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

No thanks - I’d just about erased that shower of merde.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
