    I have been watching this while exercising.

    what a great game. Even our lesser players going hard

    Stynes what a champion.  Jakovitch that mid air soccer goal. Could do no wrong.

    how-did we ever let Spaulding go?

    and I thought 32 Clarke played well  but I cannot remember him.

    91      I was going regularly to the second half of games but cannot remember him.

    what was his story?

    We recruited Clark from Essendon in 1990, but he only played two seasons with us despite looking like a decent player in my view.  His first year was wrecked by a knee injury and he only played three games, but came back to play 18 games in 1991.

    He was surprisingly delisted and then moved to St Kilda.  Sadly, Clark passed away in 2005.

    My memory is that he was on the ground with his leg tangled with that Essendon Daniher filth, who wrenched his knee deliberately.  Could not believe at the time he escaped a report.

     

    Would be piz funny if I was mistaken, but I can actually still recall the images.

    I finally got around to watching the game and reliving some of the fantastic memories of that era - Jim Stynes, Garry Lyon, Brett Lovett, the all round strength of the team up forward, down back and on the ball. We had fantastic marking strength, knew how to set up scoring and had plenty of players who could convert, not the least of who was Jako (and remember we had the Davids (Neitz and Schwarz) and Sean Charles all waiting in the wings. The opportunities were definitely there to snaffle a flag if things went right.

    This particular game was probably the most exhilarating home and away game I’ve ever experienced. Pity we didn’t get 10 years of Jako in that sort of form.

    I just love that he kicked a few out on the full and got reported.

    He literally did everything in that game and I remember watching it.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
