It was Melbourne’s first final in 23 years and the Demons came across the Kangaroos in the 1987 Elimination Final.

 


 

What a slaughter!

    I was there 15 years of age, our first final in my life time. Still can remember the roar that day.

    Vineys opening goal is still a great memory 34 years later

    Did we go in favourites and expected win?

    North weren’t exactly a mug team that year and lost a game the week before to the premiers after the siren.

    From memory we weren’t favourites although we’d come off winning 5 or 6 in a row to get there .

    The last round was pretty intense and I may be mistaken but I think the Hawks, Swans and North games were all close with those 3 fighting out for a double chance along with Carlton

    One of the best days I've had at the footy 

    The sound of the crowd and spirit that team played sent shivers up your spine 

    Something very special about MFC and finals footy at the MCG

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      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.
