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.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
