I watched that thinking geez we had some serious talent in our side back then. Then I saw Simon Eishold at the end. 

I was behind the goals at the outer end and it felt like the last 5 minutes of that game was played in that forward pocket, right next to the point post. That was a season where we won a lot of close ones I think. The running joke was that we never felt comfortable as supporters until there was less than a kick in it. 

I used to love going to all of the away suburban grounds but gee Moorabbin was an absolute pig sty of a place.

    Jakovich!!

    I really miss these suburban grounds even if they were pigsty's. I was only a kid back then but it really did feel like entering enemy territory and gave some variety and a different experience week to week. MCG, Waverley, Windy Hill, Princes Park, Vic Park, Moorabbin, Western Oval. Great memories.

    I think that was my last trip to Moorabbin, how sweet

    If only Allen had kicked 100. Special moments in that 4 years

    Ah sweet memories.  First time we I went with mates to the footy was at Moorabin. I was 15 or 16 & we got someone to buy us beer.

    I recall Max Walker in the ruck & Graham Osborne playing well.

    Yes he was mature age when he came to the dees, but to think he was only 23 years old during this season, playing with the tricks of a wiley old veteran and doing it his way. Absolute freak.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
