"Australia's oldest and proudest football club celebrates 150 years.

This DVD follows the birth of a dream on a paddock that would become the MCG,one of the most famous sporting stadiums in the world.

We look at the Redlegs as they win their first premiership in 1900, the emergence of a power team under Albert Chadwick in the 20s, and then the hat trick of premierships from 1939.

The 40s was a unique time in the club's history. A drawn grand final, Brownlow glory, relived through the eyes of the game's oldest living premiership captain and Brownlow Medallist Dr Donald Cordner.

We celebrate the Legends…Norm Smith and Ron Barassi as they take us on a golden run from 1954 until 1964. Eight grand final's for six premierships.

The lean years in the late sixties and seventies produced mighty players like Wells and Flower before the re-birth in the late eighties.

In 2008 the club's heroes gathered for a 150th birthday party…the heroes tell their stories...Stynes and Lyon, Viney, Febey and Robertson..

And of course we pay tribute to David Neitz as he bows out as the clubs all time greatest goal kicker, goals record holder and the man who led the Demons more than any other player.

Melbourne - a 150th birthday tribute on DVD."

Sounds good. Anyone reccomend?

There's a couple of other DVDs around.

Red and Blue - History of the Melbourne Football Club 1939 - 2005.

Melbourne Demons Magic Moments.

http://www.dvdland.com.au/products/MAGIC-M...-MELBOURNE.html

Ive seen the Magic Moments DVD. Its about 90 minutes long. Its ok. But not enough old footage. For example, its cut up into themes, like great games, great goals, great marks and greats of the club. In the greats of the club segments, not only is Brad Miller counted as a great of the club, but they show more Miller highlights than they show Robbie Flower highlights. Most of the focus is on the last decade or so. Not really worthwhile.

Magic Moments is boarderline OK.

I'd only get it if you had $30 you didn't need, it's really not much chop and whilst it brings back great memories, most of them are from you watching it shouting "show highlights of the other game" or "why didn't they show the bit where so and so did this"


it has some good bits in it, but as stated it could have been so much better given its title! I guess the problem is who they commissioned to make it.

The Magic Moments is an awful butchered, rushed release. There's the same footage of a Jeff White goal twice, some commentary that does not match the pictures at one stage, a truly amateurish release. I felt ripped off when it got to the end of that DVD. Avoid.

Yeah, forgot about the video-audio mix up. I think it shows an Andy Lovell goal with commentary for a Jim Stynes goal. Plus there is more than once where they repeat the footage. I think it shows Robbie Flower kicking the same goal twice.

I also think that some of the segments are just ripped off from some club function put together by Stephen Phillips. Theres also a couple Channel 9 news pieces that theyve just edited in that seem to have no conext at all.

I rented it with the plan to buy it if I liked it. I didnt buy it.

Id like to know if anybody has seen the other DVDs and if theyre worth getting.

 

Don't know if they put it on to DVD but Hotter than Hell 1998 season highlights is a good one to watch. Seeing the likes of Lyon, Schwartz, Neitz, and Farmer in the same forward makes you realise how blessed we were during that time (forward line wise).

Yea i have it, it's not bad, its about the dees so i don't really care if it was crap or not lol

Best part of it is they show the last few minutes or so of the Melbourne v Brisbane game at the G last year

when we came back right near the end and won by a point or something


magic moments was pretybad, but red n blue is pretty good. My fav dvd is biffs,bumps and brawlers with a section on Grinter.I always wonder why the 1964 gf isnt on dvd/video when the 1963 one is

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
