Great memories, was there behind the goals with my niece, it was her first game live I think. What a game! 

Last game before I headed off to London for a year, my profile pic is from said game. I was with a Collingwood mate and Saints lass who were heaping it on us.... I really enjoyed the outcome!!!

Wonna, Jimmy with Wonna old man, kick on the ground after the game. Fantastic day.

 

We had some decent players in that line up. Poor to only win 3 games that year.

Was living in Fremantle for this match- was a great day!  That, and the win against the Lions were epic!


I was there with the Mrs and kids. At half time I wanted to go home (yeah, I know - soft!), but the kids made me stay because it was one of the first games when they allowed kick-to-kick on the G after the game and they wanted to do that.

So glad we stayed, it was an unbelievable comeback!

 

Great memory and 30 minutes well spent watching the last quarter again, made even better when they panned to poor old Harvey in the Freo box late in the last and there’s one of the Scott brothers staring blankly.

"Melbourne in the first half were like one of those nervous African dictators. They always took a different route home. Now they're kicking goals."

What a gem from DC.

Always loved watching Wonaeamirri play.  Such a tallent, it's a pitty he didn't have a longer career with us. 

Don't know if he's still playing for the NT Thunder in the NEAFL or not, but saw him playing against Southport a few years back before a demolition job we did later on the Suns.  Bought back fond memories.

Still plays up north, and my word he has been in a good paddock.

Went to that game and sat behind the goals with a Pies supporting mate (really it’s his only personality fault). 

When Wonna kicked that goal we were both up out of our seat cheering like madmen - that’s how electrifying that moment was. 

That game was a moment of light in some dark times. 

My father, a 70 year Melbourne supporter, was supposed to have a table in the dining room with his mates that day. Unfortunately he passed away unexpectedly and our family and his friends ended up with a couple of extra tables having a fairly emotional lunch. 

At half time there were a number of black humour comments that he was ‘lucky’ that he wasn’t around to watch just how crap Melbourne were. And then the tide turned. What a roller coaster it was and, of course, we all thought they were playing for Dad and he was helping from above. 

Then we were able to have a kick on the G after the game and quietly spread half his ashes on the ground, CHF scoreboard end.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
