Neita definitely played, Russian and Whelan missed after being injured in the St Kilda game. Smith came in as the 2nd ruck.

Well there you go, apologies I was at the game and for some reason thought he missed.

No worries. I actually just watched the highlights on YT and he kicked the goal to put us 16 points up in the 2nd with a young N. Jones getting the kick out of the centre. Feels like a lifetime ago:blink:

Remember one freakish soccer kick at the MCG by Sean Wight from 35 out. City end. Never saw it on video.

Others. Garry's torp in the Prelim vs Carlton.

Jakovich's scissor kick.

Farmer's at Waverley

Woey's vs Port Adelaide.

Jurrah's first at Docklands.

Neita's v McCabe/Hawthorn.

Trav's in the semi vs Adelaide

Todd Viney vs Sydney in Elimination Final.

Davey's volley vs Brisbane.

Awesome stuff guys.

I appreciate the responses, lots of goals I already had in the video, but quite a few have been added on the back of your suggestions, eg Lyon in 1988 Prelim

Keep the memories and suggestions coming

1992 against Hawthorn. Jako took a mark 50 metres out on a bad angle. Ran around the Hawk player on the mark - on the boundary line, mind you - and then slotted it through. To this day, I have never seen anything  like it.

That 4th quarter against Carton was the best quarter of football I've seen Melbourne play. Sat right in the pocket had the best view of it

Round 22 at the MCG. This goal will be in the video.

And the player he ran around on the mark, just an average defender by the name of Chris Langford.

If someone made a highlight reel of all the goals in this thread they would become the greatest demonlander in history 

It's on the way.

The one that sticks out for me was Brad Green taking a chest mark in the last quarter of a final v Carlton I think, in 00? It wasn't anything remarkable, it was just the context. These young guns were firing on all cylinders. Cam Bruce, Adem Yze etc. Just an avalanche of goals as we overran the opposition. It just seemed so unlikely that this young kid had come into the side and was beating his defender and kicking these pure straight goals. A very surreal experience that year with (Almost) everything clicking. 

Edit: FOund it!

Love all the memories and agree that there have been some beauties.

no one has mentioned Mark Jackson or Darren Bennet.Both were sometimes the only highlight in our season and kicked some amazing goals.

I'm surprised  Gerard Healy hasn't cracked a mention. I remember him kicking some absolute crackers. He was very good at running around the mark but also would rove off the pack or boundary throw ins in the FL.

I also have great memories of Neitz. Especially for big bombs from outside 50 that would sail through at half post height.

My most memorable goal was Lyon out at Waverley in the 88 Elimination final vs West Coast. With about a minute to go, he picked up a hard ball from the deck, spun and kicked one from about 30m out and the ball went about 80m up. This put us 3 pts up, and the crowd we're going mental. Half the crowd were celebrating so hard that they failed to notice Wrenstead from WC running towards goal from the next centre bounce, only to miss his shot for a point. Siren goes, we win by 2 pts. I was knackered from all the emotions. That Lyon goal was a beauty, though, escpecially in the context of the game.

Jack Watts 2017 Queens Birthday.

A new favourite...

Got me thinking:

Ricky Jackson snap to put us in front vs Footscray 1987 Round 22
Robbo left foot snap vs Essendon in the last round that put us into the finals in 2005

We lost the game but Peter Vardy and Adem Yze put through two running tight angle goals (both on the left I think) in the 2nd quarter of that psychotic final vs Adelaide in 2002

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
