Remember that game. It was almost laughable. Even the Fitzroy supporters were [censored].

And yet the boys banged home 21 goals the following week to beat Essendon who were good that year.

Was this a '186' style protest? Did another Brent Moloney play ill and get subbed out at half time with 0 possessions?

Did the coach get sacked?

Did Demonland go into meltdown that night?

Feel sorry for those that made the trek down to Waverley that afternoon.


I was there.  We sat through it and were stunned in silence at the end. The white flag had gone up.  

The next week we came out and beat the Bombers in a huge upset.  

The Melbourne score that day is similar to scores this year. I assume that means we were playing 16 minute quarters while Fitzroy played the full 31 minutes and 10 seconds of Q4 and the equivalent in the other three quarters.

Thanks for the reminder Demon Head. Great positive way to start the day!

 

I was actually at this game, and 186 lost at Geelong.  After this game a number of Essendon supporters gave me a hard time. I gave them a hard time the following week.

We didnt see it coming.

 

Plenty of learnings from it though.

 

We had a chance to bounce back the following week and took it.

:jakovich:

 

Nope. Don't recall that happening......?


The umpires didn't give us a thing all day

This one would be burned on your brain @Redleg?

Still gives me nightmares.

It actually nearly doubled when you looked at the Casey game, played as a curtain raiser, where we lost by 20 goals.

From memory it was something like a 50 goal loss over the day.

Edited by Redleg

Didn’t do them any good in the long run considering they no longer exist. They were a club that operated on a shoestring but consistently punched above their weight. 

Where's Fitzroy now?!

They won the battle, we won the war..?

 

You poor bastards that lived through that, must have been torture.

I admire the old Demon guard, have been through alot of pain.

And the bombers paid for their footy trips for the next 3 years.

But to be fair, we didn't play Waverley that we'll. ?

Agreed.

It the game was at the MCG or Junction Oval we may have shaved 30 goals off the margin.

  • 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.

    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

    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.
