Hey guys i was watching the 1998 Game vs Pies on Foxtel the other week and realised how many players we must of lost from then to 2000 when the new generation in Green/Bruce came in.. it would have to be one of the biggest exits in any clubs history and so many of them were high quality... Tingay, Glenn Lovett, Lyon come to mind.. but there were at least 6 more... can anyone name them all... ? was a great effort in 2000 considering the experience we lost

    We still had stinga on the list in 2000 I think but he was injured. Moved onto Sydney the following year.

    Would have lost stynes after 98 as well I assume.

    Prymke and Charles were 97

    Smith, Stynes, B. Lovett end 98

    Lyon, G. Lovett, Viney and Tingay (I think without looking it up) were end 99

    Update to my previous post, Tingay was on the list through 2000 without playing a game and B.Lovett retired in May 98 without playing a match that year.

    Darren Kowal was out at the end of 99 too.

    Shanahan and Matthew Febey were end 2000, Steve Febey 2001

    yeh was a big regeneration.. was funny watching the game seeing grgic and johnstone dominate... ahhhhh the memories.... suprised Smith's last season was 98 given how well he played in that pies game.. i guess injury just got to him like it cut down so many of our other players harshly eg lyon, tingay, schwarz.. we would probably have the worst record of losing champion players to chronic injuries/unlucky ones eg Schwarz.. or am i just saying that because i am a dees fan and remember them more specifically>?

    No you're right we were smashed by injuries. Tingay, Schwarz, Lyon, Jakovich, Prymke, G Lovett.... we should have won a flag in the 90's if not for injuries.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
