Enjoy the trip down memory lane. 

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!

The tape is somewhere burried in my parent's shed great memories "Farmer what a mark"

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 

I still own this on DVD.... just need buy a DVD player.

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

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.

Likewise...

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

Do they still make DVDs?

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.

I'll get it downloaded directly into my hippocampus. 

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.

Somewhere over the rainbow.

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

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

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 ?

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