    Watching this and loving it.

    I was there with a mate and we gave it to every cats supporter leaving the ground, how we did not get beaten to a bloody pulp still surprises me to this very day.

    Beards were a lot more stylish and groomed back then too.

    Amazing we could ever compete, let alone beat any team.

    Fixed.

    What a memory, I was there also. Was that 2006 ? I think we ended there season in that game. Sadly they have gone in to greatness & we have been a disgrace ever since that game.

    It was 2005. Looking at the playing list back then, it wasnt particularly full of stars (eg players like hard nut Godfrey, Nicholson, big Benny Holland(which i remember one commentator said that Garry Ablett/some other gun had more skill in their pinky than Holland did all up). The difference is these guys were giving their all while our current list hasn't being doing so.

    If that game was 2005, we must have drawn down there in 2006? Does that sound right? It's been that long since we have won a real game my memory is failing me.

    Yep. 2005. Ontop of the ladder after round 12 only to then loose 7 in a row and fall out of the 8 needing to win our last 3 to make the finals.

    Started with that 1 point win over the Cats, then beat an inform Bulldogs team by 3 points after being down by about 20 with 5 minutes to go and then knocked off Essendon by 10 points in Round 22. Geelong did get revenge though flogging us in the elimination final and King breaking Jeff White's face.

    2006 was when we had the draw down there that ended their season as has alreay been mentioned.

    The Cats smashed us in the first final a few weeks later.

    It's actually so sad to think that it's hard for many on here to remember a time when Melbourne was a normal, competitive football team. For the last seven seasons now, we've spent our time in-fighting over new coaches, bad players, who should be dropped, who should be delisted, who to draft, who to trade, how bad our list is, the lack of members/supporters, our financials, so on and so forth.

    I can't wait for us to return at some point to just being a regular, competitive footy side, where we spend each week not attacking ourselves, but contemplating which forward set up is going to get us into the finals, or which teams stand between us and a flag, and which of our players are in contention for AA/Brownlows.

    The Cats smashed us in the first final a few weeks later.

    Smashed us, and White's face. I was in the stands and heard it happen. Sickening.

    Although according to Mark Thompson, Stephen King was lucky not to break his foot on Jeff White's face. That was an absolutely demoralizing game.

    Till this day I haven't forgiven Thompson. What a smart arse!

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
