Yeah right, i do get those two mixed, they were our only moments of joy that year

Love them like children, strangers were hugging.

Edited by why you little

thanks for the heads up

14 mins to go

I yelled my guts out at that match.

What a match to be at...

The elation of breaking a drought like that, is up there with winning a final.

 

I agree, its like winning a final or better when you see something like that happen. I think i nearly cried for the fella's after they came through for that win, still gets the heart pounding just thinking about that game. its the bad times that make the good times so good..............


I remember this game so well- down by 50 at half time, we just started clawing back. Davey kicked a ripper, we got within 19 in the third but the Dockers kicked two including a massive one from pavlich and we were down by 32. But Wonaeamirri came in and...wow. There was no better feeling than when the final siren went at the game. The 19,423 crowd sounded like 50,000. And the top level was closed. And Robbo was thriving, and even Brad Miller was as well

That was the only game I saw that year (as I live in NZ)

Here was my response then.

That comeback still gives me goose bumps.

I just like then, we all still want to know who your grandfather was ;-)

I remember running on to the ground after the game. Turning back to the members stands and watching the whole crowd singing yet another rendition of the grand old flag. It was quite a surreal moment and I don't think ever in my life have I been prouder to be a Melbourne supporter.

I was at this game and remember turning to my mum at half-time to tell her I was leaving. She persuaded me to hang around until 3 quarter-time. Luckily I did. I knew for certain we were going to run over them in the last quarter. Momentum was too strong.

Reminds me also (not that I really needed it) how great a player Pavlich is.

Kicks a goal from 50, puts himself in the middle, wins the clearance and bombs one in from the centre square.

If he was Victorian, he'd be one of the biggest 5-10 players of the game in the last decade (if he's not anyway!).

That was the only game (at the G) I didn't go to that year...massive WTF when the AFL home page loaded.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
