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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
