1999 V's Hawthorn - A Friday night close call at the MCG. Recall Robbo thumping through a rushed behind to put us in front in the dying seconds. A rare highlight in one of Melbourne's most disappointing seasons in the AFL era considering our 1998 spectacular year.

 

 

The only VHS tape I have in a place that I can identify quickly is a taped version of this game.

Some other modern day 1 point wins to add to the collection:

 

2014 V's Essendon - Salem goal with 10 seconds left. A remarkable win over the much higher fancied Bombers.

2008 V's Brisbane - The game where Jimmy and Aussie W's Dad were celebrating together in the MCG stands. One of only 3 treasured wins for the season. Miller went nuts with 4 snags.

2005 v's Geelong - The greatest ever Kardinia park win if not for Max's goal in 2021. A 17 year hoodoo was broken after conceding a 6 goal deficit. Those who made the trip down were rewarded in spades.

 

Can confirm tears were shed in all these games. 

But I don’t think anything will ever top my truly psychotic outburst when Gawn kicked the goal in round 23 2021. 
 

Has anyone checked on the poor drinks runner who had her finger almost ripped off by Steven May….

Unfortunately, similar to TMac, Melksham has a recurring 3-4 week stint in the team where he peaks week 1, some nice things in week 2 then liability in weeks 3 - 4 then in the Magoos and so on and so forth. I love his good stuff. Not sure why he has petered off so quickly in he past. Hopefully the penny has dropped after 14 seasons.
