  1. Waiting 57 years. Most of the second half I was a bit confused, almost disoriented - as in not the Melbourne I know. I felt sick in 3rd Q cos we couldnā€™t shoo the Dogs away. Feared it would go down to the wire and Hannan wouldā€¦ sometimes with the goals, it was like another universe - I was not sure if I was watching an instant replay or it was another goal. Watching alone and I think it was ANB goal 42 points, all the text messages started coming in. I didnā€™t believe it until 62 points. Dogga. This is Melbourne
  2. Max comes to bench, says ā€œleave Jacko in the ruckā€
  3. The majority of MCC members are not Melbourne supporters Melbourne would have most supporters. I wonder if Bulldog and supporters of other clubs are getting the couple of pro Demon emails from MCC?

    Consign all mention of 1964, black and white TV, Beatles, Bob Menzies, EH Holdens and shillings to history books. sure Sparrow and Bowey are across it. Their time is next decade. Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang.
  5. So the $80 registers with AFL as a member?
  6. Iā€™m full MCC but tick the box for extra MFC. Does this count as a member? used to pay for both FULL but it was no value
  7. Goal scoring blitzes and comparisons with older games eg 1972 GF are irrelevant I was there in sixties and seventies. No one knew about zone defence or patterns or any of those extra features. Coaches drill all their players today in manoeuvres and plays to stem the tide. Tsunami - no hope.
  8. I was at Vic Park that day with about 100 other Dees. Our last ever match there BTW. Only kicked 2 goals in last Q, both in time on. Chopper and Sean Wight. Won by 9 points. But if I had to take one goal to my grave - Vineyā€™s toe poke to Luke Jackson and running handball to Clarrie at full pace.

    Only concentrating on the positives and good vibes. After 57 years, I didnā€™t ā€œbelieveā€ until we were 62 points up

    Gotta be the theme for 2022 2023 2024 2025
  12. How many goals did Fritter get for the year IN THE END? Pretty sure it was one more than Coleman Medal winner McKay couldnt be bothered looking up Tomahawkā€™s finals campaign šŸ¤®
  13. Bang Bang Bang. Former poster texted me ā€œtwo chest shots and one to the headā€ Cop that
  14. Started supporting half way through 1965. Lived with last round 1976 and the Footscray Carlton draw. UK for 1987 then lived through 5 minutes of sunshine under Swoop, Balmey and Rev. Felt for the tragedies and early passings that have been well documented. Allegations of tanking - was at Jordie MCMahon game. Also 186, in Geelong Membersā€™ Stand. Watched as the Neeld horror show unfolded - a loss less than 100 was ā€œbreak evenā€. Subsequently watched from home in Vietnam and in Covid, saw 5 games at MCG this year. Never in dreams when PJ and Roos come on board did I think weā€™d be live for the finals 64 games later in 2015. Carlton thumped us. For 2019 didnā€™t even have us in the eight. Dream scenario wouldā€™ve been to win one final. Thx PJ, Paul Roos
  15. Night time or interstate Grannies - donā€™t support them. Happy to still take them if we keep winning them
  16. BANG! 2022 BANG! 2023 BANG! 2024
  17. Kossie spooked those dog defenders - coughed it up to Jackson
  18. For Godsake buy him a house on Melways page 58, introduce Moomba Queen, get him lifetime Myki, Scienceworks, room at YJs, Dendy Street bathing box. Whatever it takes.
  19. Love this - may become defining image. But no Trac
  20. Fortnight been saying we canā€™t play as well as Geelong final again ā€¦
  21. Thatā€™s fantastic- only saw their ads
