Doug Reemer 1,208 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Just watched the highlights of the RD13 game v Essendon in 2014. I was working on that game and can remember being in disbelief when I realised we could win. But for me personally. The 2016 Hawthorn win. When Stretch jams that bullet through the middle in the last! 3 Quote

4_Kent_Watts 898 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 1994 Round 24 vs Sydney. Had to win to get into the Finals and knock Richmond out. Schwarz kicked 9 from everywhere on the ground, was the first name a game video I got and myself and then my Old Man wore the video out. Ahhh the 90's. 1 1 Quote
BDA 23,048 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Finals aside the Jack Watts Queens birthday game is a big highlight. In terms of turning a corner (it seemed at the time) the Gold Coast game Round 1 2015 was a real lift. We beat up a fancied Suns team and played some really good footy. And I remember we scored our first coast to coast in I don’t know how long. I was in disbelief when Dom Tyson slotted it. The first really enjoyable Saturday afternoon I had spent at the G in ages. 5 Quote
WERRIDEE 5,638 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 The 2000 final v Carlton where Green and Bruce tore them apart is my favorite. 6 Quote
DemonWorshipper 304 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 When I still had my VCR working, it was the 1998 final round vs Richmond. Melbourne could go top 4 with a win (after finishing last in 1997), Tiges needed to win to make the finals. Farmer's mark in the opening minutes and then a clinical dismantling of Richmond over 4 quarters. 7 Quote
dl4e 5,851 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Final quarter against essenscum at windy hill in the 90s. Bennet tore them apart in the last quarter. 5 1 Quote
Bring-Back-Powell 15,555 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 The 2005 and 2015 wins at Kardina Park. Looking forward to our next win down there in 4 years. Quote

This was mine for years until the VCR finally tore up the tape. Now i go to the Melbourne Geelong Elimination Final and if i just need a quick lift I just search for Hannan running in for the sealing goal 1 Quote

The backend from the games we beat West Coast at Subiaco, this Richmond game, then the finals smashing Adelaide, St Kilda only to fall to North in the prelim. Some of the most exciting free flowing football that you will every see 3 Quote

Dee Zephyr 19,320 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) There’s a few wins in the last 30 years that stand out and I revisit, but I’d have to say the last quarter of the qualifying final against Carlton in 2000 gave me the biggest buzz at a game that I can remember. For individual brilliance, Wiz’s 9 goal second half blitz against the Pies also in 2000 has the most views here I’d say. Edited February 19, 2021 by Dee Zephyr 2 Quote

When Stretch jams that bullet through the middle in the last! Have to agree. The last quarter against Hawthorn in 2016 was a coming of age sort of quarter for us. We'd gone from losing to Essendon by 147 points and going nowhere as a club to beating the 3 time reigning premiers three years later. We also came close to them in the earlier game that year. Watts and Tyson kicked some fantastic goals late in that game as well as Stretch. 2 Quote
gs77 4,616 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Jakovich's 11.8 against North in 1991 against the asbestos-laden old Southern Stand demolition site. Knocking Geelong off at Kardinia Park under Roos. Killing off the Hawks' winning streak the year after their 3rd consecutive flag. First quarter of elimination final in 2018 against the Cats. Knocking the Pies off at Vic Park in 1991ish. 2000 Qualifying Final vs Carlton. Edited February 19, 2021 by gs77 Typo Quote

maximum bob 462 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Round 1 2005 Melbourne v Essendon at the G. This was the Troy Broadbridge memorial match and it's the only match day DVD I've ever bought. Still chokes me up as it did when I saw the match in the flesh. If you've got a spare hour or two, it's on You tube. And we won convincingly. (Pretty bloody good team we had btw when you see them walk out). 2 Quote
nosoupforme 3,085 Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 What beats the Melbourne V Bulldogs at the Western Oval when we needed to beat them and Hawthorn needed to beat Geelong for us to make the finals for the first time in 23 years. It was the final round. With 2 mins to go in our game and holding The Dogs just about every Dees supporter at the ground was glue and listening to the radios as the siren went at Kardinia p[ark and Hawthorn hung on to a 3 point win coming from behind thanks to Dunstall's winning goal. The Dees supporters at the ground all went ballistic while our game was still in progress it felt by the players of both clubs had stopped and thinking the siren had gone. However the Melbourne boys would have worked it out quickly l believe. Brings a tear to my eye, 1987. They did it for Robbie, 8 2 Quote
