Replays on the net

From the Demons supporters at BF this is probably the best compiled list of Melbourne games available to be viewed on the net, including comments on the contents:

This should make the off-season easier to endure....

I've been going through the games, which bring back memories. Also they show how I've forgotten players, as well as appreciate players that I didn't rate as highly way back then. Beveridge, Dyson, Clark for example.

Brave soul to compile all of the 2007-2014 games. There's the odd cracker here and there, but ouch.

Despite that, its a cracking collection. A lot of recent games (2014 onwards) can be found on YouTube, so its great to see a compilation of games from the 2000's with the likes of Neitz, Yze, Bruce, White, Green and Davey at their peak.

I can't wait to get stuck into all those games from 2008 to 2013.

Really love this one:

R 20 1991 v North Melbourne

Jackovich at his best.  11 goals, including 10 to 3/4 time, bringing his total to 50 for the season, but having kicked 60 in the reserves in the same season......Stynes dominating. Luke Beveridge on the wing with Tingay....what could have been!

There's a lot of 'what could have been' when watching those early 90s games.  While they're fantastic to watch, there's an element of sadness that it never all came together at the same time.

Should be pinned.

 

[Call Me What You Will 751]

Yes, I agree - to have the thread or links permanently at the top of the board would be a fantastic on-going reference point. A brilliant resource. How good was Jackovic.......

[Salems Lot 2,483]

Hey Mods, any chance of pinning this?

Kevin Dyson, biggest thighs in the game...ever...

Nice, George!

Particularly liked the Demon father/son resonance going forward. T Viney, Stretch, Gus's old man doing kick out duties for the Roos, and Joel Smith's dad watching from the stands with the Roos.

You're absolutely right about Dyson and Clark. Beveridge was a very average player. Like Clarkson. Interesting how average battlers can become great coaches: Hafey was another.

Last night I watched 1990 Round 22 and 1990 Elimination vs the Hawks.  Rhode and Campbell doing jobs on Brereton and Dunstall two weeks in a row. Bennett a dominant target up forward.  Fast, furious, hard at the ball football and we matched and beat the hawks at their own game.  It almost brought a tear to ones eye to see a Demon side take it up to one of the greatest teams of all time.

We were close to the best side that year. But 8 Quarters of footy against that Whorethorn side took everything out of the tank..

Interesting observation this - perhaps these guys truly believe and espouse the virtues that a champion team can beat a team of champions given their background.

might be why Buckley is struggling to get the best out of his team (long may it continue)
