All Time Melbourne FC Moments

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Jako won the reserves goal kicking (the entire league, not just the club) and finished fourth in the Coleman in the same year from memory. Kicked the most goals in a season combining both seniors and reserves in AFL/VFL history I'm pretty sure.

Fastest 50 goals in afl/vfl history, 7 games I believe. And he only kicked 2 in his first game

Watch the semi final we lost to Adelaide in 2002 AmericanAFL ...that and the merger game two of best games I've been to in my life despite the results.

AFL at its finest.

Absolutely ridiculous how good he was, he had Ablett snr ability. Sadly a career with so much wasted potential.

The ones that come to mind straight away in particular order

* Farmer kicking 9 in the second half of the 2000 Queens bday game
* Melbourne coming from 50 odd down v Freo at the G when we were poo around 2009-2011. Wonna kicking a bag
* Lyon kicking 10 in a semi final v Bulldogs in 94
* The merger game v Hawthorn where Neitz kicked 7 or 8 and Dunstall kicked 9 I think. We lost but still an electrifying game
* Neitz missing a mark then coming crashing through and destroying (legitimately) some Bulldogs player. Possibly breaking his collar bone
* Green kicking 4 in the last quarter v Carlton in a final in 2000
* Schwarz putting on a masterclas v Carlton in the 94 finals. That take from the ruck, blind turn and couple of bounces before kicking the goal was magical. Oh what could have been if his kness held up
* Insert several Jackovich games in 92-93. Posibly the 9.8 or something he kicked v North

Now I forgot his name but you're thinking of the hawks player.

Luke McCabe.

Luke McCabe.

Yeah also reckon Neita broke his own collarbone in the bump but did snag the goal.

Nah, different game I think mate. The McCabe incident was round 1 I'm pretty sure, either 2000 or 2002.

The round one bump that set up 2002

Melbourne great David Neitz reflects on his imposing bump on Hawthorn’s Luke McCabe in round one, 2002

Yeah was 02, I have a memory of Neita bumping someone and then finishing the game nursing his own shoulder. Maybe against the Pies?

I do too but can't remember which game.

Some beauties in here that I'd totally forgotten about

 

[Marlowe]

Consecutive wooden spoons, blown out Round 1, then that. The The constant promise of breaking through, overcoming the odds, the heartbreak of "...almost", just dangling in front of you like that. It's what makes the disappointment sting so much, and disappointment is a peak Melbourne emotion.

It was 9 games & he actually kicked none in his first. The entire team only scored two goals for the match.
If you discount the first three games of his career he kicked 67 from 11 games plus a shitload of behinds in the seniors.
Anyone remember the game when Darren Bennett kicked 7 & Jakovich kicked 8.8?
