Is anyone getting the 1987 feeling right now? Granted there isn’t much at stake as there was then

She never said this side would beat the 1987 squad, just  thatthe situation is the same (waiting on result from another game).  Please take your meds Picket.

    Out: Melksham, Smith, and someone

    In: Jones, Harmes, LJ

    Put harmes in and send him straight to Kelly!

    Jones on HF has been good this year, just dont put him behind the ball or somewhere his pace can be exposed!

    Other option is Hore, who i think is a much better version than Smith, but 0 football for 18 months probably doesnt bode well for him.

    Jackson needs to come in,  if we were lucky enough to get through, Eagle backline is depleted, recon having Weid hold out a Key Def and Fritcsh take a Mcgovern out wide will allow LJ a run at it and Brown to work up the ground as an option, allowing Max to play his kick behind the play role.

     

    Unfortunately we have put ourselves in this position about making finals which is a shame, because if ever you want to play Eagles in a Perth final now is the time!

    When selecting for the finals we must be careful not to run Gawn into the ground as we will need him for all four matches.

    For this reason LJ must play.

    LJ needs to play, but got a Bye before finals Gawn would be fine!

    But you have to think about the following three matches and the travel plus the parade...the list goes on

    Gawn will definitely need help or he may be too tired to give a good speech as he lifts the cup

    I completely forgot about the parade and of course Trac's Brownlow celebrations.

    Think we are to tall without him though. Weid, LJ, Brown, Fritsch, Trac.  Means we onky have 1 small fwd.  Spargo's best is very good. But his worst is bad!  Kinda sounds familiar as a dees supporter.

    Jack Riewoldt just said on AW that Marty Hore is playing very well for the Tigers in a scratch match vs Brisbane. He'd be a handy in if we make it.

    Funny I mentioned it to my dad today and he said it actually reminds him of 1976. Obviously I’m too young to remember that year, but he said it all went down to another side winning. Ironically it was also Footscray then that ruined it for us. Only difference it was more likely we were going to qualify then.

    He even said he felt certain we were going to make it in 1976, but in 1987, he doubted we would. He only went to that game to farewell Robbie Flower.

    Anyone remembering 1976 and 1987 want to share their memories and feeling of those times?

    Not to mention Footscray was also who we had to beat to make it in 1987 ?

    Agreed, and let’s move forward, the suggestions to bring him back are crazy. On another note, I stumbled across an article that was about the person observed in your avatar, small world!

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
