Have tried to erase it from memory but can remember feeling drained of all emotion and the palpable shock was only tempered by the elderly demon supporter in front of us who suffered a heart attack and had to be attended by medical support. Just outright confusion and disbelief, quiet surreal. I cannot even remember where we went to drown our sorrows and relive the drama but certainly it will only be erased with a flag.

It is interesting to read all this and realize almost 30 years ago we all had that sick numb sad feeling.

And there was nothing we could do to stop it...

Still hurts to this day. Didn't help that the car i was a passenger in that day was parked next to the Whorethorn Cheer Squad Van!!

Didn't they let us nknow....

Would have we been a chance to beat Carlton in the big one?

Did we beat Carlton during the season?

The only consolation after the Hawthorn match was that we were buggar all chance to knock off the Blues. They were a cut above that year

Hawks ended up getting done by 33 and Robbie was pretty much no chance to play (although that point has been argued on here before)

It was an amazing few weeks of footy for Melbourne supporters

I developed an intense hatred for the Dawks supporters that day; in my stricken state after the game leaving the ground we were followed by 3 jeering gloating scumbags. I ignored them but could not believe how they behaved having fallen over the line as they did. Hate them more than the filth!!!

Re the following week, several players were injured not the least of which was Robbie who from memory did his knee in the last quarter and would have almost definitely missed the following week.

I was at the game.... it sucked.

I too was there with my 10 year old son, he was inconsolable, cried all the way home and shut himself in his bedroom.

Was in the pocket when Eishold took the mark close to goal in the pocket, I felt he didn't want it...

I didn't cry but probably consumed numerous glasses of whatever afterwards..........

I was behind the goals at the Scoreboard end where all the misses took place in the last quarter. Tony Campbell's miss was worse for me than Eishold's. He had Robby on his own on the goal line screaming for the ball with no one near him and Campbell ignored him, blazed away and missed. Still one of the most traumatic events of my life even though we would almost certainly have lost the next week in freak over 32oC heat and with a multitude of key injuries.

I went home from the game to my gorgeous Qld girlfriend who told me I was an [censored] for being so upset about a stupid game of sport. I told her we weren't on the same planet and split up with her. I had a bad nights sleep, got up the next morning late and rushed off to a game of footy. Didn't have time to strap my ankles and didn't worry about it. Took a mark on a lead and my right foot went into a divet on the ground as I came down. I kept going and my foot stayed behind. It ended up sticking out sideways. Basically snapped my foot off. Five operations later, my very insignificant footy career was over. I wasn't too upset about the girlfriend but I still suffer to this day from the ankle and the game when I see topics like this and are reminded of it.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
