Good memories. 

Woey against Geelong in 2000 where he gathers on al fours gets up and slots it from 40.

    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

    Mentioned it earlier, but does anyone else recall Koori Col Graham's massive torp at Moorabbin?

    mid 70s

    Woey vs Port in 1998?  Around 0:32 in.

    Robertson's right-angle bounce to get us into the finals in 2005.

    Jeff White's goal to get us over the Dogs the week before.

    Salem's goal to beat Essendon in 2014.

    Oliver this year.

    Jurrah off his back.

    Wonaeamirri to take the lead against Fremantle.

    1 that stands out for me is neitz on a Friday against geelong 2005 I think he marked 1 handed against Scarlett 50 outon boundary and went back and slotted it, crowd went berzerk as it was his 250th

    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

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

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    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

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
