal and Yze's boundary goal from the comeback against Freo in 08

Schwarz's baulk in the 94 finals

The goal kicked in the 04 demolition of the Blues in 04 (Davey or Bruce?) after two blues ran into each other

Neita's goal against the Hawks in 02 after flattening McCabe

Jakovich's scissor goal from 91

Leoncelli's winning goal against the Crows in 01

Farmer's big goal from the goalsquare in the Semi against the Saints in 98

Two candidates. Saw both. Incomparable.

Hassa Mann's goal from the boundary at Glenferrie Oval to secure top position in 1964 finals.

Neil "Froggy" Crompton's goal in the last minutes of the 1964 Grand Final. Our last premiership.

Nothing else comes close except for Robbie's last goal against Sydney in the semi finals in 1987.

From memory, 1989 Princess Park in the mud v Hawks - GF replay. Kicked from 55m-58m mark, sailed through. Heavy track. I think just before or on qtr time siren.

No. 1 has to be Froggy's goal to win the 64 Granny.

My favourite, and I was 2 at the time and not even there, was Brian Wilson's running goal that was the sealer in Rnd 22, 1987. "Cover yourself in glory". 

Gazza kicked a torp from the centre square in the 88 prelim against Carlton. 

The wiz would have 30 out of 50.

There's also the massive torp he kicked from inside the centre square at Waverley against Carlton in the '88 Prelim (last passage on this clip), and this beauty against Fremantle at the 'G, also from inside the centre square. 

Others worth a mention: Lyon again, kicking the winner against West Coast in the '88 Elimination (end of this clip), and Todd Viney from the boundary line in the opening seconds of the '87 Elimination. 

Also like this one from Schwarz. 

But the goal from Robbie at the 1.50 mark of this video is one of the best I've ever seen from an MFC player.

Also 1988 prelim vs Carlton kicked one from the centre square at Waverley

Garry Lyon 88 Elimination Final vs WCE to pinch the game is another 

Edit - just saw the above posts

Was against the blues IIRC.

Wet day with a muddy ball.

Then he slotted one from the centre square with a new ball.

I can't remember the full set of circumstances but Travis Johnstone kicked an absolute beauty against Adelaide in the 2002 finals.

Aaron Davey selling some candy twice to Freo and nailing it from outside 50 in our massive come from behind win at the G is another.

Was definitely against the Hawks on a bogheap at Princes Park, Queens Bday 1989. I was at that game sitting up the top of the stands with my dad and I've got the game on DVD.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
