I'm already up to Round 4 when James McDonald kicked a ripper to put us in front, even though it looked as though it went over the post.

This is my favourite of the highlight videos.  If you've never seen it then stop what you're doing for the next few hours and indulge yourself.

    Probably my favorite year of footy personally. I also finished high school that year so there was also a personal highlight.

    I remember thinking that this was going to be the norm from now on. How wrong was I!

    1 of the greatest years ever, still remember smashing the crows on the 1st final, how did they win the flag again, I bet they were glad they didn’t come up against us again

    That season had it some amazing stuff.

    The much hyped arrival of Jeff White from Freo and the excitement of watching a 20 year old athletic beast jump all over his opponents

    The return of Garry Lyon from all the back issues

    Neale Danihers first season as coach

     The Wiz rising to star level and electrifying the league

    Jim Stynes final season playing great footy and also teacher to apprentice White

    A great finals series where we were unfortunately shafted due to the broken Final 8 system

    Well 97/98 was the norm for the next two years. 99 down, 2000 back up again :laugh:

    One of my favourite memories. I'd never seen us beat Carlton at Princes Park. Was sitting behind the goals. 

    Also Junior missed that goal. 100%. I remember my dad smacking the footy record on his leg because he missed. And everyone else thought he did.

    I was going to have an early night last night but once I started watching this I could not stop. Bought  back so many memories.

    Thanks so much for sharing this. Loved it.

    20 years later and hopefully we will get a DVD for this season, after going 1 game further than 98'.

    Ripper season. We would have gone all the way had neil balme stayed on as coach. Great man. Loved him some pies, too. That's why we always beat collingwood with him at the helm - because he ate pies for breakfast. (And had his players do the same - Brett Lovett, David Scwarz). This year is our year for sure. And a Brownlow on the way for big stinky Max. Not confident in front of goal, but confident enough not to wipe when he's had a clean break. Hulk Jesse the Body Ventura Hogan To kick a bag of 10 against those hapless Bulldogs this week. Another 100-point win on the way to make up for all those hundred point losses. Would love to see Neil Balme involved with the club again. The man can sure eat a pie. He ate mine - bless him. Go Dees.

    If they weigh a whale at a whale weigh station, where do they weigh a pie?

    Was a great year and was the best Melbourne team I've seen in my time!

    There was a perfect mix of age, experience, youth and enthusiasm.

    Did not expect 2 hours and 28 minutes!

    Might have to watch this in chunks, my gen y attention span only lasts 4 minutes or so.

    I can't believe this came out on DVD and I didn't buy it. Have been pining to see it again since losing the VHS 10+ years ago.

    I never had this one thanks for sharing! I've watched Demon Attack 94 and Dynamic Demons 2000 a tonne of times though

  • Quote

    Great memories here ! had this and dynamic demons on vhs (pbly now somewhere in dads garage) ... 98 was my first season as an MFC member (was in year 10 so had one of those concession 18 memberships IIRC) so watched a lot of footy live that year 

    remember voice of the G and the half time PlayStation challenge , sitting on those old   wooden seats in the 56 Olympic stand cheering on the Ox and the wizard 

    we clicked and got momentum at the right time of year leading into finals , same in 2000. Funnily enough we copped a few smashings towards the mid season bye round and then came good and got on a run 

    great to think we might finally now be getting  back to September again ?

    Cage Match. Winner takes all. Or you could just get married. 

    Looks like we have the first name so that would be awkward. I might change mine to Yzier.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
