Sadly for us the 87 prelim is definitely a top 50.ย  It was an outstanding game of finals footy and it is rare that a team can lead an entire game and still not be the winner. A genuine last man standing affair and I'll make sure I'm not watching when it gets replayed.ย  Once was enough and I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Best match Iโ€™ve ever attended was the โ€˜Merger Matchโ€™ against Hawthorn Round 22 1996.

Hawthorn by a point, Dunstall kicks 10 (including 100th), Neitz kick 6, Farmer 4.

Hawthorn neededย a win to play finals, a Melbourne win could mean it was the last time either team played in the AFL. ย Incredibly vocal, passionate and emotional crowd.

ย 

Last round 1987 vs Footscray - symbolised that crazy last round. What more could you want?

Sounds strange to say but one of my all time favorite games was round 9;1971. We beat St Kilda, ย who were runners up that year ,ย ย by 3 points to go 8-1 in the season. It was my first year barracking ( 11) and I was crazily waving myย crepe paper flogger . I Sat with my friend 2nd story up behind the goals leaning over the railingsย and, ย in our rocking and shoutingย ย etc,ย ย ย I remember the people behind us were worried we were going to fall off!ย 
I was strangely disappointed this game didnโ€™t make it to the top 100.ย ย Wells, Parke, Hardeman, Alves , Keenan , Barry Bourke , Biffen etc.ย ย Theย names of that era still remain my favorite even after all this time.ย 

The dees went on a big and gruelling pre season camp that year ( ahead of the times at that point) players took time off work and at the start of 71weย were fitter than everyone else. But critically and ย unfortunately only 22 or so went , or could afford to go ,ย on that camp . Mid season we got hit hard by injuries and, with poorย depth as well asย the new players coming into the teamย notย ย havingย ย the same conditioning base, ย we went from 8-1 to finish with only 3 wins from the next 13 games. Still, round 9 1971 sits high in my all time favorite game memories .ย 


I just watched a Saturday night replay of the round 7 1988 game Melbourne vs Hawthorn. Albeit a condensed version that game would crap on anything from the last 10 years. There were hardly any ballups around the ground and the skills on display were quite good. No chipping the ball around, no flooding, no scrums, great marks, great tackles, great goals, one on one play around the ground and players on their last legs in the last quarter.

Though we lost.
Have to agree.

His 100th goal turned the momentum, I was young but I definitely remember Hawthorn responded the better from it. I also remember the emotions coming from a lot of people, as I said I was young so I don't think I fully understood what was happening but I could feel it for sure.

Best Melbourne games I can remember areย the 2000 Carlton prelim final and the 2002 Adelaide final (which I still have trouble figuring out how we lost).

EDIT I just had a quick flick through the youtube video turns out our boys came back a bit after it! Ah the memories of a 10 year old back then!ย ?

Not surprised we didnโ€™t feature in the top 50 games.

Over the off seasonย , Fox Footy showed loads and loads of classic gamesย for a good 4-5 months butย didnโ€™t even show one Melbourne win. One of theย two featured Melbourne games they showedย included a 106 point to loss to North in the mid 90โ€™s.

Even GC and Fitzroy wins were shown, the latter of whom isย dead!

If we're honest, it was very kind of them not to include 186 - the win in league history where footage is available.

I take it they only put on games they have four quarters of, and that's why Round 22, 1987 doesn't make it and the whole thing is tilted massively towards the 2000s. It would be interesting to see a similar list with all games of the last 50 years regardless of whether there's four quarters of vision available.

I have a full copy of round 22 1987 - granted it's not broadcast quality but still, it exists ?

You should preserve it appropriately, some Channel 7 goose probably threw the master tape in the bin.

Will definitely upload to YouTube one day when I get around to converting it

Would love to blame it on channel 7 but the ABC had the rights that year. I have a feeling the copy I have was recorded by someone from country/interstate where they broadcast the entire game as it was only the 2nd half shown in Melbourne

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.
