There was no one like Allen

one of his greatest was at Vic Park against The Filth in ‘92

Dragged in the first Quarter 

Comes back on and kicks 8 and we win

It was tough getting out of the ground alive

The Filth wanted to seriously kill that day, no security anywhere. 
it was worse at the Train Station….

 

Cost them the minor premiership and possibly the premiership too. Great day at the footy, the only time I went to Vic Park for a real game (saw a praccy there once).

    It was my last visit to that Dung Heap. 
    The Ox had the ponytail…

    Was that Vic Park game when Choppa and Sean Wight  goaled in time on to get up by 9 points?

    I have a memory of Daicos scoring the “winning goal” from the boundary pocket late in the game, and as the Filth supporters were having a collective orgasm, G. Lyon was instructed by the umpire to take the free kick for an infringement against him in the goal square. Magnificent. 

    Breakout game for the young Ox - his first 3 Brownlow votes game. Alan Richardson playing in the black shorts, and Jako had Pert moved off him after rebounding from the earlier dragging by Northey and finishing with 7.5 (10 marks, no handballs!). Magnificent.

    After 1994, the opportunity was lost. Jako was finished, and in the 1995 preseason Schwarz did his knee and Lyon did his back - I think it might even have been in the one training session😭

    94 was still the most talented list I've seen in my time.

    • 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.
