Strange that a 2 second rev up to a couple of the boys was enough to get us the win but the Saints couldn't use the emotion of Spud's game to come out firing.

    Sometimes the build up gets to you.

    Think the Jim Stynes round 1 against Brisbane 2012

    Not sure if anyone else here watches their (hilarious) podcast but it was definitely a light hearted joke.

    Gary cops a lot of crap from people but you can't deny his passion for the Dees. He is Melbourne through and through.

    I know this is off-topic but I was hoping someone could help me with this.

    Fox footy refer to Garry Lyon as a 5 time all-aus. However, looking at the All-Aus teams he seems to be mentioned only in 3 (93-95).

    Even in this front bar episode below at the 1:40 mark, Garry says he was 5 time All-Aus, but you can see Andy Maher hold up three fingers and look embarrassed.

    Could someone please explain?

    There was no official All Aust. teams in 1989 1nd 1990.

    Carnival AA teams ended in 1988,  and with foundation of the AFL from the VFL and state systems, resumed in 1991.

    Just imagine if Gazza didn't [censored] his back, The Ox didn't do his knee and A Jakovich didn't all apart.

    I bet we would have won a couple of flags in the mid to late 90's.

    Yeah I don't think the build up is what lost us that game. We were just an awful team.

    We sure were...nothing was going to inspire that team to a win.

    ...but your comment inspired an ironic laugh.

    In a parallel universe where we weren't smashed by injuries to our elite talent this was our 1996-2000 forward line

    HF      Lyon          Schwarz      Charles

    F       Farmer       Jakovich     Robertson

     

    With 1995 All Australian backman David Neitz holding the fort in the backline as the best CHB in the game.    

    Sure its unlikely we would have drafted Robertson with a forward line that good and he and Jako probably would have strangled each other....

    @ox_5 has answered your initial question. Now for the 'elephant in the room'...I'm not sure if that blouse Gary is wearing belongs to his first wife or to Billy's.

    Correct but there was still a team of the year?? chosen for those two years and is listed within the AFL media guide and website and are counted as making the AA team.

    G Lyon made The Big V side in 1989 and 1990 so i call that all Australian years.

    I hear you, but the Team of the Year concept is in no way an AA team when 18 of the players are Victorians and are playing in Victoria comp, sprinkled with several interstate recruits like kernahan. By that logic there are no other players in the Wafl Sanfl Tfl etc worthy of a guernsey which would most likely be implausible.

    So its a VFL Team of the Year. Still a great honour though.

      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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      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.
