All I remember is looking down on Gabelich running past me in the the Northern Stand and feeling sick and someone ( Crompton) putting the world back on its axis 

Also Dickos kicking, and I can recognise Bluey before the commentator calls him.

Even worse goal kicking than today but no one seems to mind.

Great names there and none of us knew the Tigers were about to invade our home ground......advantage

    I was there that day.  I love the way the players bounced the ball about every five metres. And the terrible kicking styles.

    On behalf of Dicko ..I am insulted by your kicking observation( he got a bit of the ball too)[ smile]

    I remember John Lord as a bit of a duffer..I guess that was closer to his retirement and when I was a bit older.

    Bluey ripping off out of defence on the outer side brought back memories.

    Note to fans ..I wore number 6 on my jumper until I was about 15  then I stored  it away to memory. 

    If you are 30  + years old don't embarrass yourself

    I wore nos 8.  Sat in the front row, top deck old Olympic stand up against the MCC fence.  All I can really remember is jumping up with relief when the siren went.

    Behind the goals watching Crompton's kick sail towards me. What a sight.

    Memory and last quarter jitters...I remember Gabelich 's wobbly run down the forward line being longer but I do remember 3 Dee's chasing him down...too late.

    Maybe that was why Norm was so angry at Crompton..

    Does anyone know why there where 3 circles across the centreline of the ground?

    They would change the circle being used to keep the game day one in top nick.

    Poor drainage in those days.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
