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.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training.

Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
