MFC and Geelong travelling to USA via Hawaii and playing exhibition matches 1963.

Bluey Adams retiring at 28 yo. Right at the top of his game.

Richmond being allowed to play at OUR ground.

Barassi and Smithy gone.

Hassa Mann gone

Frank Davis gone

Greg Wells gone

Greg Parkes gone

Don Williams and Gary Hardeman came back

Laurie Fowler. A recruit that was actually successful.

Petal ignored the big bucks and stayed when i was so used to us losing our best player each year (or so it seemed at the time).

Johnny Beckwith demonstrating how he could make a kick follow the boundary line at a school clinic.

Wondering how Peter Moore could stand between the Centre and Centre half back and get the opposition to kick it to him unattended 15 times a game.

Big Carl came to save us. Twice. I used to sell him a Herald most weeknights. Always 2 bob. I would see the Rothman's Falcon and sprint.

The return of the Prodigal Son. We won a few in a row until Hawthorn dismantled us at Princes Park.

Grinter 5 on debut against Carlton.

Danny Hughes belting Brian Taylor in the back of the head at least once a quarter..

'Farmer' Giles and Batto combine to get us over the line at Waverley at night.

Gazza's broken leg, Warren Dean's goal and the interminable wait for the Hawthorn result at Western Oval.

Grinter's hit on Chris Mew, right in front of us. The noise was unbelievable!

The humiliation of the GF next year following Jamie Duursma's shut down job on Kernahan to get us there in the first place.

Ted Fidge breaking Darren Millane's jaw at Waverley. 6 weeks. Retirement. Hadn't played seniors for 2+ years. Martyr.

Grinter, elbow tucked in, lining up Kernahan. Steve ducked his head just in time. He would have been a paraplegic.

Tony Campbell and Peter Rhode shutting down Dunstall and Dermie 2 weeks in a row. 1990?

Ox and Storm Boy take Carlton's defence apart. 1994.

Injuries to Stinga and Ox.

Seeing Ox do his knee in a practice game in Albury. Dejection on the way home.

Jakovich. Martin Pike.

Craig Turley. WTF??

Andy Goodwin and Nigel Smart at Westlakes.

Daniher not making a move as the prelim? against North slipped away in 1998.

2006. Last dip.

Lions, Freo, Swans. At MCG.

Moustache McMahon. Only feral goal I ever cheered.

$cully.

Big Jim.

The rise of Nugget.

Our collective fragile hopes soaring like Jeremy Howe.

Heaps more. These are just off the top of my head.

Edit for spelling.

The "Jimi Hendrix" type career of Allen Jakovich.

He came he shone so bright and then left too quickly. If only Jacko had played for 10-12 years....3 was just a taste.

 

Probably the most times I've ever watched a goal...

[media=]

I was behind the goals at that end!

I reckon the Wizard might just about be my favourite.

well after it. I thought he'd taken the train back to Ballarat. But the cops were fun

Classic! thought as much!

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
