What year was it when ..... ?


My TD

Recommended Posts


Spot on mate. The best we ever played and we lost. Sadly it summed up the ND years in one game. Hope ya find it.

Trapper played the game of his life, especially when Powelly was knocked out. Whoppa kicked a magnificent goal from the boundary, on the run, 40 metres out - I was sitting right behind the kick and an old fool like me dared to dream..........but, alas!

Oh well, bring on 2012!!!

Remember that game I was at a mates 30th, his wife booked a restaurant wihich didn't have a tv, I wathed the 1st and 2nd quarters and listed to the 3rd on the way to the restaurant and was feeling confident. I asked one of the barmen during the party if he knew who won and he said Melbourne, I was happy as thinking bring on the Pies in the prelim next week, then we got back to me mates house and watched the 2nd half of the replay, f#%k I was gutted and wasn't saying too many good things about the barman.

Ran out of Gas literally. I hope the club still have a copy. It would be an interesting learning tool. How not to play a first Quarter.

Absolute disaster of a game from ND. We had them on the ropes at 3/4 time, yet the players were stuffed.

Lost track of the times that the ball came out of the centre and was marked uncontested by Adelaide talls in their forward line.

And the whole time ND had Darren Jolly sitting on the bench!

As usual, he finally got a run with 5 minutes to go when the game was lost. He could have sat at CHB, having a field day, and we would have been in the Prelim.

Was there... What was it.. 8 goals to 1 in the first, with the sole goal coming in with about 2 minutes to play?

Disappointing that McLeod's foot wasn't as injured as it appeared earlier in the game. Trapper played the half of his life. Unfortunately it was in Q2/3, and not Q3/4!

Can't believe it was 10 years ago.

Amazing game - I was there with my 8 year old son - he's nearly 18 now & we still talk about that evening.

40 points down @ quarter time.

Stunning 2nd & 3rd terms.

Trapper was simply a freak in those quarters, Neitz wasn't far behind.

Peter Walsh slams a goal through close on 3 quarter time & we are about 28 points up.

Still to this day don't know how we lost that night.

It hurt that night however you left knowing you had witnessed something very special

Something very special alright........I was down the coast that night and very nearly permanently embedded a bottle top into the TV screen during the last quarter.

What can I say, I spend way to much time on a computer. Nerd life.....

Unfortunately it doesn't host all matches (mainly older games) but theres some good replays in there.

I'm on the cellphone right now, can you download games or specific quarters to your hard drive or just view?

The energy change at the game was incredible. Each Quarter was different. Never forget it.

Was also the last time i sat in the old smokers stand. I love the new 'G, but i miss that old Grandstand.

Some games are broken into quarters and others are left as one single large file. But yes you can download or rip them.

Cool. I haven't seen the 2002 game since a bout a week after it happened on replay. The ending was just too much. Up there with '87

I just finished watching the week before against the Roos! The crows game is next.

The '87 match was before my time but it is legend in my family. I have never seen the whole match only the awful ending.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5
