Remember Mooney dominating around the ground for them too.  Rocked up hoping we could emulate the miracle win at Kardinia Park that got us there, but the game looked over at quarter time. At least Robbo capped off his career year with 4.  Not much else to take from the game for Dees fans.

I think the Dees had spent their tickets getting to the finals in an epic run in.  We also lost Neita in the final round win over Essendon.

Yeah Mooney was incredible that day. 

Oh that’s right I just remembered something else, being right behind Davey’s shot from the goalsquare that hit the post.

    Much better to remember the saints game the following year.

    remember the G train running back to full forward during the third quarter. Got a great big roar, but didn’t get a near the pill for the rest of the game. 

    Go Dees  we will win   6 goals I think

     

    Loved it when he tried to run around Carrol and injured his ankle, lol.

    We limped over the line that year and were in some terrible form come September.  That was an issue we had in 04, 05 and 06; we were never peaking at the right time of year.

    This year however...

    I’ll never forget White getting kicked in the face. Devastating.

    Weve had some great ruckman across the journey, haven’t we?

    Really needs to be a thread. In my time, Stynes, White, Jolly/Jamar, Gawn...

    If that doesn't get demonlanders of that vintage excited, I don't know what will...

    O’dwyer is often forgotten now but he was a great one two combo with Stynes  87-90. Think he even won our b&f in our grand final year of 88 . He got suspended before the debacle v Hawks.

    Yeah too true, those three years from 2004-2006 we really fell apart at the end of each home and away season.

    2018 is more like  1998 and 2000 as far as form heading into the finals goes.. not the massive winning streaks, but we still head in with two huge scalps and in red hot form...  we also finished 14-8 in those two seasons, same as this season.

    Crap decision by the umpire. In the mele their were heaps of Carlton guy's swinging, as well as Melbourne, but the ump picked on "Strawbs" to settle it down. Peter Landy, commentating, was wetting himself. So worked up. He was really giving it against Strawbs knowing full well that Melbourne would play HIS TEAM, Hawthorn, the next week. Maybe the first "trial by media".

    I remember in 04 we were 1st after 18 rounds. Front page of the paper. First time we had been 1st that deep in the season since 1964. Boy were we being talked up!

    Then we lost to Port by 70 points and ended the season with 4 straight losses before losing to Essendon in the Elim by 5 points. Broadbridge's last game.

    I thought King was in the action of kicking and Whitey tried to smother, got the boot in his face as his arms were outstretched???

    No it was a ruck contest

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
