Flower , Wells , Alves was a very good line .

Great call. Each player on that line was the best or 2nd best in the league in their position at that time. Unfortunately the rest of the team were not so talented

    Wells was brilliant - 130 Brownlow votes . About 20 shy of the great Flower . I can't remember Wells playing too many bad games . Alves wasn't far short either . Pity we didn't have a much of a forward line in those days though we did have a few goers up forward . Biffo had a go !

    Not exactly lines, but these groups were pretty good:

    94 spine: Lyon, Schwarz, Stynes, Neitz, Wight

    94 half back line: Prymke, Neitz, B. Lovett

    94 forward line that contained: Schwarz, Lyon, Charles, Lovell, Pike (all at their best)

    98 forward line that contained: Lyon, Neitz, Schwarz, Farmer, Robertson and a resting Jeff White.

    The 98 side was the best Melbourne side I've ever seen. I was too young to remember the late 80s early 90s though.

    Ahh ..... the 'stolen' premiership, but oh so satisfying for that very reason.

    The '48 win might be a 'stolen' one as well . The Bombers kicked 7.27 to our 10.9 in the 1st 'drawn' Grand Final' . Of course , we won the replay quite comfortably in the end by 39pts .

    I can't quite get last Saturday nights win out of my system yet ! It's always nice to rub Essendon's nose in it . They still can't kick straight .

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
