Definately. We caned the Crows, and got the Roos the next week. Its history now the Crows went on to win back to back.

Who did we play in the semis inbetween those 2 games? Was it St Kilda?

I reckon our 2000 side would have beaten alot of premiership teams in the 90s, only Essendon were unstoppable and were never going to be beaten. Didn't we score 100 points or more in about 9 or 10 games in a row (It might have been less, but my mind tends to exaggerate these types of things). In 1994 we had one of the most awesome forward lines ever, consisting of Lyon, Jakovich, Schwarz, Pike & Charles (just imagine if we hadda had Neitz in there also!!). But the prelim was a case of the unstoppable force vs the immovable object, and WC had an even better defence.

That is right Oxxx, Glen Jackovich was in superb form then and the great Ox didn't get a sniff. Stinga was hot to trot that year. We were up against it against WC but only one win from the GF. We were close. 2000, well we got there and had a chance, but the Bombers were too good.

Would it be fair to say that on occasions, the missing ingredient we've had for a flag is luck? I mean you look at the Geelong side this year, very few major injuries to key players, and it's something that frustrates the hell out of me. What about the great 2000 Bombers side? They had something like 2-3 changes through the whole season, how would they have done if they lost Lloyd and Hird for the year?

We've been effed in the A when it comes to have a chance at a premiership, always cut down when it was just within reach. '98 is a closest i've seen us come in terms of our quality compared with the competition, no way did Adelaide deserve that cup!

Couldn't agree more. We beat 'em by what, ten goals?

Hi all,

I'm just curious, since I missed out on the 90's having only been properly introduced to AFL around 2000 (lucky charm, I was), with all this hype about Franklin and so on, I had a look back and noticed that David Schwartz closed in on 3 goals a game, and managed 15 brownlow votes playing alongside Garry Lyon in 1994, which was also the season he played just his 50th game.

Then there were two (Three?) knee reconstructions in rapid succession, and he never got back to that level, is what I understand happened.

Anyone care to fill in some details? Some nostalgia to pass on, memories of the days when...

We were a real chance to win a Flag in '95-Make no mistake. The Ox did his Knee during Pre-Season on a Bodgy Ground near the Junction oval. I just remember being Gutted.

the Team didn't make the Finals. Carltank "won" the flag. (Their means of winning are always questionable) Neil Balme would have been so frustrated. The ox would have Rivalled Carey & Glen Jakovich, i have no doubt.

The Fact he came back after 3 Reco's Puts him into Legend Status


We were a real chance to win a Flag in '95-Make no mistake.

We were a "real" chance until the season actually started. We lost the first six games of the year and then lost the last 4 games. Finishing with 9 and 13. In reality we were not a show at all.

After being knocked out of the 1994 finals in unceremoniously in straight sets, Carlton (now Visybank) were set for revenge and monstered the competition savagely that year and finished 18 an4 at the end of the H&A four games clear of second.

Yes Yes I remember all that RR-My point was that if the Ox had Played the season like a Carey or Jakovich we were a Big Chance. We lost the First six Games because the Ox wasn't there!! How Many Brown paper Bags were Handed out by "TheCArlton Crew" pre '95

You could only hope WYL.

That was the year that Jako, Tingay, Prymke and Charles also went down. So the wheels had well and truly fallen off and while the Ox was a factor there was more to it.

And I can attest that Visy had eight environmental management executives who all just happened (by chance) to play for Carlton.!

Wasn't it up at Albury at Lavington Oval? Or was that the third time he did it?

The second one was at the G against Sydney if memory serves me correct.

I thought it was the SCG. Mind you, i was about 9

Yes the Second time was defanitely the 'G against bcoz i was sitting not far from his mum & she was Gutted like everyone. The whole 'G went Silent. I am pretty sure his first Injury was close to the Junction but hey it's a long time ago & i Just get [censored] off thinking about it.

Hawthorn are about to start another Dynasty-again. Around that ime both clubs were broke...The MFC still is......

There was a thread not so long ago that had something to do with ranking your top 5 heart-breaks as a demons supporter...

Of the generation that have been supporting from about the mid nineties:

Obviously Broady ranked number 1.

2002 semi-final against Adelaide was up there. Trapper's finest footballing hour.

And I think Schwarta probably ranked second in amongst all the others.

We should have a look for that thread sometime... Was a good one.

1987 Prelim will always be no 1 Heartbreak no matter what decade you discuss, but yes it would be good to get that thread Back up and running

No. 5! The Ox!

He will always be my favourite player! Great memories and inspiring too watch. Legend!

Injuries have been greatley cruel to us and denied us great success! What if....

Tingay is underrated on this site.

Agreed... I put him above Thompson, minus injuries... One of our best genuine mids if not the best, in the same way Ox was our best CHF.

Couldn't disagree more. Broady HAS to be the biggest heartbreak. All other considerations are secondary, including premierships, when it comes to the lives of the players themselves. But apart from that, yes the '87 prelim has stood the test of time as an incident that left scars hat will last a lifetime.

The only good reason for being born in the 80s, as far as I'm concerned: I missed it.

Broady's Tragedy did not happen on the Football Field. It was a completely separate incident. Could have happened to any of us.

I miss the Fire Engine as we all do but The 87 Prelim will always for me be the no 1 Football Tragedy..

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
