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

    It's all a bit of good natured humour...don't take it too seriously crew.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
