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!

    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.

    That 2002 Semi Final against Adelaide was the most incredible game i can remember.

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

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
