    Danny Seow only kicked two goals in his seven games for Melbourne and they're both in that first clip!

    Up until Peter Bell he was the greatest Asian footballer of all time.

    (Sam Pang rated himself top 5 )

    I loved the Mullet era.

    Ricky Jackson,Stinga, Grinter ,Sugar,Lyon,Stynes,Newport,Strawbs,TC ,Stretchmarks,Lovett etc .

    What a great team.

    Steve Tingay came on and with his first kick won the game. What a start to a marvelous career.

    I noticed how often the ball was kicked long into attack and came back out just as fast. Nothing has changed in over 30 years.

    Very special game for me. 

    A very ordinary game saved by first gamer Tingays winning goal. 

    Like many, I became a Melbourne supporter as a direct result of being taken to games by my Dad. 

    By the time this game came around my Dad was failing in health. I remember the difficulty of getting him from the car in Yarra Park to the ground. Stopping every few metres to catch his breath. 

    But we won the game. I knew at that time that Dad was probably not going to get to another one.

    It was emotional and it was to be my Dads last game. 

    I carry his spirit with me to every game.

    After the massive disappointment of the previous year's Grand Final let down, enthusiasm still resided within, all be it deep and almost dormant.

    Got there just before the start of the game and unwisely decided to forego the purchase of a Season's ticket. (Although ultimately it was to prove was another disappointing season finale).

    Don't remember much about the game itself, although Richard Osborne was clearly a threat, but do recall the No. 52, Stephen Tingay's very first kick in league footy. A tremendous snap from a fair distance out, that sailed high through the goal posts for the winner. The excitement in the old Southern Stand standing room area was palpable. Possibly reminiscent of the effect engendered by Kossie Pickett's "X" factor performance last weekend.

    Of course Stephen Tingay went on to establish himself as a great warrior for the MFC and a fan favourite. Although his MFC career was markedly effected by footy's and life's vicissitudes.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
