Can't believe some of you still have games in your IQ from the start of the year! I can only ever seem to fit 3 or 4 at any one time.

1987 Elimination Final vs Nth Melb is the Go.

23 year finals drought broken a full MCG 70%+ MFC supporters.

Robbie flowers 1st final ever in his 270th game and he kicks a lazy 5 goals

Todd Viney, Warren Dean , Earl Spading's 1st year. Sean Wight repelling every attack 

Young Jimmy Styles looking like he barely know what he is doing but still kicking snags.

Ricky Jackson crumbing everything . 

And a lazy 118 ponit win , it's a melbourne love fest from the 1st bounce. and KB and Tim Lanes call is fantastic.

 

 

Tim Lane Commentary

”And the Demons have kicked 4 in 4 minutes” as the camera pans across the MCC Members which is rocking as hard as as i have ever seen it. 

I miss the old Smokers Stand, as much as i love the newer facilities which are first class

I've still got the VHS from that one and the Sydney game but I'm not sure how they'd play 31 years later.

1987 was different in that the VFL and the commercial TV stations had a falling out and the ABC stepped in at the very last minute.

Notice there were only two commentators and how much better that was!

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
