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!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
