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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
