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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
