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...

      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.
