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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
