    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


Greatest / most memorable MFC goals ever


Ash35

Recommended Posts

Need help / suggestions.

Trying to put together some football highlight videos for Youtube.

One of them will be the top 40 MFC goals ever, maybe even a top 50.

I have got a collection together but I don't want to miss any really memorable goals.

So need suggestions, just to make sure I haven't missed any.

Any player, any era.

To maybe help narrow down suggestions, I already have the obvious ones, eg Farmer GOTY 1998, the Liam Jurrah sitting on his butt snap against Freo 2009. Woewodin vs Port 1998, Oliver 3 weeks ago in Adelaide.

I won't list them all, but happy for you guys to throw any suggestion out there.

Wonnameri in the goalsquare against Freo at the MCG, putting the Dees in front after trailing by 50 points.  I was at that game. 

Gary Lyon kicked a 70m torp in the early 90's (I think).

Travis Johnstone, 2nd semi-final in Adelaide v Crows, streaming down the boundary on forwqrd flank, goaled from 50m.

Off the top of my head:

Flash's running goal and Yze's boundary goal from the comeback against Freo in 08

Schwarz's baulk in the 94 finals

The goal kicked in the 04 demolition of the Blues in 04 (Davey or Bruce?) after two blues ran into each other

Neita's goal against the Hawks in 02 after flattening McCabe

Jakovich's scissor goal from 91

Leoncelli's winning goal against the Crows in 01

Farmer's big goal from the goalsquare in the Semi against the Saints in 98

Two candidates. Saw both. Incomparable.

Hassa Mann's goal from the boundary at Glenferrie Oval to secure top position in 1964 finals.

Neil "Froggy" Crompton's goal in the last minutes of the 1964 Grand Final. Our last premiership.

Nothing else comes close except for Robbie's last goal against Sydney in the semi finals in 1987.

From memory, 1989 Princess Park in the mud v Hawks - GF replay. Kicked from 55m-58m mark, sailed through. Heavy track. I think just before or on qtr time siren.

No. 1 has to be Froggy's goal to win the 64 Granny.

My favourite, and I was 2 at the time and not even there, was Brian Wilson's running goal that was the sealer in Rnd 22, 1987. "Cover yourself in glory". 

Gazza kicked a torp from the centre square in the 88 prelim against Carlton. 

The wiz would have 30 out of 50.

There's also the massive torp he kicked from inside the centre square at Waverley against Carlton in the '88 Prelim (last passage on this clip), and this beauty against Fremantle at the 'G, also from inside the centre square. 

Others worth a mention: Lyon again, kicking the winner against West Coast in the '88 Elimination (end of this clip), and Todd Viney from the boundary line in the opening seconds of the '87 Elimination. 

Also like this one from Schwarz. 

But the goal from Robbie at the 1.50 mark of this video is one of the best I've ever seen from an MFC player.

Also 1988 prelim vs Carlton kicked one from the centre square at Waverley

Garry Lyon 88 Elimination Final vs WCE to pinch the game is another 

Edit - just saw the above posts

Was against the blues IIRC.

Wet day with a muddy ball.

Then he slotted one from the centre square with a new ball.

I can't remember the full set of circumstances but Travis Johnstone kicked an absolute beauty against Adelaide in the 2002 finals.

Aaron Davey selling some candy twice to Freo and nailing it from outside 50 in our massive come from behind win at the G is another.

Was definitely against the Hawks on a bogheap at Princes Park, Queens Bday 1989. I was at that game sitting up the top of the stands with my dad and I've got the game on DVD.

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
