Had some fun editing this one!

Some call it an urban legend, others claim to have witnessed the phenomenon in person (myself included), but back in Round 7, 2008, Melbourne claimed the most unlikely of victories against Fremantle. After trailing by a match high 51 points towards the end of the second quarter, Melbourne kicked 14 of the next 18 goals to record a 6 point win.

Check out all 17 goals kicked by Melbourne during what was a most eventful afternoon at the G!

    Classic!

    Despite there only being 20,000 at the G, I don't think I've heard a roar as loud as when Wonna kicked his fourth to give us the lead. Bruce's call of the moment never fails to give me chills.

    Me, too. With a diehard MCC mate, who happily joined me high in the Southern Stand for that second half. Funny; my memory is of staring into the sun, but it seems quite dull in the footage.

    Davey's goal: iconic. Wonna's 'frogs' - ditto. Moloney and McLean: Petracca and Oliver on their day (too few and far between). Miller: some ripper games (ditto). The song: rousing (ditto-ditto).

    Hard to believe this was only seven years ago. It feels like Clarry's been around for an eternity. Check out all of Clayton Oliver's best moments from his debut match in a tight opening round encounter against the Giants back in 2016.

    Nice start to the season that day! Watts and Hogan bringing us back in that last quarter.

    Remember the night Colin Garland was thrown forward by Mark Neeld and played a key role in Melbourne's first win of the 2012 Season?

    Check out all of Col's best moments from the match!

    From the National Film and Sound Archives, this is a film of life in Melbourne in 1966.

    The mighty Demons feature very early on in the piece.  Tuck in, nostalgia lovers!

    I watched this recently! Some really great footage from back then.

    These ones are a little bit deeper in the vault but I love the history of the game (and club) and I hope some others might find it as interesting as I do.

    This is a replay of the final quarter of our win over the Pies at Vic Park in 1968.

    This is a classic game from 1989 - 4 rounds after being smashed by Geelong by 69 points at a mud packed MCG where we kicked 2.8.20 for the whole game we beat them by 3 points at Waverley! Check out some of the efforts of Garry Lyon in the last quarter and a bit including a monster torp goal to the right of screen reminiscent of his one against the Blues in the 88 Prelim.

    Was watching Fox Footy top 100 games last night

    Saw a Fitzroy game and some dude was wearing long pants?? Now that was strange

    Any body have info?

    I'm guessing it was Michael Reeves.  He wore the long shorts/short longs to cover padding on his legs.

    Yep. Michael Reeves was a haemophiliac so the slightest knock resulted in massive bruising.  Hence the extensive padding as a simple corkie could see him missing a number of games

    still managed 64 games (fitzroy and north)

    an interesting snippet where the dipper nailed him (how unusual)

    Quote

    Used mostly as a defender and in the ruck by Fitzroy, Reeves played 15 games in 1984, including an elimination final.[2] He played finals again in 1986, an elimination final and preliminary final.[2] The preliminary final was on the same day Reeves was due to get married, he had booked it not thinking they would get that far, with Fitzroy having finished fourth last the previous year.[3] Fitzroy lost the preliminary final to Hawthorn and Reeves had to be taken off the field on a stretcher when he was knocked to the ground by Robert DiPierdomenico.[4] He still made it to the wedding.[3]

    Debuting just a few weeks after Clarry, was this guy.

    Fair to say they've become a decent midfield pairing since then...

    Then he accidentally punches Colin Sylvia in the face in the celebration of Yze's goal.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
