and Ross Dillon was numer 24 - 24 and 26 our twin targets.

Was Peter Weekes No 25?

Three great 'recent' wins against the Dogs. '87 last round to get us into the finals, '94 final where Gazza kicked 10 and last night.

Not sure if anyone has posted this:

Do you have any special friends, family who did not make it to this day?  I went to the footy with Ray from Springvale Under 12s onwards for years. We re- connected many years later when Ray developed an illness and sadly passed away. He was a demon FANATIC, and is survived by his two sons and daughter. Go RAY, Go DEES!

What are others' memories of that week?

Melbourne colours on tons of kids at school, like Hawthorn now.

Alf Browne tipping the Dees

Full of confidence, having thrashed the Pies in the second semi.

Looking forward to Saturday with the invincible confidence of youth!

Going to the final training session at the G.

I've been reluctant to post this, but if not now, then when?

 

Everyone knows how much a win means to all of us.

Go Dees.

From Fridays Age: 

In support of your argument would probably be all the Dees who retired early or went to other clubs. Bromell, Barassi, Roet, Mithen, Bob Johnson, Hassa Mann off the top of my head.

Recruiting zones were changed which doomed the dees. Whoever was coach didn't matter.

The AFL should consider scheduling a bye before counting Round 23 votes.

For me it means re-claiming part of my childhood. It would also mean MFC returning to its rightful place as a leading club. Success breeds success, and a win may usher in years of enjoying the Dees as a power club.

Tomorrow 3.00pm ABC radio will be doing a replay of the '64 Grand final.

If you have GF Gaurantee it will be priority one and the same barcode that's on your membership card

There was a message to members from Gary Pert yesterday so scroll down where info is given about using your barcode and purchasing tickets.

But if you're buying multiple tickets per membership how would they know?

I think you can buy ONE ticket per membership, multiple tickets (up to 8) with multiple barcodes. That's what I thought Pert's letter meant.

Max Gawn wants this more badly than anyone.....he is just a weapon atm....just ferocious.

One of the greatest ever Melbourne captains

He has the Barassi-esque will to power, I have no doubt.

Excellent first half.

Gawn robbed of a free kick before Smith kicked that goal.

Lost a bit of composure in the forward 50 at the end, need to be taking out chances.

That Fritsch miss was a bad one.

Clearances and conversion still the key.

Hawkins also missed a gimme. It happens.

Quite a good angle on that. 

Worst game/memory was our loss to Hawks in the '87 prelim, a game we're we choked. Bailey Yeats Jackson Eisghold from memory missed gettable shots. 

Most amazing win/s have to be v North and v South in the '87 finals with an amazing pro-melbourne crowd on each occasion. Special mention v Geelong last round and the Gawn goal.

And round the corner from my place:

"At the end of the day some you win some you don't but I'm glad that I'm here in the premiership window oh we'll all smile if we bring the cup home ...with A. Cerra A Cerra A Cerra."

(Apologies, Justice Crew).

Got my bro, sister and families in Perth they will mop up on my 4 x membership. I also have grand final access ticket so will probably have to raffle that to pay for my next year's membership.

No that was a short segment, now all over YouTube but I had definitely not seen it until the 1980s. The full replay apparently does not exist. From 58 seconds
