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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
