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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
