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!

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

      It’s Game Day and the Demons return to the scene of the crime to take on the wooden spooners.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
