Best games ever on FoxFooty

Recommended Posts

Have a look at the BGE on FoxFooty, for some unknown reason the Melbourne football club are never in these games. Pretty sure we’ve been in some brilliant games, ‘21 final series, ‘18 final series plus plenty more. As is usual the football media never give us anything unless it’s to denigrate us, they only like to sink the boots into the Demons, that’s it!

2002 SF Dees vs Crows was the craziest game I've seen. Huge momentum swings.
We lose, but it was a classic that everyone has forgotten.

That was the night Travis Johnstone played one of the best games I’ve ever seen.

Was that the night Modra nailed us in the second half?

There seems to be no intention of Fox replaying any u18 championship games. Every avid footy fan is interested in who their club will pick in 17 days, but all we see on Fox Footy are repeat upon repeat of AFLW games and/or the same 'classic' games ad nauseam.

They broadcast the u18 games live so they have them to show.  It's just lazy broadcasting. I contacted Fox weeks back to suggest they show them and was told my suggestion would be passed on. 

Yeah, sure.

No. Mark Stevens kicked 4 or 5 goals for the crows in this game from memory.
We were 7 goals down at quarter time. Then we had a 28 point lead in the 3rd quarter, it was a 70 odd point turn around in 2 quarters.We ended up losing by 12 points.

I do remember Modra kicking 10 against us at the G when he was at Freo though.

I was at that match. And yes, Travis played a blinder.

 One of the most disappointing games I've seen.
Still carry the scars.

Looking forward to watching the obligatory Melbourne V North classic in 1996. 

The one where North fell over the line…by 106 points.

87's better.

Modra kicked 10 against us at the MCG in 1999 I believe.

Can still remember walking back to the car with my dad, holding his hand and crying my eyes out. I was 29 years old.

There was no concept of Locking down an opponent

I think he spent most of the first quater on the bench and was cooked by the last but inbetween it was the most sublime individual performace you will ever see

The 2002 Dees/Crows final was certainly a game for the ages, but has never been on Fox Footy’s classic catalogue.

Interestingly one of the most boring games of the AFL era between Geelong (33) V North (53) in pouring rain back in 2001 makes the annual “Fox Footy classic games” each year.

Not to mention the North V Melbourne game in 1996 that gets shown every year when North flogged us by 18 goals, but yet is still considered a “Fox Classic”

I will unfortunately never be able to forget this game, but I have no memory at all of Mark Stevens.

An Adelaide player named Goodwin had 25 disposals with two goals.  I wonder whatever became of him.

I would have a guess it's to do with the number of fans who will watch.

The so called big clubs would be well represented at another guess.

I think he went on to coach a team dwindling away at the bottom for 50 years that almost megered into irrelevance and got accused of underacheiving because the list he helped click were after that percieved to be too talented not to win 3 in a row

Adelaide semi-final was a great match to watch but, for mine, can't go past the Merger-Match final Round 1996 against Hawthorn.

Hawthorn needs to win to make the finals.
Both sets of fans turn up for possibly the last time.
Dunstall kicks 100.
Neitz almost dragging the Dees across the line.
1 point margin.
Leaving The G for what many believed was the last time.
 

This game used to make the media's lists of greatest games, but seems to have dropped of the radar in recent years.

I was there too. 

IIRC Ricciouto was sent forward in the last and it was he and a 50m+ bomb from Bryan Beinke (FFS),  that sunk us. 

Neita oustanding that night & Robbo took some great marks but finished with 0.4, what might have been! 

The stats are incredible. We only had 220 disposals for the match, scoring 118 points.

It's a completely different game now.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
