Hey,

I found this on You tube. It may have been posted before but well worth another view. I couldnt find it on a quick search (please combine with any old thread)

Just a few things hit me when I watched this. G Lyon drove this team. After nearly every goal Gaz ran up to the kicker and told him all about it and gave them a rev up. Jacka.........Jesus he was good, only if Watts can light it up like this when he makes his mark.

But the main thing I wanna see back in the Red and blue is the passion in this clips!!

Enjoy

Go Dees

    Jackovich was a God. Still is. He is part of some of my earliest memories as a Melbourne supporter.

    I think it was Kevin Dyson......he robbed Russell Morris of that footy...what a steal. Brett Lovett...prolific.

    If only he had have stayed fit. On his day the best I have seen as a forward in the red and blue. The filth hated him more then anything and wasn't it good when he turned it on against them!

    Agree re lyon and being the heart and soul of the side. Also not a bad side in that day!

    Awesome, hopefully Watts can bring back that kind of forward dominance and maybe even the hair. Would be great to see the mullet strutting around the forward line again.

    I do rate Brett lovett's Mullet higher than Jacko's. but Febey's Under cut is even better

    I remember Rex Hunt's description of Brett Lovett one day when he passed him on the way in to the ground. He said he looked as scruffy as an unmade bed! Exactly...

    To all those who question-Watch the first clip & tell me G Lyon does not love the MFC-He just knows its best to stay diplomatic when working in the Media. I am sure Gaddy has had many chats with Jimma over the last 12 months.

    Wow, that was a blast from the past.

    Steven Clarke, had forgotten all about him. Remember that day out at Windy Hill when had a shot after the siren from about 50 out and all the Bombers fans in the goal square went the punch. I think there was even a policeman on a horse nearby. Crazy days.

    My Jako memory was back in, I think it might have been 1992, not sure, but it was the day he knocked Gary Pert's water bottle out of his hands and kicked it away. He ended up getting dragged in the last quarter. I was sitting in the Southern Stand, second level with a couple of Pies mates, surrounded by a few hundred other Pies supporters, not another Melbourne fan nearby. I had a number 13 on my jumper. When he kicked Pert's water bottle away, I stood up and clapped. I was then showered with sandwiches, empty and not so empty cans of drink and half a meat pie. I just turned and bowed.

    We went on to lose by a few goals I think. It wasn't close. But if Jako had have ended up kicking the winning goal, I'm not sure how I would have made my way out of there. Goodtimes.

    Back in '92, when i was doing yr12, we had one K Sheedy come to the school for a talk to the footy side. He was harping on how Kevin Dyson was the best kick in the league and how shitty he was that they missed out on him after their recruiters rated him very highly - good to get atleast one over those pr*cks ;)

    I posted these clips last year. Makes me happy knowing fellow Dee fans are still enjoying these.

    Last Time i went to vic Park was the Day Jacka kicked 8, we won after trailing all day. Beautiful day it was.

    'why you little', I've actually got that Victoria Park Game on DVD as well. A cracker. Schwarta ended up playing centre half back after Sav threatened to take the game away from us. The Ox ended up shutting him down, hauling in 11 marks and 3 votes in the process.

    If my blasted DVD drive wasn't busted, I'd get more clips up.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
