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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    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
