Watched this last night put me in a better mood. It really shows a contrast in how the game is played between "generations" take me back to the games in the early 2000's any day of the week rather than the circus which is the modern AFL. 

 

Wouldn't Sam Weiderman like that type of delivery to him.  Nearly all those goals was from an elite kick to a leading forward, our current crop of players would have missed him.

Neitz was a match winner and our last star we have had

Miss the Daniher years now. They were a rollercoaster but gave us some great footy and some hope. I'd take finals every second year with a grand final appearance over being cellar dwellers every year!

That video shows the exact two types of player we are lacking. The two biggest holes on our list - a quality tall forward and a quality kicker in the midfield.

Yze - a classy midfielder with good kicking skills who accurately hits up leading forwards.

Neitz - a strong marking target with confidence who takes the responsibility of the set shot and kick goals consistently.


What is this rubbish? A full forward leading into space and his team mates honouring the lead with precise delivery? Bah, it'll never catch on.

Yze wasn't the only one.  Brad Green could hit those targets as well, and Trapper Johnstone wasn't a slouch at it either.

We had a really good mix in that side that year.  I loved the addition of Peter Vardy to that forward line but he just couldn't keep himself fit for long enough to have a consistent impact.  I've always wondered how much further we could have gone that season had Farmer stayed.

Well, you can forgive such behaviour ... they didn't play to systems in those days.

I saw the craziest thing ... a forward being held off the ball by his opponent and getting a free kick. Like watching Huddo kick a flat punt ... so quaint and old fashioned.

Those guys must have had so many learnings to do after a display like that.

watching this made me wonder this hypothetical.

If you could put one ex-demon from the last 20 years into this current MFC team - who would you chose?

Neitz would be a very popular pick but we'd still need to address that outside mid!

Neitz or Yze/Johnstone.

Tall forward or a capable outside mid with elite kicking skills.

Neita simply to fill our massive leadership void.


Wow. I was there that day. Kouta was wearing a huge Caliper on his leg. 
Spent the day giving Carlscum Supporters a hard time, they knew they were despised. 
 

great day

Oh what a beautiful day this was! Led well, marked everything and his set shooting was at its peak. Was in Level 4 at the La Trobe end, I think Robbo took a screamer down that end from memory? Bliss.

Awesome game from Neitz.  I prefer his other 9 goal bag though,  it was a Friday night at the MCG vs the Tigers in round 2 and if I recall he didn't kick a goal in Round 1 and certainly made amends.

Yeah that’s when footy was great. You forget how good the skills were on Yze. 


Midfielder - I'd take Yze Or Trav Johnstone. Football perfection watching them kick. 

Power Forward - I'd take the Ox. I know his knees let him down, but talk about someone to take a match by the scruff of the neck and rag-dolling the carp out of his opponents. 

And because I'm really annoyed at everything Melbourne just at the moment, I'll take Ray Biffin and Rodney Grinter to dish out some pain to anyone who gets too close, with special regard for Essendon and Collingwood.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
